Chapter 1143: "So we're really breaking up?" he asked.
"Yes." That one word nearly drained every ounce of strength from him.
Alyssa stayed composed, her gaze steady as she asked, "What if I told you the girl you liked back then liked you just as much-and still does?" Ethan froze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore he could react, Alyssa dropped her bombshell. "I never liked Bruce Aston. The only one I've ever loved is you." "What?" Ethan struggled to keep up.
"I lied back then because I was terrified you'd find out I had a crush on you," Alyssa explained, her voice clear. "So I said I was in love with Bruce. After all, you were the one who always made it clear I was just a good friend." Alyssa had kept all the feelings she wasn't supposed to have tucked away and hidden.
"Are you... being serious right now?" Ethan's voice cout slow, like he wasn't sure if he should believe what he was hearing.
"Yes," she said, without hesitation.
"You really likedfor years?" "Yes," she replied.
"So all this time... we both liked each other?" "Yes." Alyssa's calm and steady answers made something inside Ethan light up. He felt like he was dreaming. "You're not just messing with me, right?" he asked, biting his lip. His face was caught between hope and doubt. "You always said you liked Bruce. And I bought it." "I acted like that on purpose," Alyssa admitted. "I wanted you all to believe it." Looking back now, she realized how silly it had been.
Sometimes, she really admired how honest Freya was. When Freya liked someone, she just said it. No games. No pretending. And if she didn't like someone, she didn't fake it.
Your imagination starts at g V In σ vs.conn If Freya had been in her place back then, she would've told the truth. No hiding, no regrets—just a clear answer: they'd either end up together, or she'd walk away and move on.
That night, Ethan couldn't stop asking Alyssa questions. And when he was completely sure she'd had feelings for him all along, he grabbed her and spun her around in circles. He was so happy, like a kid who had just discovered that the whole candy store was his.
'm "I thought we were breaking up,m Alyssa said, raising an eyebrow. "There's no way we're breaking up!" he shot back.
"And the proposal?"
"It's still happening!" he shouted, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
