The streetlight by the road flickered twice, making a sizzling sound. Serena's heart trembled for no reason.
She ignored the faint pain around her neck, clinging to a shred of hope in her heart, and quietly tested, "What did I lie to you about?"
"Haven't you lied to me enough?"
Adrian's face was impassive, the pale light outside streaming through the windshield onto his cold, handsome features. His fathomless black eyes stared straight at her.
"Serena, you're really ruthless. You just say break up and it's over."
Saying you don't love him, and you just stop loving him.
The instant her gaze crashed into the gloom of his eyes, Serena felt as if something had been nailed into her spine—a sudden, unspeakable anguish.
She forced herself to stay calm, her thick lashes trembling twice. She stated,
"Adrian, we've both changed over the years. You've changed. I've changed. There's no way back. And in these years since we broke up, we've both been doing just fine on our own."
