The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 146

"We should break up, Silas," Maisie catches me off guard when she says that.

"What?" I look at her, confusion already taking over me.

"We should break up," she repeats what she has previously said.

"Why?" I ask, adjusting myself on the couch as I give her my full attention. She is at my place as usual. We're both working on our assignments, so to hear her suddenly say that has ine perplexed. "Have you met somebody else?" I wonder.

"No, I haven't met anybody else. But we need to break up for your sake." What is it with women in my life abandoning me in the name of doing that for my sake? "Silas, you won't get Rosie back if you stay with me."

"Rosie and I can't be together anymore. She literally said that she didn't want me in her life anymore," I remind her. I told her about what happened between me and Rosie, sparing no detail. I still can't believe that she told me she didn't want me anymore in her life. I expected a lot of terrible things to happen, but I had never expected that to happen.

"I remember you telling me that the moment you walked out, you heard her sobbing. If a girl wants you out of her life, will she sob after your departure?" she asks me and I think about her words for a moment. Could this be true? "I didn't point that out when you were telling me about what happened because you looked really hurt, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that Rosie didn't actually want that."

"But why would she tell me that she wanted me out of her life if she doesn't want that?" I ask, exhaling.

"Rosie feels guilty for everything she has put you through and I swear, she still loves you, but she has been seeing us together. She thinks that by staying in your life, she's going to ruin it, especially our relationship," Maisie explains. I don't know if this can ever be true, but if this is how it is, I will do anything to win her back.

"How could you be so sure of that?" I wonder.

"I'm a girl and I know how a girl eyes the guy she is in love with. Rosie really loves you. She always looks like she's about to
