Chapter 1197 Two of Us (VI)

• “I came to say goodbye, Chad.” Emily spoke softly. “In my heart, I never truly forgot you. Yasmin says she can’t let go of those green, carefree years on campus, the sweet days for two. Truth is, I never forgot either. Especially these past few years—only after losing it did I miss it more, and bit by bit understand: what I let slip was the love of my life. But because of my own choices, I lost it forever.”
• “Chad, I once really thought about throwing everything aside and competing with Miss Sawyer, trying to call back what we had. But I know the truth: that love had already warped and shattered, ruined by my hand. Nothing I do can fix it. My head keeps telling me: I hurt you once—so I can’t go wreck your happiness again. Still, I never let you go in my heart. Until today, Chad. I’m going to be with Chen Qinghe. I’ll be his wife. Before I marry him, I want to end our story completely. Next time we meet, we’ll just be old friends. I’ll bless you and Miss Sawyer the way you blessed me.”
• Tears shimmered as Emily smiled—and then she did something Chadwick Fullner never expected. She let go of his hand, leaned in, and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug.
