The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 44

It wasn't until Jude came face-to-face with the competition lingering around his goddess that he finally understood what Mika meant when she said he had zero chance.

It was a crushing sense of defeat—being completely overpowered in aura, capability, and sheer closeness to Seraphina.

Likely affected by his terrible mood, he had lost every single game he played last night, not to mention getting inexplicably jumped on his way home.

After experiencing such a rapid succession of failures, Jude suddenly felt exhausted. And then, he thought of Mika.

Mika had always been so gentle and friendly toward him. Whenever she looked at him, her eyes used to be full of undeniable adoration.

Perhaps the reason Mika had offered to help him pursue Seraphina was specifically to make him realize how impossible the gap between him and Seraphina really was.

To make him realize that she was the one who would always be waiting for him, no matter what?

Tossing and turning in pain last night, Jude had scrolled through social media and stumbled across a video.

[The reason the moon is the moon is because it cannot be easily plucked from the sky. Perhaps some girls are meant to be cherished purely in our hearts.

Meanwhile, most of us spend our lives just finding someone who loves us and settling down.]

Resonating deeply with the sentiment, Jude reluctantly made a difficult decision.

"Mika, I think I'm going to give up on Seraphina."

"I'll give you a chance. Let's try being together as a couple for a month. If you can actually impress me, we'll make it official."

Jude let out a long, dramatic sigh as he said this, then turned his head to seriously look Mika up and down.

"Just a heads-up, though. Even though you seem to be losing weight for me lately, you still need to drop under a hundred pounds.

Also, you need to learn how to do your makeup and dress better. Otherwise, it's kind of embarrassing for me to take you out. Can you do that?"

Mika: "..."

When a person reached peak speechlessness, all they could really do was laugh.

So, Jude had realized he couldn't get Seraphina, and decided to promote her from 'tool' to 'backup plan'?

And he was 'giving her a chance'?

With that, he walked out without looking back.

The pathetic, defeated aura from moments ago was completely gone. He looked exactly like a golden retriever hearing its master's whistle, tail wagging wildly as it sprinted away.

Mika was so thoroughly disgusted by his arrogant, delusional behavior that she couldn't speak for a solid minute.

Was this the universal struggle for average girls?

When a mediocre, overconfident man realized he couldn't score a beautiful woman, he somehow developed this inexplicable confidence.

He truly believed that an average, docile girl would fall right into his lap the second he tried, or at least that his chances of success were incredibly high.

This self-righteous 'settling' instantly turned Mika's apathy for Jude into a much deeper, visceral disgust.

She seriously began to wonder if her intelligence had been artificially lowered by the author in her past life for her to ever have feelings for such a delusional, bottom-tier piece of trash.

It seemed it was time to figure out a plan...

To break up with Jude Jensen as fast as humanly possible.
