A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1438

Sigrid had been Garrett’s rock, weathering the storm of tough times alongside him. And Chase? He had been hiding in the shadows, watching as Sigrid’s eyes slowly filled with Garrett, piece by piece…

It seemed more heart-wrenching to witness the person etched in your very soul fall for someone else, rather than just falling out of love. Especially when she admitted it, it felt like Chase had been shot through the heart with a volley of arrows…

The pain gnawed its way into his palms before piercing through his limbs, slicing his flesh bit by bit, bleeding him out drop by drop. After such agony, life seemed utterly meaningless.

Leaning against the wall, Chase turned away, his eyes misting over. Slowly tilting his head back, he caught a glimpse of the azure sky and felt that the world was still beautiful. So why was his heart riddled with holes?

“Sigrid, I was ready to silently stand by you for a lifetime, under one condition-that neither of us would fall for someone else. But why did you have to be the one to break the only rule we had left?”

However, he seemed to forget that this ‘rule’ was one he had made himself, irrelevant to Sigrid. Naturally, he had to bear the bitter fruit of it being broken.

Unwilling to accept this bitter fruit, Chase placed his hand over his aching heart, then slowly turned to look at Sigrid, who was sitting next to Eleanor.

Back when he had cruelly left her, Sigrid had held up three fingers in a hysterical oath to the heavens.
