Too Late for Love

My reaction stunned everyone in the room.

In the past, I would have made a huge fuss, at least causing a scene.

If I didn't get Norman back, the whole city wouldn't know peace.

But this time, I simply said softly, "I quit."

A look of surprise crossed Norman's face as well.

However, it lasted only a moment.

He quickly replaced it with an indifferent expression.

"After all, we've been together for so many years. If we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. You can always come to me if you need anything in the future."

"Forget it. It's better to keep some boundaries. Don't let your obedient, understanding, young, and beautiful little girlfriend misunderstand."

Norman stared at me for several seconds, as if he was just processing my words, and then he nodded in agreement, "You're right."

As I left the private room, I suddenly remembered that I was still wearing the ring Norman had given me.

When he gave me that ring, he had said in a very domineering way, "Wear this, and you'll be my woman from now on."

At that moment, I felt like a little angel blessed by the goddess of luck.

I had worn this ring for seven years, never taking it off.

Now that I had broken up with Norman, there was no reason for it to stay with me.

The door to the dining room was open. As I approached, I heard voices inside discussing me.

"Yuna seems to be really angry this time!"

"Come on, when has she ever been different? After making a fuss, she'll just come running back to Norman."

"This woman can't survive without Norman."

"Norman, how long do you think she can last this time?"

Norman replied to this with a heavy dose of sarcasm, saying, "Three days at most. If it's more than that, I'll consider it a loss."

I gently placed the ring I had taken off at the entrance.

Three days, huh?

Norman, this time, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you.
