Chapter 1289 She Said It On The Sofa (1/2)

Time seemed to be at a standstill. Cherish and Carlos sat silently together. They perhaps took conscious efforts to ensure that their eyes never met.

Amidst the eerie silence, Carlos abruptly blurted out, ”Thank you.”

Cherish was slightly surprised to hear his voice. As she was preparing to respond to it, he had already risen up. She could feel the sudden loss of weight from her shoulders as well as the emptiness in her aching heart.

Sadly, she shook her head and forced a smile. If he had looked carefully, he would have noticed the massive wave of sadness in her eyes.

”Ms. Shen, you are a wonderful girl. However, I don't think we are meant to be together. I hope you can find someone who really deserves you, so that you can spend the rest of your life happily with him.”

His words were sincere and he seemed earnest. Carlos stared at her face with the most profound feelings in his eyes. He knew that he had to speak openly to Cherish. He had to clear the air around this matter sooner than later. If he didn't reveal it now, he would only end up hurting her even more.

Cherish's face froze in a moment of shock. She looked so pale that he found it extremely hard to continue. However, he cleared his throat, swallowed hard, and finally said, ”I know it sounds cruel as of now. But I do hope you can manage to call off the wedding. Regardless of the reason you intend to use, I will accept it without any objection whatsoever.”

Before she could think of any plausible reply, she burst into tears. She had never expected this; just several minutes ago, she had had the opportunity to start a relationship with Carlos, and now, he was actually proposing to break off their engagement altogether.

If she hadn't been wide awake at this moment, she would have considered all this to be a boring plot in a bizarre movie.

Ironically, it was she who was rather living an actual movie. Such boring plots seemed to hit her hard. It forced her to feel the tearing pain in her vulnerable heart. The whole world seemed to spin around her head.

”Carlos, are you serious?” She looked at him with a tilted head, her big beautiful eyes full of pain and expectation. A glimmer of hope that he would retract his decision shone brightly in her eyes. The moment she saw the firm determination in his eyes, her expectation instantly transformed into an endless saga of disappointment.
