Chapter 805 A Complete Breakup
Brice had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, but he was still handsome.
A lot of girls surrounded him, all eagerly awaiting the appearance of the beautiful leading lady.
She had to be a stunning beauty for them to be convinced.
Soon, the leading lady appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Juniper jogged out.
Everyone was amazed; she truly was a beauty. Her looks made even other women feel inferior, and they were instantly convinced.
As soon as Brice saw her, he immediately knelt on one knee and presented a ring. "Juniper, marry me."
"Wow, a proposal."
"So romantic."
"They're such a perfect match."
"He's so handsome."
"I'm so jealous."
"You, you get up," Juniper said hurriedly.
"I won't get up unless you agree to marry me."
"Don't be so stubborn..."
"I'm not being stubborn. I've been planning to propose to you for a long time. I've always wanted to marry you, and you know that."
Juniper knew, but that was before that incident.
She was glad he hadn't proposed earlier; otherwise, she would have felt even more guilty.
"Marry him, marry him!"
"Say yes!" The crowd clapped and cheered, making Juniper feel even more troubled.
"Don't do this. We're already over."
"We're not over. We can start again, beginning with an engagement," Brice said quickly.
"It's impossible. That incident..."
"I can forget it," Brice said hurriedly. "We can both pretend it never happened."
"You can't do that," Juniper shook her head.
"No, I can. I definitely can! I swear!" Brice said earnestly.
Juniper shook her head again. "Even if you can do it, I can't pretend nothing happened and continue being with you."
"Why? Life is so long. Can't we just forget?"
"I can't forget, and actually, neither can you. You're just being impulsive and unwilling to let go."
Brice quickly stood up. "No, I'm not! I love you too much. I can't live without you."
"Juniper, marry me!" He hugged her tightly with all his strength.
"Wow! She said yes!"
The crowd thought Juniper had agreed and clapped happily.
This "romantic and happy" scene was witnessed by Anthony from a nearby RV.
Ever since he knew she had returned to MG Company, he would push aside any important work near the end of the day to circle around her company building.
He hoped to see her.
Even if he couldn't, he would quietly look at her office window, imagining her working hard.
He wanted to call her but didn't dare. He kept waiting for her call, but it never came.
He didn't expect to see this scene today.
Brice proposed, and she agreed? It seemed so, with all the blessings around.
Should he also wish her happiness?
Could she really pretend nothing had happened and continue with Brice, even get married?
A part of Anthony's heart felt like it was being torn apart. He didn't want to watch anymore. "Drive."
Juniper pulled Brice into a restaurant.
"I'll put the ring on you," Brice reached for her hand, but Juniper quickly pulled it back as if shocked.
"Juniper?"
"I won't accept your proposal. I won't get back together with you. Give up."
"Haven't I already said I would forget?" Brice said anxiously.
"You can't forget, and neither can I. We can't pretend nothing happened. Stop deceiving yourself. You know you can't not care."
Brice's eyes darkened. "I know it's hard, but I'll try. Because compared to forgetting, I can't lose you."
"I thought we were over, but these past few days, I've been drinking like crazy and still can't forget you. You keep popping into my head, occupying all my thoughts. I'm going crazy thinking about you."
"I've thought it through now. The pain is temporary. The most important thing is that we can be together. Juniper, believe me, time will ease our unhappiness."
"No, Brice, some things can't be eased by time. You say you can forget now, but you'll remember later. You'll hate my betrayal, feel disgusted by me, and then there will be endless arguments. The final result is bound to be a breakup, so it's better to end it now."
"No, I can't live without you!" Brice shouted in pain. "You know how important you are to me. I can't live without you."
"No one can't live without someone else," Juniper smiled faintly.
She had been in pain before, but hadn't she gotten through it?
"Look at me, I'm doing just fine now."
"That's because you don't care! You never loved me!" Brice roared. "I love you, but you don't love me. This is an unequal relationship! That's why you can be so heartless."
"Brice, that incident is the root of our breakup. I can't pretend nothing happened and be with you. I know I can't. You've given me all your heart, and I've been sincere with you. I don't want to lie to you. But you're right, my feelings aren't as deep as yours."
"I like you more every day, but... it's not love yet." Juniper bit her lip. "You can feel it too. You've always been unbalanced, haven't you?"
"This relationship is ending, and I'm also regretful, but we've come to this point, and there's no turning back. I won't get back together with you. I'm sorry for betraying your feelings. I don't deserve this ring. It deserves a better owner."
"Why do you have to be so cruel..." Brice cried. "Why..."
Seeing him cry, Juniper felt very sad and guilty.
But this was actually a good thing because this relationship had always been unequal. She would feel a lot of pressure and force herself to love Brice, making both of them very tired.
True love is natural, not forced.
Her feelings for Brice might always stay at the level of liking, very much liking, very comfortable, but never reaching love.
But her feelings for Anthony were like a fire, quickly igniting and turning into love.
This was true love.
"Brice, all I can say to you is thank you and I'm sorry. I hope if possible... we can be friends. If you think it's not possible, I completely understand. No matter what, I wish you happiness."
Brice's eyes were filled with tears, and he smiled bitterly. "Is there really no chance? Not even a little?"
Juniper didn't answer, and her silence was the answer.
Brice smiled sadly. "I guess there's no need to beg you anymore. You're so heartless, begging you is useless."
"Even though you've hurt me deeply, I don't regret meeting you, loving you, or dating you. This might become the most beautiful yet most complicated memory of my life."
Brice smiled bitterly. "One last hug, Juniper. I also hope a man can make you happy, even if it's not me."
