No one could hurt Mark-not even a bit. But the look in Summer’s eyes and a word from her mouth could hurt him dearly..
Her words pierced into his heart like needles. Mark snickered, his voice hoarse. "Since this is what you want, then I will give it to you. But remember, I will no longer be available to you as no one will stay in one place and wait for someone forever."
For the first time, he loved a woman so much that he offered his heart to her, yet she threw it away. He got u p and walked away, his steps not long and quick, as if he still had some expectations.
Summer stared at him from behind, panting heavily, and tears rolled down her cheeks as an uncontrollable sadness consumed her.
Hearing nothing from her, Mark sneered and laughed, and he never looked back.
What else could he expect from her? If she did not want him to leave, she would have spoken just now. What else could he expect?
Leaving the coffee shop meant the end between the two of them. It was a complete end to their relationship.
'I will no longer be available to you as no one will stay i n one place and wait for someone forever.'
As the words he uttered when he left rang in her mind, she burst into tears, her eyes blurred so much that she could not even see the coffee cup in front of her. Every step he took away from her, it stabbed into her heart like a sharp knife until the flesh and blood turned inside out.
She knew he was absolutely serious this time. There was really no relationship between them anymore. They were back to the beginning-back to where they were supposed to be. It was like a rock falling into the water, where there would be ripples at first. But as the rock sank to the bottom of the lake, the water surface would return to normal as if nothing had ever happened.
The waiter walked over and asked if she wanted a refill. Summer shook her head and walked into the ladies' room. She had stopped crying but felt feeble and stared at herself in the mirror.
