Chapter 462
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Renee pressed her hand against her forehead. She felt exhausted on the inside. âI think you shouldnât be asking this,â she said in a defeated tone.
From her perspective, Liam was the person who understood her more than anyone in the world. Why would he make her choose at such a critical juncture?
Liamâs bright, charming eyes gradually dimmed as he lost hope.
He began to murmur in a self-deprecating way. âAlright, Boss. You donât have to answer my question. I already know the answer.â
âLiam, donât do this. You know exactly how I feel. Youâreâ¦â Renee trailed off.
âJust let it be!â Liam suppressed his hurt feelings and forced a smile upon his face. He then looked deeply at Renee. âFrom this moment on, Iâm no longer your fiance. Weâll be like siblings. Iâll still do whatever I can to help you, but Iâll no longer tie you down. You can live freely and choose the man you truly want to be with.â
Every word he said felt like a piece of himself getting stripped away.
But what could he do about it?
Nothing good would come out of a forced relationship. Although he and Renee had tried their best to be together, neither was happy.
Letting go was the only thing he could do for her!
âLiam, what do you mean by all this? Are you breaking up with me? Are you giving up on this relationship?â Renee was getting a little anxious. She grabbed him by his arm. âI spoke too hastily and didnât consider your feelings. I realize I was wrong⦠I wonât choose anyone else but you. Donât be mad, and donât give up on me. Please?â
She sounded a little too humble when she said this, but every word she said came from the bottom of her heart.
To her, Liam was like a pillar of hope that had always supported her and continued to support her until now.
If he left, she honestly wouldnât know how to carry on through the darkness aheadâ¦
Liam was a little teary-eyed. He shook his head and pushed her hand away one finger at a time. âBoss, I know youâll do much better without me. I donât want to hold you back or drag you down. If you choose me tonight, itâll be against your own desire. Youâll regret it afterward and blame yourself for being too emotional and irrational. Thatâs why⦠Iâm willing to be the bad guyâ
After saying that, Liam turned around and left. He seemed determined when he walked away, but tears were already falling from the corner of his eyes.
ââ¦â Renee watched him leave, but she didnât run after him. She fell deep in thought.
The employees around them were all touched by Liamâs heartfelt confession. In fact, some of them were even crying.
âTsk, tsk! Itâs so hard to find a perfect man with a high status these days. He even loves her with all his heart. How touchingâ¦â
Everyone was rooting for this couple!
âMs. Everheart, it looks like youâre still reluctant to let go. Why donât you go after him?â Jovan asked playfully.
âDo you want me to?â Renee calmed herself down and put on a tough act. She smiled ambiguously at Jovan.
âOf course not.â Jovan returned a smile and extended his hand to her.â
Since youâre single now, I wonât miss the opportunity to spend the night with you. Why donât we head out right away? I canât wait to bring you to that special place.â
