Chapter 939 I Have Been Thirsty For You. (1/2)

Cindy was still lost, appreciating her own painting when Steven's words reached her ears. In an instant, she was pulled out of her reverie. She shifted her gaze from the painting to Steven and asked, ”Why are you so serious?”

Steven looked at Cindy with grim eyes. Then he put the glass on the table and said, ”Cindy, I know what you are trying to do. But we can't be together. We don't belong to each other. And I now that you know that as well. So it is time for us to accept the reality and move on.”

He spoke in one breath and let out a sigh after finishing his words.

If he hadn't been to Yu Sea City, he might have chosen to give in to the pressures of this cynical world and married a girl he didn't love.

But now, things were different.

He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in pain. He wanted to follow his heart and live for himself.

”I know, Steven. We are nothing more than friends. I'm not really asking you for anything more,” Cindy said as she lowered her head. The resolute look on Steven's face was as discreet as his words. And it felt like a hard blow to Cindy's heart.

Steven turned around and looked at her. There were a lot of things related to him in the room. He said, ”Cindy, you are a good girl.

But it's not the right time. Very soon I will leave this city and go for work in some other place. It will take a long time for me to come back. I don't think it's fair for you to wait for me. So, take good care of yourself.

I hope that next time we meet, you will have already found your happiness,”

Steven said as he walked towards the door.

Cindy could hardly control herself as she watched Steven walk away from her. ”Is it because of her that you can't accept me?”

she demanded with a trembling voice. Her voice was almost choked as she added, ”I believed that she would not be the barrier between us. She doesn't even belong to the same world as us.

More importantly, she is happy with Mr. An. Why can't you let her go once and for all?

No matter how much you insist, you can't get anything that you are not destined for. You just can't get it! Why don't you just learn to accept it?”

Cindy pressed on as she walked closer to him slowly.
