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

Chapter 542

My heart, which had finally calmed down, felt like someone had hurled a rock into it–now the waves- just wouldn’t stop.

I thought, ‘Edward’s not the type to lose control like this.‘

‘It’s not like he’s some twenty–something kid who can’t handle his feelings.’

‘He’s thirty–three–he’s been through everything. Relationships are nothing new to him. But somehow, the last person who should be acting like he’s got his first crush is now stuck in this weird, doomed thing, eating himself up inside.‘

I gripped my phone, thinking for ages before finally replying to Edward, “You can’t force feelings. Let’s just go our separate ways and be well.”

As soon as I hit send, I blocked him again and wiped out all our chats.

If this kept going, he’d make me lose my mind. If it were any other guy, I would’ve just confronted him face to face–with Ryan right there to back me up.

But with Edward, I just couldn’t do it. I didn’t even dare let Ryan notice the slightest thing off.

Lately, spending time with Ryan has actually made me a bit anxious. Maybe what people call “rationality” is just something women use to protect themselves when there’s no love in the picture.
