No engagement, no problem.
She had already braced herself for Elijah to break up with her, to let her go. Even if Elijah couldn't give her love, he'd surely pay her a hefty sum. Bagging some cash wouldn't be a total loss.
The Rolls-Royce parked outside the front door.
Grace quickly said to Sarah, "Elijah's back! I'll make sure he gives you an explanation!"
Sarah remained seated on the sofa, not getting up.
Her heart was shattered by him! How could he tell her he's in love with Violette on their engagement day?
He not only didn't love her, he didn't respect her either.
And this was all considering she was Makayla's doctor and had performed two surgeries on Makayla.
Without this connection, he probably wouldn't care about her at all.
Elijah got out of the car and strode towards the living room.
"Mom." He spoke to his mother.
"Elijah, are you okay?" Grace examined him from head to toe, holding his arm.
"I'm fine." He helped his mother into the house, then his gaze fell on Sarah, who looked cold and detached.
"You two talk it out!" Grace said, "Elijah, no matter what, Sarah's been good to us, and you owe her an explanation."
Elijah nodded. Soon, it was just him and Sarah in the living room.
"Sarah, I'm sorry." Elijah stood by the coffee table, telling her his decision, "I can't force myself to be with you."
"I see." Sarah responded blankly.
