Chapter 1355 Falling in Love Again (IX)

• “Yasmin, I’m not blaming you at all. If anything, I can only blame myself for not giving you happiness. I let you leave for faraway places, and in the end you still had to grind through this kind of hardship. So now, I’m starting to feel it doesn’t matter who hands you happiness. Compared to you staying with me, swallowing the bitterness just to hang on, I’d rather you be happy—even if that means being with someone else.” Chadwick Fullner pictured Madison Sawyer leaning on Kiki’s shoulder, smiling bright and blissful, and pain stabbed his chest like a knife.
• Chadwick Fullner spoke slowly, blank-faced. “I won’t go looking for her. It’s not that I don’t understand her—when she decides on something, no one can change it. Like back then, she was dead set on being with me, and not even the whole world could stop her. And once she really gives up, it’s the same—the whole world couldn’t hold her back. And Yasmin, the truth is we’ve all been hurting. Not just you, not just me, her too… I know if we meet, it might soften her up, make her think of the love we had. But whether there’s any chance to start over or not, why make her suffer one more time? What’s the point?”
• “Maybe you think I’m selfish and cowardly, that I don’t have the guts to chase love. Honestly, back then with you, wasn’t I the same? But Yasmin, you know the road I’ve walked—failed love, setback after setback. I sometimes don’t have the courage. I doubt myself. I wonder if I’m cursed to bring bad luck to anyone I love.” He tried to stay calm, but inside the pain surged like a flood. “I really don’t want to see anyone get hurt because of me ever again.”
