Hannah regarded him with sarcasm.


    “Then why persist in trailing me today? Let’s clear the air.


    I detest ambiguous rtionships.


    ”


    Bryson’s voice resonated with a somber tone.


    “You know there’s nothing between Melina and me.


    ”


    “Did I inquire about that?”


    Hannah’s gaze turned icy.


    “I don’t need you to justify your rtionships to me.


    That’s your business.


    What concerns me is your stance towards me now.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    I detest murky, undefined connections.


    You know that.


    ”


    This was uncharacteristic of Hannah, but the gravity of the situation demanded rity.


    “If not for this, I wouldn’t have decisively severed ties with the Edwards family.


    ”


    Bryson found himself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, rendered speechless by the weight of the moment.


    As he remained silent, a twinge of disappointment crept over Hannah.


    “If you’ve been wanting to end things, you could’ve done so with dignity,” she expressed, her frustration palpable.


    “I wouldn’t have pressed you.


    Your lukewarm demeanor only serves to irritate me.


    I’m not particrly skilled at handling emotional turmoil.


    When confronted with an insurmountable issue, I prefer to swiftly sever ties.


    ”


    Her words hung in the air, and Bryson regarded her with a furrowed brow, detecting the underlying resentment in her eyes.


    “Do you truly cherish our rtionship? How could you discard it so easily?”


    Hannah’s anger red.


    She no longer wished to conclude things amicably.


    “Must I emte your lukewarm approach and remain silent when I sense something amiss in


    our rtionship? Does that solve anything? I value what we have, but have you ever respected it? You withhold your thoughts and feelings, leaving me in the dark.


    Is that how you treat me?”


    “It’s because…” Bryson hesitated, his voice faltering.


    “Because I can’t articte it.


    ”


    Hannah’s anger red, fueled by Bryson’s inability tomunicate.


    Fury surged through Hannah, contorting her smile into a grimace of resentment.


    “Fine.


    If you can’t tell me, then don’t ever bother.


    ”


    Damn, Bryson! Damn, Bryson!


    The curse echoed in Hannah’s mind as she stormed away, leaving Bryson in her wake.


    Sensing his impending pursuit, she whirled around, jabbing a finger in his direction.


    “Try following me again.


    ”


    Though Bryson could easily ignore hermand and trail after her, he chose instead to heed her unspoken plea, and opted for silence, unwilling to further upset her.


    As he watched her retreating form, his fists clenched in frustration.


    Just days ago, he had convinced himself to maintain a semnce ofposure.


    Yet, upon encountering Hannah, all his carefully constructed defenses crumbled.


    Deep within, he acknowledged his inability to part ways with her, let alone lose her.


    Humans were indeed fickle creatures.


    After pushing someone away, they often found themselves consumed with regret.
