Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 155

Chapter 36 Callan's gaze trembled as he noticed the tear tracks on my face.

I looked at the blood staining his knuckles and gently wrapped my arms around him.

"Stop fighting, Callan. I'm scared. Let's go home, okay? Stay away from this madman."

"..Alright."

Callan held me close, ready to leave, not sparing Jason a single glance as we walked away.

Behind us, Jason's voice erupted in a desperate scream.

"Caroline! Come back! You're mine! You're mine! Don't go... I'm sorry, don't leave... You used to only care about me..."

I closed my eyes briefly, then made the decision to turn back.

When our gazes met, Jason's eyes lit up for a moment with hope.

But I said, "If you harass us again, I'll report you to the police."

"Jason, I'm begging you, please save a shred of dignity for yourself. Weren't you always the one who valued appearances the most? Stop doing this. It's over. I truly don't love you anymore."

At my words, Jason's outstretched hand fell heavily to his side.

He had thought I would reach out to him.

But I didn't.

Instead, I drove a dagger into his heart.

The Wedding.

Although the wedding was organized in a short time, Callan spared no effort. The banquet, the arrangements, and every little detail reflected his sincerity.

Dressed in a one-of-a-kind wedding gown, I stood at the end of the red carpet and realized something.

Marriage... wasn't so bad after all.

Maybe, just maybe...

Marrying Callan was a good choice.

As we stood on the stage exchanging vows, my sharp eyes caught sight of Jason sitting in the far back corner of the guest seats.
