Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 543 Lenold is Missing

Everleigh set down her utensils and looked at him seriously. She was inexplicably nervous, not knowing what Stainley would say.

He took a deep breath, and his voice was still as gentle as a dove; it was so gentle that it would make him the most eligible bachelor acknowledged by all.

“Everleigh, after I came back from abroad, I saw you and Theodore. I know that you like him. I also know that try as I might, I won’t be able to earn a place in your heart.”

Her eyelids drooping, she listened to him quietly.

“I wanted to talk to you about these earlier, but you have been busy. Plus, I don’t have the time as well. Today, I want to take this opportunity to talk things out with you.”

“Stainley, I’m sorry…”

“You don’t have to apologize,” he said in a gentle tone. “Let me finish. I just want to tell you that I’ve decided to move on. Starting today, I’ll be looking for the right one for me.” He looked at her with not much emotion. He had thought that his heart would ache when he said these words, but for some reason, he felt more relaxed than ever before.

Perhaps this time, he really decided to move on for good.

There was no need to walk on eggshells around his feelings.

Now, he had completely let her go.

When Everleigh heard those words, she was stunned. “Stainley, what you said…”

“What I said is the truth. I’ve wasted so many years on you, but I don’t regret it. At least I’ve tried my best and left no regrets. Am I right?”

She pursed her lips and said nothing, but in her eyes was an unconcealed whirlpool of guilt.

Who was she to have made Stainley waste all those years on her? Her guilt towards him was ineffable.

“So what I’m trying to say is, don’t put the blame on yourself. You don’t have to hide from me, and we can still be friends in the future. I know actions speak louder than words, and I will prove it to you.”

She chuckled and said, “If that is possible, then it would be my honor.”

“Really? After being entangled for so many years, I’ve had enough. Besides, if I don’t score a girlfriend soon, my mom would probably disown me,” he added while letting out a laugh.

She couldn’t help but laugh along. During his college years, he had been constantly urged to find a girlfriend. It had been so many years. Sure enough, his parents couldn’t wait any longer.

“Eat your meal. I’ve expressed what I wanted to say. What a weight off my chest.” His eyes were slightly red. He had persisted for so many years, but nothing came to fruition in the end.
