"Tell me, why would I lie to you? We’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you know exactly what kind of person I am?"
Yvonne shook her head. "I used to see you clearly. But now, I don’t think I can anymore."
Edwin didn’t understand what she meant.
"I have my own career now, and everything with that man was just work, nothing else."
"If you end up disrupting my life because of this, would you really feel at ease with yourself?"
"What are you planning to do?"
For no clear reason, unease crept into Edwin’s chest.
He felt that if he didn’t hold onto her now, Yvonne would slip further and further away from him.
And if she did, would he still have a chance?
The moment the thought settled, panic began to stir inside him.
"Yvonne, what are you going to do?"
"What? So now you finally think you’re entitled to keep an eye on me? What does my choice got to do with you?"
Yvonne swept her gaze over him with open disdain. To her, Edwin’s behavior was almost laughable.
He hadn’t done anything for her, yet here he was trying to police her life as if he had the right.
Had he started taking himself far too seriously?
In Yvonne’s mind, none of this made sense. She and Edwin didn’t have any kind of relationship, so why did he talk as if he had a claim on her?
And the things he fixated on were strange, misplaced.
If she followed his logic, then at this point, it sounded as if Edwin believed he already had a say in her life.
