Chapter 280 Delete You? Couldn’t Do It

But when James saw the message she had sent, it felt like his heart was being torn apart. Yesterday had been her wedding. He said he’d been too busy that night, but on his wedding night, what else could he possibly have been busy with

In that instant, every word on the screen turned into a barbed arrow, stabbing straight through him. A thousand arrows pierced his heart, leaving him wishing he were dead. Lille… really didn’t want me anymore.

The study window was open, and the air flowed freely through the room, yet he still clutched his chest, gasping for air, a suffocating pressure weighing down on him.

The endless ache and sourness consumed his heart; for a moment, he didn’t even have the strength to hold the phone in his hand. He froze in pain for a long while before finally mustering enough energy to grip the phone again.

His fingers trembled so violently that it took several tries before he could even type.

He didn’t want Leila to get married.

He didn’t want her to take a wife or have children. But seeing her marry and settle down had been his grandfather’s last wish.

And now she had married. She had consummated the marriage. He couldn’t shamelessly interfere and tear them apart.

He couldn’t bear to put her in a difficult spot; he couldn’t bear to make her unhappy.

All he could do was let go and bless her.

Lillse, congratulations on your wedding.”

Normally, he typed quickly. But now, those few words felt like they had drained every last ounce of strength from his body.

Turning his face to the side, away from the searing pain of the message on his screen, he forced himself to continue typing after a long pause.

“Wishing you and your wife a lifetime of joy and a beautiful family.”

The moment he sent the message, it was like his soul had slipped away. He sat there in a daze, staring at the screen as it slowly dimined to black.

He desperately wanted her to reply–but at the same time, he was terrified she actually would.

A few seconds later, Lallse’s reply came,

Thanks

Just that one word was enough to stuff out every last trace of the tenderness and ambiguity that had once

existed between them.

It was over, Completely.

Chapter 280 Delete You? Couldn’t Do It

He wanted to say one more thing. Lille, please be happy.

But he couldn’t type those words, because deep down, he wanted her happiness to come from him. He wanted to be the one to give it to her.

But now, all he could do was watch from a distance, like a pitiful outsider hiding in the dark, quietly stealing glances at her happiness.

James, from now on, whether in real life or online, let’s not contact each other anymore. Please delete me from your friends list

She wanted them to delete each other. James‘ fingers trembled so badly he could barely hold his phone. Still, he forced himself to type: “Okay”

She must’ve already deleted him–she didn’t reply after that. He tapped on her profile picture.

He knew she had started a brand–new life. Deleting each other, never disturbing one another again–that was the right thing to do. The mature thing. But no matter how many times he went back and forth into her profile. he just couldn’t bring himself to press “Delete.”

Almost in despair, he thought. Fine. Let it be. Just delete me

As for him, he would keep her in his friends list forever. Occasionally, he’d glance at her cartoon avatar… sometimes, he’d let himself miss that ugly yet adorable face of hers. That would be enough.

Lillse. I’m sorry…

Thinking about how he couldn’t stop himself from remembering Lily too, James gripped his phone tight, eyes red, whispering through clenched teeth. “I’m sorry…”

He truly felt like there wasn’t a more disgusting man on Earth than him.

His parents had always taught him to be loyal–to love one person with all his heart. He had solemnly promised them that he, James, would never be fickle. Never break someone’s heart.

But in the end, he had failed them and betrayed his own heart.
