Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640: She changed

"Let’s call off the engagement."

A long wave of silence followed the echoes of Nina’s very quiet voice. She and Finn stared at each other, as if even Nina had to process what she had said.

Call off the engagement.

Who would have thought? In the end, she would say these words to the man she loved—the man she admired, the man who touched her heart like no other, and the very man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

Now, all she was waiting for was his answer.

What would it be?

"No?" "Fine?" "Why?" "Please don’t."

Many things crossed her mind as she prepared her answer to all of them. After all, if these words came from him, then those would probably be the things she would say. She would ask him for an explanation or outright refuse. Their relationship wasn’t as grand as others, but what Nina was certain of was that their relationship had been genuine at one point. At least, that was what she believed.

After a minute, Nina finally heard him speak. However, what he said was something she didn’t expect to hear.

"Is that what you want?" Finn asked after a prolonged silence.

Hearing that, Nina couldn’t help but remember how he would always ask this question. Finn often asked her if her decisions were what she truly wanted or if her plans were aligned with her desires.

Her face twitched as she tried to form a smile, nodding. "Yes." No explanation followed.

"I see." Finn nodded, observing the look on her face. "If that is what you want, then... what choice do I have to make?"

"Thank you." Nina drew a deep breath, clearing her throat as she pushed herself up. She tried to keep it together, forcing out a smile even if that was the last thing she felt she could do at the moment. "Since that is settled, I’ll leave you first."

Having said that, Nina stared at him for a few seconds, as if to etch the look on his face in her memory, before walking away. As soon as she turned her back on him, her neck tightened, and she held her breath.

’Don’t cry,’ she told herself. ’Don’t cry, Nina. This is the right thing to do.’

One step away from the table felt like it took a lifetime of energy. However, she still forced and dragged her feet for the next step. One by one, little by little, the distance between her and Finn grew wider. And as she did so, she told herself that this was the right thing to do.

Was it rash? Perhaps it was. But ending things now was easier, wasn’t it?

Staying in a relationship, knowing she had been lied to multiple times just because he believed ignorance was bliss, was more insulting than upsetting. Even if they had talked about their careers and agreed not to focus on work when they were together, that didn’t mean he should lie to her.

’Ignorance was bliss, indeed,’ she told herself, continuing on her way. ’Until last night... our relationship was happy. There might be no perfect relationship, but what we had was perfect.’

’This is the right thing to do,’ she told herself. ’Don’t look back because if you do... you might hurt yourself even further.’

’I am the one who called off the engagement,’ she reminded herself, dragging her feet as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. ’You’ve done the right thing. This is for you, and I’m sure that in the future, you’ll thank me.’

This was the right thing to do. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
