Sebastian Brenand never would have thought that Rachel Wood would say such a thing.
In the past few months, Sebastian and Rachel had always been on good terms.
He had given her everything, including money, a car, a house, jewelry, branded bags, and branded clothes.
It could be said that Rachel was the luckiest woman among those who had rich boyfriends.
Sebastian immediately let go of Rachel and sat up with a confused look in his eyes. “Rachel, why are you doing this? Haven’t I given you everything you wanted? Nobody in the entire city of Atlantis has treated their women this well…”
At that moment, Sebastian felt his heart aching very badly.
“Yeah…” Rachel nodded.
“So, why are you doing this?” Sebastian pressed on.
Rachel slowly sat up and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her face was pale.
“This morning, a woman called you on the phone. You told her you would meet her tonight…” Rachel said.
“Yeah… What’s wrong with that?” Sebastian still felt confused.
“If I only think of myself as one of your mistresses, that’s indeed fine. But I’ve fallen in love with you, and I can’t accept you behaving like this any further… I know I shouldn’t fall in love with you. I also know that even if I do, I would have to keep it to myself. I shouldn’t allow myself to care too much, but I can’t do it. Every time I see you with another woman, I feel terrible.
“Every time your phone rings, I’d get worried. I’d feel afraid that some other woman might take you away from me. I don’t want to live like this anymore. Please let me go.
“I know you very well. You want freedom. You’ll never fall in love with anyone. Since you can’t give me the kind of love I want, please let me have my freedom,” Rachel uttered each word seriously as tears streamed down her face.
She felt as if there was a gaping hole in her chest, and her heart was being pulled out of it. Rachel had never felt this much pain in her life.
She used to think that if she continued to stay with Sebastian, he might feel something for her one day. Perhaps, he might one day fall in love with her.
At first, she thought she could wait patiently.
However, in the end, she realized that she couldn’t take it anymore.
The more she loved him, the more she felt hurt when he spent time with other people.
