They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287

Her first crush, in its own imperfect way, had reached a conclusion that left little room for regret.

Letting go was the best outcome for both of them.

Sana reassured herself with these thoughts as she made her way to the office, and by the time she arrived, her emotions had settled into a calm resolve.

The first thing she did, resolutely deciding to move on, was to unfollow Wesley on all her social media accounts.

She wanted to avoid those sudden notifications that might shake her determination.

She had considered deleting him from her contacts entirely but realized that would be too obvious. Besides, with Jessica involved, she might still need to get in touch. So she refrained. But from that day forward, she never sent Wesley another message.

At the mental health clinic, Wesley had been busy all morning. When he finally stood up to take a break and go eat, he suddenly remembered his phone. Picking it up, he saw only a few news alerts on the lock screen.

He instinctively unlocked it and opened his social app, only to discover that Sana, who usually sent him five or six links by now, had shared nothing today. No messages, no posts.

The silence was uncharacteristic.

He stared at the handful of links she had sent just yesterday and sat quietly for a long moment.

‘Is she upset with me?‘ he wondered.

He tried to piece together what might be going on in Sana’s mind, but without seeing her, his own analysis seemed unreliable, and eventually, he gave

1. up.

Perhaps it was better to find an opportunity to meet her face to face and talk things through.

Meanwhile, Jessica stepped out of her office and spotted Sana standing against the wall, her eyes fixed on her phone, lost in thought. Concern crept into

Jessica’s voice as she asked, “Are you okay?”

Startled, Sana quickly composed herself. “Oh, it’s nothing. Jessi, are, you heading to lunch? I can come with you.”

She put away her phone and joined Jessica.

Jessica noticed the heavy jacket Sana wore, zipped all the way up to her neck, and frowned. “Why are you dressed so warmly?”

It was not cold in the office, and the sun outside was blazing.

Sana offered a quick explanation, “I’ve got eczema on my neck. It’s pretty noticeable, so I’m covering it up.”

The real reason, of course, was far more personal. Wesley had left her neck covered in bruises. She couldn’t possibly show it to anyone.

Thankfully, Wesley had bought her the jacket. Otherwise, she would have been late that morning.

Jessica’s concern deepened. “Have you put on the ointment?”

“Yes. Don’t worry about me. By the way, did Madeline get in touch with you today?” Sana quickly diverted the conversation.

She feared that continuing to talk might lead her to slip up.

Having decided to let go, she felt no need for anyone else to know about her relationship with Wesley, avoiding any misunderstandings.

And Sana truly wished for Wesley’s happiness, no matter who he ended up with.
