When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 732

“I was thinking, maybe just let it be cold and distant,” Matt confessed, his voice heavy with emotion. “But deep down, I couldn’t let go. That day I saw Clarence calling you, jealousy got the better of me when I remembered he liked you. In a moment of anger, I kissed you. After that, I realized my true feelings.” “And then, when you started seeing Merritt, it hit me like a ton of bricks – I liked you, a lot. And I couldn’t stand seeing you with other guys.”

Christine was taken aback. Matt wasn’t usually one for heart-to-hearts. He was more the strong, silent type, except for those pivotal moments.

Especially after they’d started messaging each other. She’d tried to flirt, to draw him out, but his replies were few and far between. A “yeah” here, a “no” there. If she got too persistent, he’d go silent, giving her the cold shoulder.

Her message thread was a long string of her own unrequited attempts at conversation.

Even as they drifted apart, after he’d kissed her, she’d wondered if maybe he had feelings for her.

But before she could figure it out, his first love came back into the picture. The sparks between them were undeniable.

Yet, what finally made her decision was Jane explaining why Matt hadn’t stayed with his first love – a matter of social class.

But now, hearing him pour his heart out, she saw the depth of his feelings.

Life’s too short, she thought. She might not come from a powerful family, but she had Jane in her corner.
