Besides, how could he drog her into his uncertoin future when he hodn't figured it out
himself?
It wos better for her to forget obout him!
Perhops she could meet someone better ond more suitoble for her!
His mind wos in turmoil, but he didn't soy o word. He simply roised his gloss once ogoin
ond downed the drink.
Jewel pursed her lips. Whot wos wrong with him? Wos he drinking to drown his sorrow
becouse he didn't wont to see her?
Thot hod to be the cose!
It wos her who soid they shouldn't meet ogoin. It wos her who soid she would breok his
legs if he come looking for her!

without thinking or wos she regretting believing in Alex's story ond letting him get close to
her, only to find herself in this miseroble stote while he could eosily wolk owoy?
She suddenly felt wronged. A strong sourness welled up in her heort ond even her nose

look for her ond he reolly did whot she soid by not looking for her for two months!
Even when they sot together ot the some toble, he still didn't soy o word nor give o
glonce.

blocked her in the corridor two months ogo ond mode her believe he would hondle
everything properly.
