N looked down and said slowly, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to check on how things are going since you didn’te backst night.”
There was a brief pause on the other end before Damon’s deep voice came through. “I’m almost done with everything. I’ll be back tonight.”
N subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone. “Alright, then let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll see you then,” Damon replied.
After ending the call, Damon looked at the woman sitting across from him with tears in her eyes. He said coldly, “Reba, it’s over between us. I’ll book a flight for you shortly.”
Reba paused <b>in </b>wiping her tears and looked up at Damon. “I don’t want to leave! I wasn’t nning to leave when I came back to the country.”
Damon’s frown deepened, and his entire demeanor turned cold. “Do as you wish, but we’re done.”
“If you didn’t care about me, you wouldn’t havee to see mest night. You still love me, don’t you?” Reba asked<b>, </b>her eyes filled with love and regret as she looked at Damon.
She believed that if she hadn’t insisted on going abroad, she wouldn’t have separated from him and that woman wouldn’t have had a chance.
Now that she had what she wanted, she intended to win Damon back. N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
“I camest night just to make sure you wouldn’t harm yourself. We once loved each other, but the moment you said we should break up, it was over,” Damon exined.
“No!” Reba cried as she threw herself into Damon’s arms, choking on her sobs. “We <b>never </b>truly ended. I just wanted to be a better person, someone worthy of you. You knew that too. And when I asked you to wait, you didn’t refuse, did you<b>?</b>”
Damon pushed her away, his expression cold. “It’s all in the past.”
With that, he <b>turned </b>and walked away.
Reba jumped up and ran after him, wrapping her arms around his waist and crying out, “Damon, don’t go!”
Damon looked down at the arms wrapped around his waist, his emotions churning.
Just as he was about to push Reba away, her next words stopped him in his tracks.
In the evening. N returned to the vi and was surprised to find that Damon still hadn’te back. She was about to call him but hesitated, recalling that he had said he’d be back tonight.
In the end, she put her phone down.
A maid approached and said, “Ms. Jayston, dinner is ready.”
N nodded. “Alright, Damon will be back tonight. We’ll wait for him to have dinner.”
“Understood,” the maid replied.
They waited until after <b>8:00 </b>p.m.
N’s phone suddenly vibrated, and her eyes lit up. She quickly picked it up, but her excitement faded when she saw that the caller wasn’t Damon.
As soon as she answered, Vrie’s voice came through. “N, I saw Damon tonight. He was having dinner at a couple’s restaurant with another woman.”
N’s heart sank. She bit her lip. “Are you sure you didn’t mistake someone else for him?”
Vrie sighed. “I took a photo. I’ll <b>send </b>it to you shortly. Once you see it, you’ll know for sure if it was him.”
After hanging up, Vrie quickly sent the photo.
N’s hands trembled as she opened it.
She recognized Damon in the picture, <b>and </b><b>her </b>knuckles turned white from gripping the phone. She could no longer deceive herself.
The unease she had felt after he left the night before had solidified into a harsh reality. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, and her breathing grew heavier.
