Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1712

However, Jared never reciprocated her love despite her many confessions. She had given up now and would never bother Jared again.

Cynthia stared strangely at Jared. What was he doing here?

Jared's gaze was like a knife that could penetrate one's heart, staring straight at her. She genuinely looked ordinary. If she were half as good-looking as that woman, he would gladly accept her.

Sadly...

She wouldn't even get the chance.

Jared looked at her for a while and said, "You got back with Xanthus?"

Stumped, Cynthia was baffled at his words.

"No, why?"

She wasn't afraid he would get the wrong idea. She no longer cared when her confessions led her love nowhere.

She never took her love life too seriously. Having a partner or not, she'd still have to live her life, wouldn't she?

But Jared's sudden question stumped her.

"Since you've broken up with him and have no intention of getting back together, why drag him into your businesses? You could've asked anyone else for help; no need to torment him. Xanthus is madly in love with you. Since you can't give him anything in return, why hold him back? Don't you think you're being cruel?"

Cynthia didn't know what to say for a moment.

She realized then he had come to scorn her.

She chuckled under her breath, saying, "Got it."

With a mocking sneer, Jared walked out as he said, "I don't understand why Xanthus would like you even with that face and that problematic personality."

Cynthia's heart sank as he exited and closed the door.

Jared's harshness was one she had never seen before, even harsher than Santiago. Hence, no matter how she could never have him.

Perhaps it was because she could never have him that she thought it was even more precious.

Cynthia stared at the door until she heard Xanthus returning to the ward and closed her eyes.

She opened her eyes when Xanthus put the things down.

Xanthus's heart ached when he saw her red and swollen eyes. However, he still smiled after entering the room. He walked up to her and asked if she wanted to get up and eat something.

"I'm not hungry; you go ahead." Cynthia really wasn't hungry, so she didn't want to eat.

Xanthus put his things down and sat beside her. "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Cynthia shook her head and said, "No, I'm good. It's all thanks to you."

"Good. Stay for observation for a while. It's good if there's nothing else."

"Xanthus." Cynthia looked at Xanthus and spoke with great difficulty, but he only hummed in response.

"You are the nicest person I've ever met."

"A guy in the friend zone will never have a chance with the girl he likes. It's usually a no when the girl says she'll think about it."

Xanthus said jokingly. Cynthia was caught off guard and felt a little uncomfortable.

After a long pause, she said, "Someone like you will definitely be blessed."

"No need to feel guilty. I never even considered what would be my ideal outcome before I liked you. Falling in love is falling in love. Simple. If it is a love based on purpose, it is not love, but a purpose."

Xanthus smiled and said, "Cynthia, I liked you and loved you. Although it means the world to me to have you, losing you wouldn't change a thing."

"What I want ultimately is happiness."
