“Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?” Hayden finally asked after a while.

She didn’t know what kind of roller-coaster emotion that Joseph was experiencing in the hospital before he finally got to meet her. This once indifferent guy was being incredibly patient in front of her and was trying to lead their bumpy relationship to a stable state.

Staring at her, Joseph said, “What would you say to me if I didn’t say this? Breakup?”

Hayden didn’t know how to respond.

He was actually right. Should anything problematic turn up between them, her first response would always be retreating. Cutting losses in time was the biggest rule in her life and she had been adhering to this rule for twenty years.

She got to weight up pros and cons. Between two kids and Joseph, she would definitely choose the former.

Between her career and Joseph, she would also choose the former.

If these choices would include family and friends in the future, she would still choose the former without hesitation.

In her life, Joseph was love which always would be the last to consider.

But what was the reason behind all of this?

After hesitating for a while, Hayden finally said, “Well, truth may be tough to hear, but we got to face it like the reality. Self-cheating is sometimes a good thing, but I for me, Stella, family and friends are all far more important than my lover, just like you can’t compare Noah with me. I can only say I’m sorry if you mind this. Don’t force me to make decisions like this. It’s pointless.”

“What if I don’t mind?” Looking at her, Joseph’s face never changed.

Before trying to start this conversation, he had prepared himself for anything. He knew clearly deep down what kind of person Hayden was.

The rule that was once unbreakable to him seemed meaningless in front of Hayden.

Hayden paused and even got a bit flustered, “What... what are you talking about?”

“I don’t mind that I rank the last, but I have to be part of your life.”

He looked aloof, just like when he helped her in the elevator when they first met.

Joseph was waiting for her response.
