“But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still can’t catch your eye, right?” he asked.
In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into
Grace’s mouth. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Chase Harper gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately
after. “Actually, before you said those things, I had already
thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest
of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while I’m still not yet 30 to give myself more of a
challenge.”
A challenge? If the Grace from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or
a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen
the former.
Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.
Grace took a deep breath and said, “Actually, what I said to you that day, you really don’t have to mind
it too much. I only didn’t want you to spend more time on me. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for
you at all, so there’s no way I can be with
you.”
She paused, then enunciated every single word clearly, “If I truly love you, then even if you are at rock-
bottom, I will still
choose to be with you. But since I don’t, even if you soar above
the ranks, I still won’t be with you.”
Despair flashed across Chase Harper’s face before he smiled. “Is that so? When you put it that way, it’s
really as I thought… I didn’t peg you wrong. I knew it. How can the person I like be
so materialistic?”
“Then are you still quitting?” Grace did not want him to lose his stable job because of her.
“Going out into the world to try and make my mark is a wish I always had,” Chase Harper said
earnestly. His expression had no anger whatsoever. “No matter whether or not I can succeed in the
future, at least I won’t have any regrets in this life, right?”
Seeing Chase Harper’s determined expression, Grace knew there would not be any use talking to him
anymore, so she said, “In that case… I wish you success.”
“Thank you!” he said.
When Grace was about to leave, Chase Harper said, “Grace, you’re a good woman. It’s my misfortune
that I can’t make you
like me. I don’t need any of your guilt either. My resignation
has nothing to do with you. It’s just my hope that I can provide a better life for the person I love in the
future.”
After leaving Chase Harper, Grace felt like her heart was blocked. It was like an unspeakable
uneasiness.
Two days later, Chase Harper left the Sanitation Service Center. The Sanitation Service Center even
organized a da farewell party with everyone for Chase Harper. They had a meal out.
Grace joined the meal too. After that, Chase Harper even paid from his own pocket and invited
everyone to a karaoke session.
When they parted ways, Chase Harper said, “Grace, can you let me send you back this once? From
now on, I won’t have any chance to do so anymore.”
Grace agreed. This time, she did not refuse.
Chase Harper’s car was at the gates of the neighborhood. Grace got down and said to Chase Harper,
“See you.”
Chase Harper hesitated a while before saying, “See you.”
These were two simple words, but they implied so much meaning.
This chase was fated to have no results from the start, but at this moment, Chase Harper did not have
any feelings of
regret.
This woman lived a life that was much bumpier than he actually thought. Those kinds of highs and lows
had few who could withstand it, but she was like the wintersweet flower
after a harsh winter-no matter how devastating the winds. were, in the end, her own fragrance would fill
the air.
Her beauty came inadvertently. It was not eye-catching, yet it was still so attractive. It was like being
treated warmly by her
could warm the soul too.
Actually, he really wanted to ask whether or not she already
had someone she loved. If she did, then who was the person
she loved?
He did not know why, but when this question was at his throat,
that man he met before who called her ‘sis’ flashed through.
his mind.
That man’s attitude toward her did not seem like they were
siblings. It was like they were lovers, not allowing others to get
involved.
