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.”
