"How can we get married when there's no love between us?" Frey questioned.
"We've laid everything out today, so let's just let each other go. Neither of us is worth it anymore."
"We're like two trapped beasts, constantly biting at each other. Why must we stay together?"
Nathaniel’s expression suddenly changed, and he could hardly believe his ears.
In reality, he always knew it would end like this, but hearing her say she didn't love him anymore still struck him hard, making his heart ache intensely.
Nathaniel struggled to find words, but he eventually let her go.
Frey looked at him and said, "I’ll pack your things and have Koen pick them up. I’ll transfer the money for the furniture you bought in this house. Remember to check it"
Nathaniel lowered his head and slowly turned around. His heart had never hurt this much.
It felt like it had been stabbed repeatedly, with all the blood drained away.
No matter how shameless he was, he couldn't force himself to stay after Frey said those words.
Nathaniel took a deep breath and looked at Frey. "Okay, I promise."
Frey was surprised by how easily he agreed. From the beginning, after Nathaniel decided not to let her go, she knew escaping his control in Saeville would be impossible.
"Thank you, Mr. Nathaniel," Frey smiled.
Nathaniel raised his hand, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly. He whispered, "I promise to give you some time alone, but I will never let you go."
"Frey, you know how I am. I, Nathaniel, never let go of what I want."
"You're mine within my grasp. I can indulge your willfulness countless times, but I will not let you go. Yes, I will never let you go!"
He loosen Frey, walked to the door, and walked out.
He didn’t even change his clothes, rushing into the cold night in his casual clothes and slippers.
