She Cheated and then Regreted So Much novel Chapter 5

I opened our chat and saw that just as I had sent my breakup text, she had sent her own message:

"Work emergency tonight, staying late."

"Gotta cancel tomorrow's plans."

Then more messages:

"James, what the hell does ‘let's break up' mean?"

"Just because I didn't meet your parents, you're dumping me?"

"So that's why you were acting so weird today, huh?"

"You were just waiting to pull this stunt."

As I scrolled, an incoming call popped up—William.

My thumb twitched, and before I could stop myself, I hit accept.

His voice came through, overly dramatic as always.

"James! Finally, you answer! Sarah's been so worried about you."

"You quitting out of nowhere caused a mess at work."

"This company is Sarah's everything. You can't just do this to her."

Before I could say a word, Sarah grabbed the phone from him.

"James, you're almost thirty years old."

"Can you stop acting like a child?"

"William thinks this is all his fault—he even submitted his resignation over this."

"Are you happy now? Just quit the theatrics and get your ass back here."

"Otherwise, I might have to seriously reconsider this relationship."

Her voice dripped with confidence, as if she believed I was only doing this out of jealousy.

I let out a sharp laugh.

"Don't bother considering. I meant what I said—we're done."
