800 Chapter 799

Jenkins stopped in her tracks and turned around, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "What? Having second thoughts about letting me go?"

The voice that stopped her was Keira's. Peter also spun around, his gaze shifting to Keira.

Keira looked at them both and said slowly, "I just thought you two could use a proper goodbye."

The words lingered in the air. Peter and Jenkins exchanged a glance but quickly looked away, each refusing to hold the other's gaze.

Keira noticed and gave a faint smile as she stepped between them. "Jenkins, you really do care about my brother, don't you?"

Jenkins was caught off guard, pausing for a beat.

Peter froze as well.

"If you didn't care," Keira continued, "then when you made him choose, you would've simply said yes to his question. If you truly wanted him to choose you over me, you would've told him you cared. But you avoided it, didn't you?"

She turned directly to Jenkins. "Why?"

Jenkins's face tightened. "I just didn't want to lie."

"No," Keira replied. "You just didn't want to put Peter in a difficult position."
