Chapter 630 - EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL (2/2)

Shun looked up with pursed lips.

”That will not be necessary.” He said coldly. ”I will not be your anchor anymore.”

”What?” Wang Che was confused by the metaphor.

Shun realised that he had spoken his thoughts directly. ”It does not matter. What needed to be said has already been said. I am going back to Mountain Ridge to stay with my family. I will have my family send lawyers to deal with the legal stuff.”

Wang Che felt a chill in his heart. Just as he feared, it was too later. He had lost Shun because he had been too stupid, too arrogant and too repressed.

At that moment, everything seemed to freeze. It was like time had stopped and encased him in ice to watch the instance he lost everything.

”Shun…” He called out.

His voice sounded weird in his own ears. It was like he was calling from a distance, trying to reach the mirage of the man he loved. But everything was crumbling and turning into nothingness around him. Nothing seemed real.

Except for the deep aching pain in his heart.

”No! You do not have to say anything,” Shun shouted in an uncharacteristic outburst. It was just like that day on the parking lot when he seemed to lose his sweet and innocent demeanour. ”I should have known that it would not work out.”

”That's not true.” Wang Che tried to break free from his pain and fear.

Shun's eyes watered. ”I should never have even entertained the thought. I mean, what kind of person would claim to love another and never say anything? How could you be fine with being close to me and never do anything?”

Wang Che was too shocked to react.

”I cannot understand if you are that dead inside that you can hold back your feelings. Or maybe, your feelings for me were never as strong as you thought they were. If you ask me, you just used me as an emotional support animal to keep you calm and stable.” Shun continued.

Wang Che opened his mouth, but he could not say anything.

”I am truly stupid. I mean, the moment I had feelings for you, I decided to express them to you. And still, you had the self-control to stop me so that you could protect me from myself. Do you think I should thank you?” Shun continued his rant.

Then, the room fell silent. Shun was going to continue with his histrionics when he realised what he had just said. His mouth fell open, and his eyes widened in guilt. He looked from Wang Che to Hu Lei and finally, to Zhong Feng.

The silence somehow seemed deafening.

”Well, there goes my ah-ha moment..” Hu Lei said drily.
