Nathaniel turned to Reba in disbelief, gritting his teeth. “Reba, what does Damon mean by this?”


    Reba shook her head, tears streaming down her fade, but she refused to speak.


    At that moment, Nathaniel understood everything.


    Despite being with him, Reba had still been seeking opportunities to be with Damon. The realization made him feel foolish for wanting to stay with her.


    He chuckled bitterly, his expression growing cold. “Since you still have feelings for Damon, let’s break up.


    For years, he had silently loved Reba, but her attention always seemed to be on Damon, never on him. No matter how deeply he loved her, herck of response over time had worn him down.


    Reba was stunned, panic shing in her eyes. She reached out to grab Nathaniel, but he avoided her touch.


    Without looking back, he walked away.


    “Nathaniel!” Reba cried, her face turning pale as she hurried to chase after him.


    She stopped him at the vi’s entrance, her eyes filled with regret and guilt. “Nathaniel, I was just confused. It was only when <b>you </b>mentioned breaking up that I realized I’ve been in love with you all along. just didn’t realize it… Please, let’s not break up.”


    Seeing the tears In Reba’s eyes, Nathaniel felt conflicted. After all, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. Even though he had decided to break up earlier, seeing her distressed now made his


    heart ache.


    Reba grew <b>more </b>anxious at Nathaniel’s silence. She grabbed his hand, her voice choked with emotion, “Nathaniel, I truly understand my mistake. Please give me onest chance. I promise I’ll be with you properly from now on.”


    Nathaniel was silent for a moment before <b>gently </b>pulling his hand away from hers.


    “Reba, I’ve been disappointed too many times. Since you love Damon, I should let go,” he said and walked past her.


    As soon as he got into the car, Reba threw herself against the window, pounding on it.


    “Nathaniel, don’t go! Let’s talk… Please, I really do love you now…” she cried, her tears visible on the car’s


    window.


    Nathaniel used to be heartbroken even at the sight of her frown, but now, seeing her cry, he remained Indifferent.


    The driver hesitated, “Mr. Preston…”


    “Drive,” Nathanielmanded.


    “But Ms. Austen is still…” the driver protested.


    “I told you to drive. Do you not understand<b>?</b>” Nathaniel snapped.

    The driver quickly averted his gaze and started the car, intimidated by Nathaniel’s icy stare.


    As the car moved forward, Reba was knocked to the ground by the motion. She appeared to feel no pain as she scrambled to her feet, trying to chase after the car. She knew that if Nathaniel abandoned her, she would be left with nothing.


    From the rearview mirror, the driver saw Reba limping after the car. He said quietly, “Mr. Preston, Ms. Austen seems to be chasing the car. She fell when the car started, and it looked quite serious…”


    Nathaniel’s expression softened slightly, but he still fought the urge to look back. Coldly, he replied, “What happens to her is none of my concern.”


    The temperature inside the car felt like an icebox. Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The driver dared not speak further and continued driving in silence.


    Soon, Reba’s figure was left far behind, a tiny ck dot in the distance.


    Desperately watching Nathaniel’s car drive away, Reba copsed to the ground and broke down, sobbing uncontrobly.
