You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 118 Heartache

Alina took a few steps backward and nodded at everyone in the room as she said, “Sorry to drop in on all of you like this, but it’s the last time. From now on, we are going our separate ways, and we probably won’t ever cross paths again. I, along with the rest of the Harmons, will no longer have anything to do with the Wendels. Goodbye!”

With that, she turned around and walked out the door.

Nicholas immediately ran after her. “Lina, let me explain. Lina—”

“There’s no need for you to explain.” Alina stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him indifferently. “You could come up with the most reasonable explanation, and I’d still think you’re a moron for allowing this to happen in the first place. I’ve already told you that I won’t settle for a man who can’t tell right from wrong. I want someone who can take a clear stance when things come down to it; someone who is bright enough to know which shots to call. We’re over now, Nicholas, so stop pestering me while things are still amicable between us. I don’t want to make things ugly. I’m leaving, and you are not coming with me!”

She spun on her heels and left without so much as a backward glance.

Nicholas wanted desperately to run after her, but pride held him back. He stood in place and watched her leave, and she never looked back. When she was out of sight, he thought his heart had bled itself dry, but it still felt like someone was wringing it out.

He was foolish and lacked foresight; he was not a man who could call the shots, nor did he know which ones to call. Am I really like that?

He thought about his mother, who had apparently only taken Angie in not to raise her as her own daughter but to spite Crystal and cause discord among the main family.

Angie? Do you think that you could just set Nicholas up and marry into the Wendels like you’re moving chess pieces on a board? Well, let me just point out how wrong you’ve been. You can move all the chess pieces you want, but you set yourself up for a checkmate from the very
