Scarlett didn't know what right she had to speak to Jonathan about this. She wasn’t his girlfriend. It would even be more unreasonable for her to speak to him as a friend because why should a regular friend interfere with his personal life?Evelyn thought Scarlett disagreed as she remained silent. Feeling helpless, she couldn't help but advise her sincerely, "Miss Langston, I hope you won't take my words to heart. But please consider my words carefully. I’m merely speaking the truth. Even if my son has feelings for you, it won't hold up in reality. You're both still young, and though you are adults, there are many things you might not know. Also, you should know how many women my son has dated. He's not necessarily faithful. And honestly, you and my son aren't compatible. In the future, you will come across many obstacles. My dear, I know you are a sensible person. If you truly cared for my son, you should let him go and pursue a better life instead of tying him down out of selfis

After a long pause, Jonathan slowly stood up and said, “This is not a decision you make on your own. You shouldn’t think too highly of yourself. I decide who I like or dislike. I won’t stop liking you because you said so. You’re right, though. You’re not worthy. I’m not a clingy man. Since you’ve made things clear, I will let you go. I hope you won’t regret this in the future.” Then, he left without looking back, not even sparing her a glance. If he did, he would have noticed the girl that had put on a brave face was crying with tears streaming down her face. Every teardrop seemed to express her reluctance and sorrows. But she couldn’t take back her words now. It was too late for her to regret it. She could only tell herself that she was doing it for Jonathan. This would be the last thing she could do for him. A week later, Jonathan left the country. She started her internship at a magazine company, and due to her good performance during the internship, she was hired after gr

The two best friends chatted, and before they knew it, time had passed as they enjoyed their coffee. Soon, night fell, and the sky that was once adorned with the setting sun was now full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful, but it also reminded Scarlett of the day she parted ways with Jonathan. That day was just like today, a beautiful night with bright stars. However, things had changed, and she could never sit here and talk with Jonathan as she did that day. Teressa noticed the shift in mood from across the table. After hesitating, Teresa couldn't help but speak up, "Scarlett, Jonathan ... He's coming back soon." Teresa didn’t know the details of Scarlett and Jonathan’s relationship, but she knew they went on a trip together during their final year while everyone was looking for internships. It was quite sudden since Scarlett barely hung out with Jonathan. Then, there were rumors that they were dating, but Jonathan went abroad to study soon after, and Scarlett never menti

As she spoke, Scarlett attempted to push Jonathan away, but he was too strong. She couldn't fight back at all. She felt like a fragile child in front of Jonathan, and he could crush her into pieces with just a little force. Jonathan leaned in and whispered coldly, "Do you think I’m still as compliant as before, allowing you to push me away repeatedly? Let me tell you, I’m not the same. How well do you think you know me? Let me make it clear, I will get what I want, including you!" Scarlett sensed the threat in Jonathan's words and looked at this unfamiliar man with some caution. She asked cautiously, "Jonathan, are you threatening me? What exactly do you mean? Why don't you just tell me instead of playing games? My time is not free, so let me go if you won't talk. I still have to work tomorrow." Scarlett was truly exhausted at this moment. Listening to her colleagues discuss Jonathan in the office had already put her on edge. After work, she spent so much time walking aroun

Just then, Scarlett heard someone call her name from behind her, "Scarlett?"Scarlett turned in confusion and realized that it was the school counselor. She never expected to see him here, and her heart was filled with warmth at the sight of him. She hadn't seen him since graduating, so she didn't think he would still remember her. She hastily wiped the tears from her face before greeting him with a brilliant smile, "Mr. Brown! Why are you here?""I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would drop by to play basketball. How's work? Why aren't you here with Jonathan? I can't believe it's been a year already. Time really flies … I still remember when Jonathan would play basketball, and you would cheer for him from the sidelines. I miss all of you, so come by with Jonathan next time! By the way, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation when both of you get married. After all, I've got my eye on both of you, and I'm sure you will end up together. I remember how nice Jonathan trea
