Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 137

"Happy New Year, Violette," he raised his hand, trying to wipe the tears off her face.

But she stepped back abruptly, her voice cold, "Elijah, I'm leaving."

Before he could react to her words, she had already pulled off the engagement ring from her finger.

"Take this back," she stuffed the ring into the pocket of his coat.

"I like you, but I can't continue like this." She lifted her head, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, "You have photos of her on your computer and your phone. Surely, she's in your heart too. I admit you've been good to me, but you love her more. I won't force you to explain or give her up, because I know it would be in vain.

We're breaking up!" She was not asking for his opinion. She was telling him.

Elijah stood frozen, disbelief in his eyes.

Before she mentioned breaking up, they were seemingly happy.

In the past, she cooked for him every day, held him every night... He thought they would stay in love, till death do them part.

When did she start thinking about breaking up?

He had no idea.

Maybe a few days ago.

Or even earlier than that.

"I'm leaving soon. I've handed over the divorce proceedings to my lawyer. He'll be in touch after the New Year," Violette wiped the tears off her cheeks and stepped back, "Elijah, let's not meet or contact each other in the future. Let's act like we've never known each other."

She clenched her fist, trying hard not to cry.

The first time she saw her photo on his computer, she was just curious. Then she saw the same woman's photo on his phone, it was a gut punch.

His phone had only her pictures.

She had to face this cruel reality, that t

he man she loved had another woman in his heart.

Violette hailed a cab by the roadside.

Before getting in, she couldn't help but look back—

Behind her, there was nothing but the silent, cold wind.

He didn't chase after her.

Just as she said, even if she forced him, he wouldn't reveal anything about that woman, let alone give her up for Violette.

Her tears fell like strings of pearls.
