Chapter 165

Zoe smiled and patted Natalie's shoulder. The warmth and voice were both genuine.

Zoe stepped back, smiling at her, noticing how much weight she had lost. But Zoe was really happy because she didn't see the usual sadness in Natalie's eyes.

Her eyes were bright, just like when they first met.

"Natalie, I just knew one day you'd realize like I did, and stop letting them push you around."

But Natalie's eyes teared up because, for Zoe, it was about cutting losses in time. But for her, it felt like she had to transport back to finally realize it.

"Yeah! Zoe, I've left the Simpson family and I'm divorcing Easton. I'm never going back to the Simpson family, and I'll never love Easton again."

She suddenly decided to come here because Maurice had something come up unexpectedly and couldn't make it back in time. Since she wouldn't see Maurice tonight, she thought she'd drop by and check on Zoe.

Zoe was thrilled to hear that. Seeing her truly let go of the Simpson family made her quite happy. "Natalie, it's good you left. You're amazing and shouldn't let them wear you down. Cooking and cleaning for a man is fine, as long as he's worth giving up everything for." She looked at the calm and serene ocean during the sunset, saying, "You know, I've liked Jason since I was 12 years old.

"In middle school, I was running after him, becoming the biggest joke in our circle. I did all kinds of silly things for him before finally realizing that he didn't love me, no matter what.

"That plan a few months ago made me completely give up on him. You once asked me why I left so decisively even though I loved him so much.

"Back then, I really wanted to tell you something because I saw how kind you were to Easton, just as I used to be to Jason. People like us, who lack self-love and are full of insecurities, won't find happiness.

"Since that night, whenever I look at Jason, all those intense feelings just faded away. I don't love him anymore and won't cling to him.

"I have been pursuing him for over a decade. Others mock me, calling me a simp, but I'm simply chasing my own happiness. As for the gossip, I just shrug it off.

"He often seeks out Jasmine. I think someone like her isn't worthy of his love. One day, he'll realize that and return. "But how can a childhood friend compete with a sudden romance? His heart has always been with Jasmine," Zoe said.
