Chapter 245 Letting Go

“Leila!”

She had only run a few steps when she suddenly felt her body tighten–James had rushed up behind her and wrapped her in a tight embrace.

Lily instinctively tried to break free. She didn’t want things to stay messy between them, didn’t want to be caught in lingering ambiguity. She pushed at his arms, trying to create some space.

But his strength was too much for her. She couldn’t shake him off.

The next second, she felt the vulnerable weight of his face pressed into the crook of her neck, his breath warm and uneven.

His voice trembled with a desperate, fragile fear of losing her.

“Leila… can’t we not make a clean break?”

That rare trace of weakness and pleading in his tone made tears well up in Lily’s eyes. They fell before she could stop them.

Afraid the drops might fall onto the back of his hand and betray her, she quickly wiped her face.

The urge to turn around and hug him back surged with terrifying force.

But then what?

No matter h how badly she wanted to, she’d never grow those “few extra ounces” that would make her a man. The longer this dragged on, the deeper they both sank. The more it would hurt–both of them.

In the end, she forced herself to harden her heart and spoke, pausing on each word.

“If my grandfather dies with regret in his heart.. I’ll never forgive myself.”

His arms fell away, strength draining from his body, leaving nothing to hold her back.
