True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1508

"Looks like it can't be helped then. I expected that you wouldn't want to be friends with me." Janice laughed at herself. "Alright then. I won't bother you in the future, Lowell neither."

"You really shouldn't bother anyone else. I have myself to blame for all those previous attempts you had towards me. I was foolish to have been blinded by your tricks. As for Lowell, you took advantage of his sincerity."

Gary stood up after giving her a piece of his mind. He hadn't touched the coffee on the table. Instead, he placed his money on the counter, paid the bill, and left.

Janice watched his tall figure walk away from the cafe. Droplet of tears fell from her eyes. She pitied herself for the hopeless love she had for Gary.

Upon returning to his apartment, Gary opened the door and expected to be greeted by Lowell.

It looked like he had just got out of the bathroom. His hands were damp. As always, the typical Lowell had a gentle and harmless smile on his face.

Gary stared at him and wondered if Lowell knew what Janice was thinking.

He assumed that Lowell would also be very sad.

Lowell greeted him with a smile, "Hey, you're back. What would you like to eat? I'll cook something for you."

Gary glanced at him and shook his head. He said, "Lowell, please stop harboring feelings for Janice. She's not suitable for you. You deserve to be with someone better."

Lowell laughed. "Did Janice finally reveal her cards to you?"

Gary frowned and glared at him. "Lowell, have you always known that Janice was interested in me?"

"Right on." Lowell nodded. "I knew that Janice had some feelings towards you all this time. I wonder why you didn't notice, though."

"D*mn it!" Gary was enraged. "If you knew that she had feelings for me, why didn't you warn me? It made me look like a fool."

"I thought you were smart. Ever since you were a kid, there wasn't anything you couldn't debunk. You had a talent for calculating every single move. Why couldn't you see through Janice?" Lowell asked quietly.

These words caused Gary to twitch his lips in defeat. "Serves me right, I suppose."

"In fact, you may not have realized that you're treating Janice differently. Like you're hovering in that space between lovers and friends. I assumed that maybe Celeste's introverted personality bored you, while Janice and her sassy personality made you treat her differently."

"Bollocks to that. The reason why I treated her differently was that I thought you liked her. She could have been your future partner. However, the last thing I expected was for you to view me in such a manner." Gary was in such a terrible mood. "Alright, I deserve it. I won't bother myself with the person you choose to be with in the future.

Gary was a little emotional. After he finished speaking, he walked towards his room. He then slammed the door shut.

Behind him, Lowell sighed as he stared at Gary's move away. He then walked over and spoke to Gary through the door, "Truthfully, I knew from the start that Janice's feelings towards you were different. I've also wondered about how long she had those feelings for you. She might have changed her mind or started paying attention to me. But reality has proven otherwise. I admit that I liked her cheerful personality, but in the end, it all comes to whether she has feelings for me or not.

I was quick to realize that we couldn't be together. I won't have any sort of contact with Janice in the

future, and it's likely that we won't be friends anymore. You don't have to put up with Janice because of me."

The door suddenly swung open.

Gary's cold, stern face appeared before Lowell's eyes.

Lowell was slightly amused, but he smiled gently. "Don't be angry. I'm sincerely apologizing to you."

However, Gary felt that there was no need for an apology. What was the point of one?

Now that things had come to this point, he truly felt that he deserved it. He deserved all this catastrophe.

This was a heavy blow to his ego.

"I don't need your apology, it has nothing to do with you." He understood that others had contributed to this whole mess, but in the end, he only had himself to blame.

He was still rational. If only he had been smart enough, or sensible enough, things would have been different.
