Chapter 396

I paused for a moment, then said, “The only ones I truly care about are the people who brought me into this world, and the one! brought into this world.”

Jared looked stunned for a second, then let out a bitter laugh. “Really? So after the divorce, there’s no love, no family, and now not even a shred of attachment left between us?”

I stared down at the two lemon slices in my glass and said quietly, “Jared, I’m not hung up on you and Tracy anymore. Maybe you should just find someone new and start over.”

Jared’s hand shook as he held his coffee cup, almost spilling it. He set the cup down on the table, and his whole vibe suddenly grew colder.

“Why are you so quick to push me to find someone else? Have my feelings for you turned into a burden? Am I making things hard for you?” Jared could always take things to another level with his imagination.

I gave him a puzzled look.

Jared shot me an angry glare. “So what, if I move on, you can be with Nathan or Edward without any guilt? Is that it? You think that’ll keep people from dragging your name through the mud?”

“Why are you getting so worked up about this?” I let out a soft sigh. “I’m just looking out for you. Honestly, your parents would probably want you to move on and find someone new.”

Jared looked at me with a hint of blame in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and turned to stare out the window. Outside, a rolling green meadow stretched on and on into the distance.

“I’m just not the type to move on,” Jared finally said after a long silence. “I loved you so much, and I still couldn’t hold onto you. Ifl tried again, it’d only hurt even more.”
