Windsor Myres looked at his back, stunned.

Her heart tightened.

She didn’t want to break up!

She just wanted him to say he loved her. Was it really that difficult?

But—

Thinking about everything that happened today, panic suddenly set in. It felt like Camden River was serious.

How could that be possible?

A person like him, they had already come this far, everything that should have happened had happened. How could he agree to break up? Camden River didn’t want her anymore?!

Windsor Myres couldn’t believe it. She quickly ran over and hugged Camden River’s waist from behind.

Camden River halted as she held him.

"Let go!" His voice was cold. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Windsor Myres grew more frantic, hurriedly saying, "I was talking nonsense, I didn’t want to break up with you. I love you so much, I just wanted you to say you love me. It’s been so long since you said those words!"

"Let go of me." Camden River spoke softly without turning around.

Windsor Myres held onto him tightly.

Camden River pressed his lips together, lowering his head, his slender fingers gripping hers forcefully, finger by finger, prying them off.

Cold and resolute, his strength hurt her, she could only gasp and let him go.

Camden River continued to walk forward.

Tears welled up in Windsor Myres’ eyes, she whispered, "Camden River."

This call made Camden River pause again, turning slowly to face her with a steady expression, he spoke slowly, "Yes. It’s been a long time since I said love. Do you know why? Windsor Myres, that’s because I couldn’t believe I would fall for a girl like you. No more. Whether it’s your manipulative tricks or your passionate impulses, go use them on other men, I don’t want them anymore, don’t bother me in the future."

"I..."

Before Windsor Myres could speak, he interrupted her directly, "And also, if you ever decide to jump off a building again, I won’t care. I truly regret starting anything with you. Really, let’s end it here."

"I won’t jump off a building again." Windsor Myres, tears streaming down her face, said, "You told me to cherish myself."

"Suit yourself."

As Camden River finished speaking, he turned and walked away quickly.

He held it in to the extreme, seemingly angry to the extreme, finally venting it all out, feeling a cathartic release.

No wonder Windsor Myres was always so unabashed. This feeling was really good, no need to feel guilty, no need to be accommodating, no need to endure, no need to suppress all emotions inside, just say whatever you want, do as you please, no fear of the other getting hurt.

What knife-like words and tofu-heart, what bluntly straightforwardness, what candid and true personality, it’s all bullshit.

If there was even a slightest bit of heartache or guilt, many words wouldn’t come out no matter what.

Break up?

Go find a girl who can bring him pride?

What a joke.

For such a girl, can she even understand the meaning of fidelity and decency?

Forcing kisses, seducing, catering, scheming, those endless tricks and tactics, one after another, used on him, to this day, he hardly recognizes himself.

Windsor Myres, truly his disaster.

Fireworks or flames, those fleeting empty sensations, he doesn’t want any of it for the rest of his life.

So irritating, not just irritating, but repulsive.

He can’t imagine the day he brings her home, nor can he imagine if they were to wed and have children, what kind of mother Windsor Myres would be to his children.

Professor Lee’s words were right, true love is the resonance of souls, girls like Windsor Myres, mere shells in mundane worlds, does she even have a soul?
