Chapter 284

The moment Hamilton saw her slide the ring off her finger, his heart sank.

Until she spoke those words.

The color drained from his face instantly.

"Say that again!"

Natalia looked straight into the eyes of the man in front of her.

She truly loved him.

They had promised, once back, they would get married.

She had tried her best to move forward.

To let go of the past, to let go of Eveleen, and even that child.

But this was the result she got.

His family didn't like her, and they went as far as to cause her mother's death.

He had promised not to see Eveleen again, yet he did.

In this gamble of love, she had lost.

Lost completely.

"I said, we should break up."

"Hamilton, your family doesn't like me. We shouldn't force this any longer. I can't take it anymore."

"From now on, I won't ask if you can forget about Eveleen. I don't even hope for you to truly let her go anymore. Let's end things here." Tears fell from Natalia's eyes without warning.

This was the first time Hamilton had seen her cry since he came back.

Even at Tatiana's funeral, she hadn't shed a tear, but now, they just wouldn't stop.

Natalia stood up, the diamond ring falling to the floor with a clear, echoing sound.

She thought.

Some things just can't be fixed.

Like the bathroom mirror.

Once broken, you can only replace it with a new one.

The old one, even if mended, will always show its cracks.

Panic surged through Hamilton.

He hadn't expected Natalia to find out he had seen Eveleen.

"Natalia, I saw Eveleen because..."

He reached for her, trying to explain.

Natalia struggled to break free.

But Hamilton wouldn't let go.
