Chapter 2151 Leaning with one elbow on his knee, the finely tailored fabric accentuated his impressive physique. He appeared immaculate, akin to a poster model.

Laura stared at him with a sense of bewilderment.

She couldn't fathom what she had done wrong. After all, they had been intimate just hours ago. Was it due to her clumsy accident with the bowl, or because she had ventured to work independently without his company? Edwin seemed to grasp her thoughts.

In a casual tone, he remarked, “Let's part ways amicably. This is for the best.” With those words, he began to turn his back on her.

Laura refused.

Despite her innate timidity, she summoned the courage to hug him from behind, her face pressed against his back. In a soft, heartfelt voice, she confessed, “I don't want to be apart from you. I want to be with you.” Edwin's heart skipped a beat.

He cast his gaze downward, fixing his eyes on her tightly clenched hands.

Her delicate fingers were entwined, their pallor giving way to a rosy hue.

After a brief pause, he croaked in a hoarse voice, “That's enough.

Let go of me. I want to end this." Having said that, he forcefully pulled away from her grasp.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY He opened the apartment door and then slammed it shut in her face.

As Edwin stood alone in the elevator, his handsome visage remained devoid of emotion. He had achieved his goal; having invested a Little bit of his time and energy, he managed to manipulate this young woman.

Edwin expected Laura to break down in tears.

He anticipated her reaction would mirror the abandonment he and his mother had experienced all because of her all those years ago.

In all honesty, he should have been content with the outcome.

Yet, the mere thought of Laura shedding tears left him with a peculiar sense of loss. He even entertained the idea of turning back and embracing her, reassuring her that it had all been a charade for April Fool's Day.

However, his rationality held him back.

He and Laura were never meant to be together.

That was the harsh reality.

From that point onward, their lives would take separate paths, never to cross again.

Chapter 2152 Edwin headed to the ground floor of the apartment building.

Chris was jolted awake by a late-night phone call, his thoughts still hazy as he rushed to pick up Edwin. What could have gone wrong? Why was Edwin embroiled in a midnight argument with Miss Thomas? Chris couldn't believe Laura would possibly kick Edwin out in the middle of the night.

But he didn’t dare to ask.

He opened the car door, observing as Edwin climbed in.

Just as Chris was about to shut the car door, a slender figure emerged from the apartment building's entrance. That individual hadn't even had time to slip on shoes and stumbled clumsily.

Tears streaked her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

She never had a romantic relationship before. Her mind was a mess when he ended things like that with her out of the blue. When he left, she finally realized he didn’t want her anymore and would never return to her.

He wouldn't hold her in his arms anymore.

He wouldn't cook for her anymore.

The velvet box suddenly lost its meaning.

The engagement ring she had longed for would never grace her finger.

Laura's eyes welled up with tears, but she refrained from breaking into sobs. She had no desire to appear like a child throwing a tantrum in front of Edwin. She simply gazed at him and softly uttered, “Please don't go.” The night air turned cold.

The streetlights cast their glow on Edwin's prominent features, though his expression remained shrouded in ambiguity.

He regarded Laura in silence.

For the first time, he refrained from worrying about her and picking her up as she walked barefoot. Her leg wound served as evidence of her hurried escape, with blood 0ozing from the wound that had been torn open in her haste.

Chris, feeling perplexed, called out, “Miss Thomas.” Laura seemed oblivious to Chris's voice, her unwavering gaze locked onto Edwin.

A vague realization washed over her.

He had never intended for their relationship to last. The apartment held scant evidence of his presence, having only a few articles of clothing from the season. The rest remained largely inconsequential.

It seemed he only bought the apartment to keep her.

He had never even considered being in a Long-term commitment with her or envisioned a future together.

His attraction had been primarily physical.

It seemed he had grown weary of even that.

Chapter 2153 Laura had pieced together the truth, but she was reluctant to accept it fully. She yearned to hear it from him. Only then could she bring herself to let go.

Edwin gazed at her, his throat feeling constricted.

At last, he stepped out of the car.

Laura's body quivered slightly.

Edwin towered over her at 6.1 feet while she only stood at the 5.2 mark.

Whenever he held Laura, it felt like carrying a child. In his family, there wasn't a girl as petite as Laura. Even Olivia boasted two inches higher than her.

Edwin examined Laura from head to toe, and after a prolonged silence, he uttered in a chilly tone, “Go back inside.” Laura remained motionless.

Suddenly, he raised his voice, nearly coming across as harsh.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY “Go! I've never cared for you!" She appeared startled.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, yet she remained meek. It was reminiscent of every instance she had been mistreated, enduring the pain in silence.

Tears welled up in her eyes.
