Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 502 Be Less Selfish

“We’re not breaking up.” Hank took a deep breath. She’s just confused, that’s all. “Now calm down and eat something. I’ll get you some other food.” He stood up and was about to get her another kind of breakfast.

But Yelena buried her head in the blanket and screeched, “I can’t accept this. I can’t date you now. Not after all that’s happened. I know you know what I mean, Hank. Let’s just give ourselves some time alone.”

For some reason, guilt would well within Yelena when she was with Hank. Max died for her, and yet now she was dating some other guy. It was unfair to him, or so Yelena thought. She wasn’t being stupid. She just couldn’t accept this just yet.

Hank turned around. And with a slightly trembling voice, he asked, “Are you sure?”

Yelena was silent for a long while. Just when Hank thought she had snapped out of it, Yelena suddenly said, “Let’s break up.”

Hank froze for a moment. And then, he forced himself to stay calm. “Very well.” He turned and left.

Elspeth couldn’t step in. Yelena was in a really bad mood after all. She asked, “Are you all right?”

“Elsie…” Yelena pounced into Elspeth’s embrace and burst into tears. “I… It’s just heartbreaking. What should I do? Every time I think of Max, I can see him right in front of me, all bloody. I…”
