Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 73

It seemed like it was time to tell him what I really thought.

"Chris, what you think is a small mistake is something I can't stand. After so many years together, you should know how much I hate sharing," I said as I stepped aside and put even more distance between us. "We don't have to be dramatically in love, but I can never accept my partner flirting with others, not even a little bit. If I'm dating you, then I want all of you." I turned, wanting to see Chris' expression. However, I accidentally met Brandon's gaze. We were only a few steps away from each other. He seemed to have also heard what I had said.

Our gazes only met for a second before I looked away and back at Chris. His gaze was full of impatience as he said, "Madeline, you should know that sort of thing only exists in fairy tales, not our modern society. Stop trying to live out your dreams."

He was right. Temptation was everywhere nowadays, and everything was faster, like cars, communication, and even relationships.

I smiled mildly. "If that doesn't exist, then I won't start at all. I'm not going to settle.'

Chris was left speechless by my determination. I looked at him and said, "

Chris, I hope this is the last time we're going to talk about such things. Let's go our own ways after splitting up. You should know how to leave the past behind you."
