Chapter 72
I shook my head, unwilling to ask for the reason. Kaleb held onto my wrist, and we wood there, locked in x stalemate. Feeling helpless, I expressed my thoughts, “I know you’re not the kind of person who would make boring jokes. There must be a compelling reason for changing your mind about the morning promise in the evening. I asked, but it couldn’t change the outcome. Why force it? Why pure i
Kaleb chuckled, “Katrina, it was really easy to live with a woman like you, with your personality?
I didn’t think these were kind words; instead, I felt heartbroken.“Is this the reason you don’t love me but will wan to marry me?”
In that moment, the smile at the corner of Kaleb’s mouth gradually disappeared, the light in his eyes grew dom, and the fingertips that held my wrist loosened slightly, finally letting go of me. I couldn’t see through his reaction, perhaps because the truth had been touched upon.
I placed the contract on the sofa and said lightly, “Goodnight.”
The words had just fallen. Kaleb couldn’t wait to speak, and his tone was particularly sincere and serious Karina, could you develop a drug that allows selective amnesia?
I sensed the hidden meaning; my heart trembled, and a brief dull pain passed through, making my emotions even more downcast.“No, I can’t.”
Kaleb pursed his lips with bitterness. My nose felt sour, and my heart ached faintly. Do you have someone in your heart that you want to forget, but can’t?”
“Sure.” Kaleb replied, turning and walking towards the room, his back exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.
What happened? He finally admitted it. My eyes were filled with tears, and waves of pain surged through me. Which woman exactly occupied his heart, making him unable to let go until now? Doting on Annalise, loving the female celebrity, there was actually a lingering unrequited love hidden in his heart. What was I then? I seemed to have found my place. I was just a wife who solved the marriage problem in front of her elders, but was also very independent and worry–free.
I turned around, gently covering my face with both hands, pressing my fingertips against the tears at the corners of my eyes. I took a long, painful breath and then proceeded to tidy up my documents before entering the room. The focus of my life has never been love and marriage. But who doesn’t hope to have a sincere love in their life?
There is no dead end in life. In just two weeks, the new drug trial I conducted achieved significant results. I took the latest data and ran to Giana’s office, smiling and saying, “Giana, it worked! The new project experiment was successful. As long as we submit the report, the country will definitely support us wholeheartedly, and the funding issue will be completely resolved.”
