Bye, My Ex-husband

As they walked down the empty hallways of the hospital, Janessa and Eric remained silent.

"You..."

"You..."

The two suddenly spoke up at the same time and smiled at each other in embarrassment.

"Janessa, please go first!"

Eric insisted with an awkward smile.

"I wasn't going to say anything important.All I wanted to ask was how you were getting along with Alana..."

Initially, Janessa had no desire to mediate between the two, but she couldn't help but do so.

She hoped in her heart that the two of them could find their way to each other.

"We..."

As he looked back at Janessa, Eric couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He suddenly realized that Janessa had always hoped for him and Alana to be a couple someday.

But that wasn't what Eric yearned for.

The last thing he wanted to do was make Janessa sad.

He knew that if he did anything to upset Alana, Janessa would be forced to keep a distance from him.

If he wanted to stay close to Janessa, he had to reign in the affections he had for her.

"We're just friends, that's all."

Eric didn't want to think too deeply about the relationship he had with Alana.

As of now, he only saw her as a friend.

However, if things changed, they might become a couple in the future.

Janessa merely nodded with satisfaction.

She was relieved to hear those words from his mouth.

It seemed like she made the right move to invite both of them on the mountain climbing trip.

The next step was to watch and wait to see how things would develop between the two of them.

Janessa had no intention of interfering with their relationship.

Things had to happen naturally between the two of them.
