Ribbons Unbound: My Fiancé's Lingering Regret novel Chapter 102

After the party ended, I was surprised to find them still waiting by the door.

I just tried to walk past without a word, but Wade and Trevor stepped forward to block my path.

“Aurora, it's our fault. Please, come back,” Wade pleaded.

I glanced at Freya and let out a bitter laugh. “Come back? So I can continue to compete with Freya for your attention? No, thanks.”

At my words, both Wade and Trevor flushed red with shame, while Freya stood to the side, tears streaming down her face. Now, she could only pretend to cling to her act of fragile innocence.

“Aurora,” Wade began, his tone desperate. “We only pitied Freya. You’re irreplaceable to us. She’s nothing like you. You grew up with us, but Freya had no one. She’s just an orphan—we felt sorry for her because we knew what that was like. That’s all it was, I swear.”

Trevor chimed in, “Exactly! We just wanted to help her. She meant nothing to us beyond that. And wasn’t it you who recruited her? We only tolerated her because of you.”

I met their frantic explanations with a calm, steady gaze. “There’s no need to explain. We’re nothing to each other now.”

Wade’s voice cracked. “Nothing? That’s not true. You care about us more than anyone else. You always.”
