In this case…that was it. She wouldn't have to find another excuse to break up with Allen.
She nodded with a wry smile, “Allen, let’s…break up.”
Everyone was shocked to hear it, including Chance, Martin, Fiona and Allen.
Allen…was still reeling from the shock and his face went pale.
“What…what did you say?”
He looked at Joey in disbelief. He had just questioned her and she had decided to break up with him?
“I’ve thought it through in the past few days. I…I don’t deserve you. Why don’t we break up?”She said with a trembling voice.
Turning her head away from Allen, Joey took her suitcase and handbag from Allen and said to Fiona in an anxious voice, “Fiona, may I stay with you for another few days? Let’s go.”
She was leaving
“Baby…”
After a moment's hesitation, Allen rushed to hold her from behind and his voice was full of anxiety and panic, “Baby, don’t go. I’m sorry. I made a terrible mistake. I shouldn’t have questioned you. I should have trusted you no matter what. Please don’t be mad at me. Come home with me…”
Joey closed her eyes and tears were running down her face.
Allen had always been a very proud man, yet he was begging her to stay now. She knew he must have loved her very much.
It was a shame that things had changed.
Biting her lips, Joey prised his fingers one by one and said in a cold voice, “I’m not mad at all. I am very serious. Let’s end it on good terms.”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Fiona hesitated for a second, sighed and quickly caught up with Joey.
Allen was left shocked and broken-hearted. Chance and Martin were confused.
“Joey, why are you so cruel to me?”
All of a sudden, Allen shot at her with much pain in his voice.
His cry drew the attention of other passengers who turned their heads to look at him and Joey in surprise.
