But I also didn't want to be labeled as unreasonable.
So, I made it clear.
Everett disagreed, frowned and said coldly, "Since we couldn't dine together today, I'll make it up tomorrow. As for the ring, it's just an ordinary piece of jewelry. Why do you care so much about it?"
"If you want, I'll buy you a few more tomorrow."
He always simplified all my concerns.
To him, anything resolvable with money was insignificant.
I sneered, "That won't be necessary. Buy them for whoever you fancy."
I had already thought about breaking up when I came back.
It would be meaningless to continue like this.
Everett couldn't understand my thoughts.
He said coldly, "You're not very composed today. Let's talk again when you've calmed down."
Without waiting for my response, he turned and left the house.
I stood there in silence. The surroundings were so quiet that it made me feel uneasy.
I had expected him to agree swiftly.
But he chose to avoid the breakup in this way.
I suddenly felt a little sick.
He had someone he couldn't let go of, so why did he cling to me and make everyone unhappy?
I took a moment to calm myself down.
Breaking up wasn't a unilateral decision. It required mutual agreement.
