Chapter 397

Zeke furrowed his brows.

He was thrown a tough question so he wasn't sure if he should answer in the affirmative.

Juliana bit down hard on her lip while staring intently at him. In a begrudging tone, she questioned, “Are you still not going to tell me the truth even after I have decided to leave Hallsbay to reunite with my family?”

Zeke sighed softly before casting his fountain pen aside. While leaning against the backrest of his chair lazily, he touched his forehead and drawled, “I don't love her, for I'm not interested in romance. Or rather, I've yet to meet a woman who my heart yearns for.”

Upon hearing that, Juliana pressed on, “So will you marry her?”

“Not for the time being.” Zeke didn't mince words.

On second thought, he worried that his reply might give her hope, so he added, “If I must get married, she will be my first choice.”

Juliana straightened her body abruptly and gave him a solemn look before turning to walk to the door.

“Okay, I understand, Zeke. I wish you a lifetime of happiness. You have my best wishes from another continent.”

As Zeke watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkened, and with his mouth agape, he was about to say something.

Alas, he had no words as his lips quivered, so he could only stare as her figure disappeared from the doorway.

This is for the best. She will return to where she belongs, and I shall, once again, have peace.
