“Yes, I’m tired, so our relationship is over!” he said.
‘It’s too tiring. If loving someone is so physically and mentally tiring, so insecure, and so uneasy, then I’d rather not love at all.
‘If Brian will always have a place in her heart, I’d rather not have the rest!’
When his father died in front of his eyes, he vowed to never be like his father-
losing his life for a woman who betrayed him.
Not before, and not in the future!
Grace stood up almost stiffly. Although he was right in front of her, why did she feel so far away?
Last night, he was so intimate to her, and she had felt so happy, yet now… It was like a great irony.
‘He’s breaking up with me just because he’s tired? Then what does our relationship mean to him? Has he only seen it as a game the entire time? However, the difference is that I’ve trapped myself in it!
“What if… I don’t want to break up?”
Her dignity shattered when she was imprisoned. After being released from prison, he helped her piece together the dignity she had lost little by little.
Now, she said it with her broken dignity.
‘I… love him! I don’t want to give up just like that. I want to try one last time!’
“I don’t want to love you anymore,” he said in a very indifferent voice. Then, he turned away and walked out of the kitchen as if without a trace of nostalgia.
She was left alone, standing still in the same spot.
The cold penetrated through her body. It was July, but she was cold as hell.
She thought she had found the person she could grow old with, but she did not expect that no matter how strong the feelings originally were, breaking up was so simple.
All you needed was just one sentence.
He did not want to love her anymore, so he was going to do just that.
However, she was ridiculously stuck!
What was she to him?
The oaths and promises he once said were still ringing in her ear, but looking back now, it was so ridiculous!
She was still holding the small silver bracelet in her hand.
She had not told him that he did not need to hide the bracelet, because even though she had recovered her memory, she never intended to tell Brian the truth.
She only intended to keep that part of her childhood forever in her memory.
She had made the choice only to give him more security, not to upset him.
However, these explanations seemed to

She only intended to keep that part of her childhood forever in her memory.
She had made the choice only to give him more security, not to upset him.
However, these explanations seemed to have become meaningless when he mentioned the words ‘break up’!
Grace looked bitterly at the small silver bracelet in her hand, then turned her head and looked at the unfinished cake on the kitchen counter.
She remembered that he had said he would only make cakes for one person in his life.
‘He was so gentle and so sweet…
‘My nose feels so sore. I want to cry, I want to let off some steam, but…’ She raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes.
The corners of her eyes were still dry!
‘Now I can’t even cry?’
Maybe some people in this world were doomed to never receive love.
She fell in love with Jason despite suffering the terrible experience of being dumped by Sean Stevens!
She and he were two worlds apart.
If she had not taken him home that night, then there was no way they could have crossed paths.
At the end of the day, it was she who had provoked him in the first place and became the subject of a game in the end. Now… it was just making her realize who she was once again.
Step by step, Grace walked out of the kitchen. Reed Residence was surprisingly quiet right now. It was so quiet that she could not even see the servants.
‘However, it’s fine. At least… it’ll save me a lot of embarra**ment.’
She seemed to have used up all her strength when she finally returned to her bedroom.
Her mood was completely different from when she left earlier!
She walked up to the dressing mirror and murmured to the woman in the mirror,
“It’s just… back to square one.”
The makeup on the face of the woman in the mirror was not ruined. She wore a white dress that made her look unusually pale against her comely face, and her almond-shaped eyes were thick with self-mockery and repressed bitterness.
“I’m just back to when I was alone, like when I first got out of jail.
“I just have to live alone and work hard on my own. Even if I have to live at the bottom of the social hierarchy, I have to struggle to survive.
“There’s… nothing to be afraid of. I’ve experienced this before, haven’t I?”
Grace said to herself. Then, she stood up, opened the wardrobe, and put on the clothes she had taken from the rental house.
She was glad she had not thrown these away. At least she could leave with her things and not owe him anything.
She folded the clothes she changed out of neatly and tidied up the room.
She had brought very little with her after surrendering the rental house. Later, when he bought the house she had lived in before, she kept some of the things that contained her memories in that house into a box and brought it over.
Now, all her belongings were in one large and one small suitcases.
Grace then put the bank cards and jewelry that Jason had given her as well as the title deed to her old house on her dressing table.
As far as she was concerned, they had never really belonged to her.
“That’s it. Maybe I’ll just leave like this. It’s the best ending for me!” she said to herself, but just as she was about to leave the room, she paused in her steps. After a moment’s hesitation, she pushed open the door which connected the two bedrooms and entered his room.
With the photo album still on the cabinet, Grace went forward, turned to the last page of the photo album, and pulled out the photo of her in the floral dress.
Since they had broken up, this photo would no longer hold any meaning to him, so she might as well take it back and save the photo from being thrown into a garbage can.
Grace then went back to her bedroom, dragged her two pieces of luggage, and looked around the room.
There were so many memories of her and him in the room. It was as if his scent was still in the air.
However… that man would probably have nothing to do with her again.
His game with her ended here!
On her 28th birthday, she realized God’s cruelty to her was far deeper than she had imagined!
Her slender body dragged her two suitcases behind her as she descended the stairs with some difficulty. Finally, on her way out of the main house, she met
Reed Residence’s butler.
The butler was surprised to see Grace dressed in plain old clothes, looking like she was leaving as she dragged her suitcases.
“Miss Cummins, where are you going?”
“I’m moving out. Jason and I have broken up, so there’s no reason for me to stay here,” said Grace.
‘What?’
The butler looked surprised. ‘Broke up? With Young Master Reed?
