Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3667

Carson stared at the tears shimmering in her eyes. His pupils contracted, and a heavy ache spread through his chest. "I'm sorry."

It was what he had been desperate to tell her.

Marina let out a self-deprecating laugh and shook her head. "No need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, I just lost my mind for a second. Now let go of me."

"I'll never do it again. Can't you trust me one more time?" His gaze was painfully earnest.

Marina shook her head. "We never had a foundation of trust to begin with. It took everything to build a tiny bit of it, and it was destroyed instantly. There are no second chances."

Carson held her gaze. "What if we love each other? Is it still impossible?"

Marina looked at him. "Do you want to know why I'd rather let you misunderstand and torture me than explain why I wanted to break up? Because I was terrified of exactly this. I was terrified you'd come explain yourself, apologize, and refuse to let me go!"

From the exact second she saw him holding Giselle, they were over. She didn't want him trying to fix it in any capacity.

She hadn't told him the real reason because she knew that telling him would give him the opportunity to explain and beg for forgiveness. And if she gave him that chance, she would never forgive herself!

It felt like needles were stabbing Carson's heart. "Are you really this ruthless?"

Marina's voice was hoarse. "Honestly? I did like you a little bit before, but it was nowhere near love. And now, I don't feel a single thing for you."

Carson's grip on her hand tightened. He let out a harsh scoff. "So that was your 'like'? Seems pretty cheap."

Marina laughed bitterly. "Actually, I'm just grateful I didn't fall too deep."

Carson's eyes darkened profoundly. His lips pressed into a thin line, and he gave a slow, clipped nod. "Alright. I understand. If that's how it is, let's part on good terms. The holidays are coming up, and I don't want to stress my grandfather out. After the New Year, we'll find a good time to publicly announce the cancellation, and we'll be done completely."

Marina lowered her eyes, her face blank. She nodded. "Fine."
