Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Aveline smiled, a smile filled with sarcasm.

She slowly separated Alexander's fingers one by one. "Mr. Sterling, I have never asked for anything from you. Even the so-called position of Mrs. Sterling, if I can let go, I won't dwell on it anymore."

In the shimmering pupils of Alexander, Aveline's lips curled slightly, and she spoke in a very calm voice, "I used to think that you were better than a spring breeze. But when I stood alone, waiting from the budding of branches to the cicadas' summer song, to the yellowing of autumn leaves, and the winter snowfall, I couldn't wait any longer. I had to drag my weary body forward slowly. Later, I realized that the spring breeze, the summer cicadas, the autumn leaves, and the winter snow- everything in the world is more beautiful than you."

She gently lifted her hand, and her slender fingers lightly brushed the face that she had once loved passionately.

"Alexander, I can't deny that I haven't completely forgotten you.

Perhaps for a long time, I won't be able to erase you from my heart. You still affect my emotions, disturb my nerves, but.. I just don't have the energy to think about you anymore."

Alexander's gaze reflected her face clearly. It was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar that he felt like he had never seen it before.

He clenched his teeth and forced out a cold tone from his throat, "Aveline, do you really want to draw a line between us like this?"

Aveline met his eyes calmly. At this moment, she wasn't afraid, nor was she pretending.

"Yes, if it weren't for finding Leo, I wouldn't have actively sought you out. Even though I don't like Nora, I don't want to be the second her.

When you have a marital relationship, I don't want to entangle with you anymore. Divorce is not just a piece of paper, it's a choice made by two adults. Now, what you need to do is to respect your own choice."

He slowly released his hand from her shoulder. "I hope you won't regret your choice today."

Aveline thought she would be afraid, would be at a loss.

But when it really came to this, she found herself much calmer than she had imagined.

"I used to be afraid of the dark, afraid of you leaving, afraid of you not loving me anymore. I closed my eyes, blocked my ears, and stopped my steps from moving forward. But now I realize that the reason it was scary was because I closed my eyes and didn't dare to face it. When I truly accepted reality and don't care about anything, I realize that you are the one I'm most afraid of losing. But I've already lost you. What else is there to be afraid of?"

Alexander opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, he found that he didn't know where to start.

He could only weakly lower his hand and look at Aveline with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Do you really think this through?"

Aveline forced a smile. "Alexander, I really tried. Because I have always believed in one thing, when you're about to give up on your dreams, tell yourself to hold on for one more day, one more we ek, one more month, and hold on for another year, and you will find that refusing to leave brings surprising results."

These two lies had fueled her youthful passion, and she had thrown herself into his arms headlong.

Fairy tales don't lie; the prince and princess live happily ever after.

But no fairy tale tells the story of the princess's life after marriage.

There are too many things in this world that are beyond one's control and helplessness.

Even if there is still a place for her in Alexander's heart, she couldn't accept the presence of another woman beside her.

So she let go, completely and thoroughly.

S h e wanted to find her old self.

Aveline dialed a number, and a voice she hadn't heard in a long time came through, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Senior," Aveline smiled.
