NovelEnglishChapter 1002
To be honest, Patrick was ready for the worst case scenario when he left with Sean.
John did save Cordy with his life, and if he asked, there was every chance Cordy would break down
and throw herself into his arms.
Thus, Patrick was surprised Cordy was so determined to reject John. In fact, she refused to listen to
any of John's explanations and remained determined to reject his advances even after he admitted that
he had regained his memories.
Did she not love him anymore? Or did she love him too much and was afraid to get hurt again?
At the same time, Cordy wiped away her tears ever so subtly.
There was just no controlling it when your heart hurt so much..xo
However, she will slowly change that from now on, and slowly forget how she felt towards John Levine.
’I'm sorry," she suddenly told Patrick.
Patrick's heart skipped an anxious beat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe obviously rejected John just now, but was she already regretting it?
Did that mean his happiness only lasted for...minutes?
He stared at Cordy, afraid to even breathe too loudly or say another word. Great despair overwhelmed
him all over a sudden.
However, Cordy smiled. ’If you can give me time, I swear I'll never cry for other men ever again."
Patrick froze, realizing right then that he had misunderstood Cordy.
She was just apologizing-not breaking up with him.
’Are you upset?" Cordy asked with a faint smile, since he wasn't responding.
’No, I just thought..." Patrick's eyes were a little moist, and he was greatly overwhelmed. "Cordy, I'll do
right by you-more than he ever could."
’I know."
’I tried to reach you during the fire, but someone knocked me out, so I couldn't save you," Patrick
rambled as he explained. "And then your dear cousin just had to stop me, or I would’ve tried to save
you, instead of letting John..."
"Yeah, I know," Cordy said, nodding.
She was aware that Patrick would never abandon her. Plus, since Nana was prepared to go that far,
that woman would definitely cover every corner.
Still, Patrick's tone turned solemn. "I don't mind it, Cordy, but I want to ask... ■
As he trailed off in hesitation, Cordy saw through him and said, "You're trying to ask how I could break
up with John so thoroughly?"
Patrick's gaze darkened, and he was clearly a little dejected. "Look, it's not like I mind it, but I just don't
get it. John knows how much he loves you now that he's regained his memories, and he even saved
you from the fire. You should've chosen him, even if it was just gratitude from that gesture... Or do you
feel guilty towards me?"
’No," Cordy denied it right away. "It has nothing to do with you. It’s over between him and me, even if
I'm not with you."
’Don't you find that a pity?"
“Before this, yes... To be precise, I felt that way before I learned that he remembered his past. After
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat, I don't find it a pity at all."
Patrick was obviously confused, so Cordy patiently explained, "If he never remembered, I’d always
think that giving up on him before he could gain his memories would be unfair to him. Despite that, I
gave up on him anyway, since all it means is that we’re just not meant to be. But now that he's
remembered everything, it’s not unfair anymore. I no longer carry any attachments towards him."
"You already fell out of love for him?” Patrick asked carefully.
’No.’ Cordy shook her head.
Patrick felt a little stressed, but this was within expectations-no one got over a breakup that
quickly.nvëlx.o
And if Cordy was that casual about relationships, he wouldn't have loved her to bits.
"Now that he remembers, he knows all too well what I'm like-that I meant it when I said I'm leaving
him," Cordy continued. "But in the end, he still chose to face everything all alone. Since he wants to
push me away, I'm just going to let him have his wish."
"But what if he really has his own predicaments? You know the Lynds are no angels," Patrick said, able
to see things clearly despite being a rival to John.
’Like I said, he knows me," Cordy repeated. "When he chose to face everything himself, he would’ve
been prepared that I’d leave him."
