When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 334

Gratitude and guilt swirled within me, keeping any sharp retorts at bay. I forced a smile, “No worries, it hardly hurts.”

He withdrew his hand, letting out a silent sigh before saying, “You should head back home. I just wanted to see if you were alright. Now that I know you are, I can rest easy.”

“Alright.”

The chill made me sniffle as I waved goodbye to him and headed towards my doorstep.

Thinking back to his asking about the place, I turned around, “Oh, and Mark, I’ll make sure to move out as soon as I can…”

Originally, I thought ours was merely a friendship.

But knowing what I know now, I preferred it stayed that way, with no extra complications.

“Thank you…”

“Jane, we’re still friends.”
