Chapter 166 - Im tired (1/2)

”I want to move out.”

Although he knew about this but he could not help from feeling shock. His face paled. His hands fell down. Was she serious? It was not a cruel joke?

”Oh...”

She looked at him with her hands gripped tight to control her nervousness. What should be said had been said and told. She now just needed to face the consequence.

He was silent for several minutes. His face was down looking at his own laps as he was deep in his thought.

It seemed like the intel of the servants was right. She did want to move out of the house.

What should he do now? He did not want to be separated from her. Even when they were under the same roof, they were still separated by the walls. Now she wanted to move into another house away from him?

”Tomorrow...” she spoke suddenly.

”Tomorrow? Isn't it too soon? What about Mika?” What about me?

Ryn sighed a bit as she closed her eyes. She was most worried about Mika. Anyone else could take the news calmly but not Mika. Mika, when she had to move into the mansion after the incident, was so happy. She always wanted to have a pyjama party almost every night. But she respected when Ryn told her no and still immersed in her own sorrow.

”I will tell her... later... once her health is better,” Ryn choked out. She tried not to wince at the thought of breaking this to the vulnerable girl. ”Besides...”

”Besides?” he echoed.

”My house is still in the city. I don't move that far. I just want my own space and privacy.”

He gripped the steering wheel. Space? Privacy? He gave that and more to her. Tha mansion was big enough and if she did not want to see anyone in the mansion, she could just stay in her room.

”Do you really... Want to move?” he asked slowly.

”Hmm...” she nodded her head and added, ”I've moved my things. The one left is in your place.”

”What about your old place? What do your parents... No... Have uncle and aunt know about this?” he wished her parents did not know about this so he could pull them to his side. Wouldn't they be worried when she lives alone?

”They already know about this and agree with my decision,” Ryn's answer broke his heart. How could she do this without asking him first.

”J, please understand my situation,” she looked at him, trying to stay calm. ”I do appreciate you and your family help after the incident, for giving me shelter, but I am my own person. I do want to live in my own way.”

”But we never restrain you from doing anything you want,” he choked out.

”Yes. And I appreciate that and I am so thankful with everyone receiving me with open arms. But... I am not from your world. I don't think I am suitable to live in such a huge mansion with so many people.”

”Then... We can stay at my place. With my parents' return, I no longer have to-”

”Jeremy, please. Please understand what I am trying to say. Stop being so stubborn.”

”Am I being stubborn? I don't understand why you keep running from me. I thought you want to give us another chance.”

”I said I am deciding about that. I am still confused. Are we back to what we were? Is it that easy to erase what happened that day? You broke my heart completely, Jeremy, and I spent almost two years to mend it back.”

”Give us another chance. I admit I was stupid that time. I allowed someone else to break our relationship because I was jealous and stubborn and... And stupid.”

”And I was stupid too that time, J. We both were. Now, we can start our new beginning as friends. Isn't it better? No more jealousy. No more suspicion. No more anger...”

”I don't want us just being friends. I want you. I really want you back.”

”I don't know. I'm so confused.”

”What do you need to be confused about? Just accept us back. I know you still love me. Even my parents like you and your parents... I know they like me,” he was so desperate, he almost gripped her hands tightly.

”It is easy to say the word 'love' but are we ready for it, J? You are still too... Possesive and emotional while I... I just feel tired from everything. I just...” she paused and looked at him with her wet eyes.

”I'm tired...”

He shook his head desperately. What did she mean by that? She looked like she was giving up. Was she really... No... No!

”Give us more time, Ryn. I haven't done wooing you. You haven't done being wooed so you don't know...”
