Fall for You After Divorce

Chapter 222

“Why?”

Sensing the anger hidden beneath Maxim’s calm, Briana pursed her lips.

“To be honest, I was really grateful that you saved me, I was even wavering, and had thoughts of getting back together with you.”

“However, every time I tried to make up my mind to be with you, the image of you with Kiley would pop up in my mind.”

“That time you came to save me in Rosecliff Village, when the huge wave hit, you didn’t hesitate to cut the luxury lifeline. It was the first time you firmly chose me. But I knew very well that it was all because Kiley wasn’t by your side. If Kiley had been there, would you still have chosen me so firmly? I guess the answer would probably be no.”

Maxim’s gaze turned cold, staring into Briana’s eyes as he spoke, “This is just your assumption, you’re being unfair to me.”

Briana gave a bitter smile, shaking her head and said, “I know, but I dare not gamble anymore. I’ve gambled three years of my life, and now that I’ve finally managed to get out, I don’t want to make the same mistake again.”

“Briana, did you have so little faith in me?!”

“It wasn’t that I lacked faith in you, it was that I lacked faith in myself. Even if we forced ourselves to be together now, it would be hard for me to trust you again. We would inevitably part ways once more.”

As her words fell, the carriage plunged into silence.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Maxim finally spoke: “I understand now.”

“Thank you, you saved me twice, consider me owing you two favors.”

Maxim was all irritable inside, not wanting to hear her words trying to distance herself from him at all.

“Enough, I don’t want to hear it, you can leave now.”

He was afraid that if he continued to stay in the same space with Briana, his emotions would completely explode.

Briana silently got out of the car, and as soon as she closed the door, the black Maybach started and left.

Watching the car disappear from her sight, Briana felt a pang in her heart and a slight sting in her eyes.

She blinked her eyes, turned around, and sped off in the opposite direction of Maxim’s car.

They were never from the same world to begin with, and persisting would not yield any results.

Returning to the villa, she was surprised to see Hector waiting at the

entrance.

“How did you come?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than she was tightly embraced by Hector. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Just as Briana was about to struggle, she felt a warm tear drop on her neck.

She paused for a moment.

Hector…cried?

“Briana, I’m sorry, I should have let you go first back then.”

He couldn’t imagine what would happen to him if Briana really died because of him.

He had been in a daze all day yesterday, until he heard the news of her safe return just now. He hurried to wait for her at her doorstep.

Hearing the guilt in his tone, Briana didn’t push him away after all, gently patting his back and feigning nonchalance, “I’m fine, aren’t I? You don’t need to feel guilty.”

“I wouldn’t let you fall into such danger again!”

He wouldn’t let himself fall into that kind of helplessness like yesterday again!

Watching Maxim cut the rope and jump into the water, he felt worse than when he was on the brink of death himself.

“Alright, I understand now, let go of me first, you’re choking me.”

Hector quickly let go of her, his eyes filled with guilt.

“I’m sorry.”

Briana shook her head, “It’s okay, it’s not early anymore, you should go home and rest.”

“Alright, you should rest earlier.”
