Chapter 1550

Jamie did love Ben. In this lifetime, she had dreamed of being with him. But life had taught her to face reality first. She couldn't be with Ben again.

Shaking her head, she said, "I won't get back together with Ben. Mrs. Lucas, thank you for no longer standing in our way. But Ben and I have been apart for four years now. I'm not the same Jamie I used to be. Let him keep the version of me he remembers." It didn't matter if Ben hated her. Over time, that hatred would fade, and with it, so would his obsession.

She shook her head. "Neither Winnie nor Ben would accept that. I just think that we've been apart for too long."
