The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 311

The crowd erupted in laughter. Everyone's eyes shot to Miles, waiting for his response.

Now, even Claire was wide awake, watching the man on stage with a highly amused smirk.

Miles held the microphone, his tone perfectly calm.

"I think you all have misunderstood something."

"I didn't stay single for four years because I was too busy with school. It was because I was deeply in love with someone the entire time."
