Chapter 267:

She thought that this might be the last time they would ever share the same bed. Once morning arrived, they would truly go their separate ways. Saying she was ready to let go now was nothing but a lie. Ten years of love and devotion—how could it all disappear in a single night? She could pretend for his sake, but deep down, she couldn’t fool herself.

As she turned over, she told herself—this would be the last time she ever stared at his back. She wouldn’t chase after him anymore.

Back in their school days, he had always walked ahead, never looking back. His long strides carried him farther and farther away, and all she ever saw was his back. But she had loved him too much to give up. So every time, she would run after him, like a shadow that refused to disappear. It took time to catch up, but she always did—reaching for his arm, calling his name, pleading softly, doing whatever it took to make him stay.

Back then, people had scolded her, saying, “Rachel, don’t you have any self-respect? Why do you always run after him after every fight? Can’t you stand up for yourself just once?”

She had wanted to. She had longed for him to hold her instead. But the fear of losing him, the fear of breaking up, was far stronger. So she never took that risk.

And when someone asked her the same question again, she lifted her head, her eyes filled with hope and dreams. With a determined smile, she had said, “Just wait. Everything I’m doing will be worth it. One day, I’ll win his heart, and when I do, he’ll be the one chasing after me—making up for every time I had to run after him. Just watch!”
