Chapter 172 Just Friends, Just Goodbye

She knew that once this steel–hearted straight man cut off his feelings for her, that would be the end of it.

He would never reach out to her again.

He’d never be her friend again.

He had probably already deleted her from his contacts.

Thinking about waking up tomorrow with no one to say good morning, no one to say goodnight before bed, left a hollow ache in her chest.

She really didn’t want to let him go.

Really couldn’t.

But maybe this was for the best.

She and James were about to finalize their divorce anyway.

He despised her that much. Once the divorce went through, they’d have nothing to do with each other anymore. That was probably what was best for him…

James was still at the café.

He’d actually arrived a little before five thirty.

But even as the neon lights flickered on outside, he still hadn’t seen his Leila.

After he messaged to ask what airport she was at, he waited anxiously for her reply.

He hoped she’d tell him which airport it was so he could go find her.

He’d also prepared himself to be turned down again.

But he never expected what came next: she said she’d lied to him.

She wasn’t a girl.

She was a man.
