C113 She Couldn’t Let Him Go

Samantha felt completely different. Her eyes became moist. She couldn’t understand the pain building inside her chest.

She had wanted Mike to move on. She had wanted him to find happiness.

Yet seeing him smiling beside another woman made her feel as though her heart was being torn apart. For years she had convinced herself that she had already lost him.

But now, seeing another woman standing where she once stood, she finally realized she wasn’t ready to let go. The rumors. The photographs. The gossip about Mike having a new girlfriend.

She desperately wished they weren’t true. She wanted to leave. To go somewhere far away. To cry where nobody could see her.

Fortunately, Ben and Samantha had already finished flying their kites. Without another word, they returned to their car and drove away.

Once they were gone, Alicia finally explained herself. “Since she saw those rumors online, she would naturally believe them if I held your hand.”

She smiled proudly. “Women know when it’s time to back off. After today, don’t worry, Big Brother. She won’t bother you anymore.”

Chris was the first to respond. “Younger Sister… you really don’t have any hidden intentions, right?” Alicia laughed. “I did him a favor, so now he owes me one.”

“What?” Both Chris and I exclaimed at the same time. Chris pointed at me. “My brother never asked you to do that.” Alicia smiled mischievously. “Does he need to ask?”

We were left speechless.
