Chapter 31 It Was Never My Idea

• ‘Jameson stole the ring and took the liberty of proposing to you with it. That was never my idea.’ After a long deliberation, Pierre finally made up his mind to send Meredith the message. Although his frankness would definitely break the lady’s heart in a cruel way, he still figured that telling her the truth was the better way to deal with this mess since he knew he was a terrible liar.
• The man then continued to sit in his car and smoked while brooding on the matter in a preoccupied manner. Meredith has always replied to my every message almost instantaneously, even though I have never done the same in return. However, she seems to be taking longer than usual to reply to my text this time.
• Even after waiting for a long while, she still hadn’t replied. Well, maybe she feels awkward and thinks it’s better not to bring it up. So, that’s probably not a bad thing for both of us either. At the thought of that, Pierre tossed the cigarette butt out of the car window and drove off.
