Chapter 144
When Dr. Dylan saw Allison’s cool demeanor, his face fell. “I put my phone on silent, so I didn’t hear it
“Really now” Allison didn’t press further, turning to smile at Jade and saying, “Dr. Jade”
Jade just nodded and left
Allison didn’t bring him up again, suddenly suggesting. “Let’s go see a movie. Since we’ve been together, we haven’t done anything other than eating”
Dr. Dylan was a bit taken aback, feeling like something was off about Allison today, but he agreed anyway. “Sure”
On their way, he hesitated before asking. “Allison, I thought you’d be upsel to see me with Dr. Jade”
“Why would I be upset? Dr. Jade is a great person” They also seemed like a good match.
According to Mrs. Huff, Jade’s mother, Dr Thalia, had been working hard on Dylan’s case.
Maybe Jade was the better fit for him.
In the cinema, Allison had already bought two tickets for a comedy movie
The movie theater wasn’t packed. Dylan and Allison sat together, watching the screen. Allison found the comedy hilarious and laughed quite a few times, but inside, she felt a pang of sourness
In a quiet scene with no background music or dialogue, just a blank screen, Allison spoke up. “Dr Dylan, let’s break up.”
Her voice was soft
But Dr. Dylan, sitting next to her, heard it.
“What did you say?” He thought he’d misheard.
“Let’s break up” Allison repeated, looking at him, “I think we’re not a good fit”
He had better options, and she wasn’t worth Dylan’s time.
“Allison, are you joking?”
In the dark theater, Allison felt the tears welling up in her eyes. She controlled her emotions and said, “Dr. Dylan, I’ve thought it through: I don’t like you.”
“Allison, are you dumping me because I’m jobless?”
Allison was stunned.
She hadn’t thought of it that way. She lightly bit her lip, thinking, She was the one holding Dylan back.
He had a bright future ahead, he shouldn’t waste his time on her.
”
She held back her tears and looked up at Dylan, saying, “Yes, you’re right. I’m dumping you because you’re jobless and broke. So, let’s break up.”
“No, I don’t believe it. Allison, I know you’re not that kind of person. Is there something else? Allison, is there something you’re not telling me?”
“No. I am that kind of person, a materialistic one!”
