Chapter 128

The next day at school, Jocelyn was greeted by Ursula, who immediately inquired about what’s going on after she left the previous night.

“We broke up.” Jocelyn said with a wry smile to Ursula. “But we’re back to being friends now”

Ursula wasn’t exactly surprised by the outcome but was curious about another matter. “Are you thinking of getting back together with Mr. Martinez?”

Jocelyn shock her head. “No.”

“Then why let a catch like Harrison slip through your fingers?” Ursula couldn’t understand. “You guys could have dated without any issues. There was no need to let go.”

“I just can’t get over this hump in my heart”

“At the end of the day, you’re still hung up on Mr. Martinez, Ursula said. “If you love someone, be with him. You’re miserable together and apart anyway. Why not choose to be together? There’s got to be moments of happiness sometimes.”

Listening to Ursula’s skewed logic, Jocelyn couldn’t help but chuckle. “You might actually have a point.”

“Of course I do,” Ursula retorted with disdain. “It’s the same with guys chasing girls. They’re happy with the one they’ve got but still checking out the market. It’s all about pleasure. They don’t need to wear their hearts on their sleeves. A few good times, a bit of a thrill, and they’re set

“The thrill’s the main thing, huh?” Jocelyn mused. Her long conversation with Harrison the previous night had truly shifted her perspective

Now, she even found herself in the mood for a joke.

“So what do you think? Ursula pressed. Really not getting back with him?”

“Nope. Haven’t thought about it”

“So you’re letting go of both an old flame and a new possibility? Then you shouldn’t have broken up with Harrison. He’s a great guy. You could have given it time, let affection grow

“My relationship with Harrison was a mistake from the start. Staying with him out of obligation is not fair to him” Jocelyn sighed. “Now that it’s out in the open, I feel so much lighter.

Ursula shrugged. “I can’t tell if you’re lucky or not. One great guy after another, and yet you end up with none.”
