Chapter 732 Give Me a Chance, Please
"Leaving?" Ronnie was startled, but he had vaguely guessed she would make this decision.
What she had said to him earlier sounded very much like a farewell.
His heart ached, filled with reluctance. "Why?"
"No special reason, just want a change of environment." She answered nonchalantly.
"A change of environment, one without Anthony? In the end, it's all because of him. Every decision you make is for him."
After saying harsh words, he still ran over here, looking so ridiculous and ironic.
In front of her, he had no dignity, like a joke.
"If you really let him go, you wouldn't be avoiding him. Don't you understand? This isn't about the environment; it's about your heart."
He pointed at her heart, "If your heart still thinks of him, then no matter where you go, you'll still miss him and won't be able to let go."
"Is it fun to deceive yourself like this? Do you think a few thousand miles can block anything? If you can't forget him, flying back isn't a big deal."
"Juniper, do you know how ridiculous your foolish actions are?"
She listened indifferently to his angry voice, "Once I leave, I won't come back. I won't see him again. I've already decided on this."
"You decided? You decided to give up on Anthony a long time ago, but aren't you still in this miserable state? You've been deceiving yourself all along."
"Say whatever you want." Juniper was truly tired of listening, her heart aching and exhausted.
"Stay."
"If you really want to forget him, then stay."
"When you can face him without any feelings, that's when you've truly forgotten, not by escaping abroad." Ronnie looked into her eyes seriously.
"I've already decided, don't say anymore, it won't change." Her voice was low but firm, "You should go back."
He suddenly grabbed her wrist, Juniper flinched, looking at him like a startled deer, "Can I ask you to stay for me?"
Ronnie knew he was being pathetic, and she certainly wouldn't stay for him, but he couldn't help it.
"Please, stay for me!"
"Can we start over? Juniper? Like you said, start as friends and slowly develop feelings. I'll be good to you, I'll be faithful, I won't go to those places anymore, I'll be with you every day."
"Whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you. Whatever you want to eat, I'll eat it with you. Can you give me a chance?"
"Ronnie..." Juniper looked at him.
He held her shoulders, staring into her eyes, "Please, Juniper, give me a chance, okay?"
"Please..."
"I'm sorry." Juniper lowered her head.
"Why are you saying sorry? You won't even give me a chance?" Ronnie roared, "Can't you trust me just once? I would really be good to you, I could give you my whole heart, everything!"
"Can't you see I'm almost driven mad by you? I really love you, Juniper, I love you! It's not just liking, I've fallen in love with you! I don't want you to leave, I want to be with you."
His voice was deafening, striking Juniper's heart hard.
"I'm sorry..." All she could say was this, "I could never like you."
"You won't even try, how do you know you won't like me? Feelings can be cultivated!"
"Not for me, I know my heart well, if I don't like you, I won't like you, I will never like you, Ronnie, we can only be friends."
'Be friends. Is there a more cruel rejection than these two words?' he thought.
Ronnie laughed bitterly, self-mockingly, "Juniper, you're really cruel, really cruel... I've never seen a woman crueler than you."
His eyes were already red, bloodshot.
His heart was shattered into pieces, but he couldn't show it to her.
Juniper felt bad too. But she forced herself, if she wasn't cruel, he would be the one hurt in the end.
"I'll handle things here and then go back to Libertonia, I won't come back, you'll forget me soon."
Ronnie sneered, he didn't want to talk to her at all.
"Ronnie, in life, we all meet people who hurt us. If they can't bring you happiness, then they're not the right person for you, not worth it. Anthony is not worth it for me, so I'm giving up. Similarly, you should give up on me. We'll grow from these experiences, become stronger."
"I don't want to hear your preaching!" Ronnie suddenly kicked over a chair in anger, Juniper flinched, shrinking back.
His eyes were cold and terrifying.
"But you're right, you're not worth it, you're just a coward!"
"You avoid your feelings, and you don't dare to give me a chance. I'm much stronger than you. At least when I like someone, I go for it, but you... you don't dare anything, you only run away."
She smiled bitterly, "You're right, I'm just a runner, not worthy of your affection. There will be a woman more worthy of you in the future, and when you think back, you'll find liking me was just a joke."
"No need to wait for the future, I already find it ridiculous that I liked you." Ronnie shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm clear-headed now, I won't come looking for you again, won't humiliate myself."
"Good, that's for the best."
In the end, they couldn't even be friends.
In the end, she would leave with his hatred.
How can people who truly loved each other become friends?
In the room, the phone rang.
"I'll take the call, won't see you out." She calmly went back to the room and closed the door.
He was right, she was a coward, she didn't dare to watch him leave.
Ronnie smiled desolately.
The doorbell rang.
He immediately guessed who it was, his eyes turned cold, and he walked over to open the door.
Outside was Anthony, looking eager. Seeing Ronnie, his eagerness froze, stunned.
Ronnie smiled mockingly, "What, surprised to see me at my girlfriend's place? We're living together, didn't you know?"
They were living together?
Since she said she liked him last time, Anthony had been denying their relationship in his heart, thinking maybe she was just acting to provoke him.
But this scene in front of him was undeniable.
He wanted to look for clues in the living room, but Ronnie closed the door, not letting him see, "Did I invite you to tour our home?"
"Isn't it inappropriate for you to come looking for my girlfriend so late, Mr. Eilish?"
"Is Juniper home? I have something to say to her."
