After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 455

Every time the topic of love came up, Ryan would just fix his gaze on me, unwavering.

That look made me feel like a real heartbreaker.

But since I couldn’t give him the pure love he deserved, if I was going to be a heartbreaker, I should at least be upfront about it, so he wouldn’t feel played.

“Why are you saying things like that again?” Ryan seemed to see right through me, letting out a soft sigh. “You know, ever since I met you, when you say ‘see you tomorrow,‘ it feels like a promise. When you say it, it actually makes me look

forward to the next day.”

The way he said it–those few words, even more irresistible than a love confession–really got to me.

I lowered my eyes, guilt weighing on me, my voice sounding tired. “Ryan, if we’re going to be together, let’s not get hung up on where this is going, okay? Chase whatever you want, just don’t go after some unrealistic, illusory love.”

Ryan looked genuinely shocked, staring at me like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Being together isn’t about heading straight for marriage–it’s about chasing happiness. So marriage isn’t the real goal; happiness is.”

I blinked, wondering to myself if we were even talking about the same thing.

1 could only smile and give him a compliment. “Pretty insightful for someone your age.”

Ryan just gave me a look and took a bite of his food. “Don’t talk to me like you’re some wise old elder. Seriously, look at yourself you’re not even that old.”

I instantly felt awkward. Guess I got a little too cocky and totally forgot to keep my cool.
