Giving the CEO to Her First Love Chapter 9
"Marcel, is this really the end of us?" Jasmine asked.I looked at her pleading eyes and suddenly felt a little amused. A malicious thought sprouted in my mind.I threw back at her the very words she had once used against me when Ethan returned. Those words used to cut me the deepest."You're being unreasonable right now, and it's really getting old, Jasmine."With that, I shook off her hand and turned to leave with Winona, walking back into the house.After Jasmine left, there was a tube of burn ointment on the steps outside the door, the same one she had brought from the hospital that day.Medicine had an expiry date, but so did my feelings for her.…I nudged Winona's arm. "You heard all that?""Yeah.""Are you upset, then? I did say, like, a bunch of things to her."She smiled lightly. "No. It's good that you talked things out with her. I know you wouldn't step out of line."Unlike Jasmine, who always carried a faint edge of hostility in everything she said, Winona felt

"Mom…" I drawled, feeling a little awkward. "I'm… gonna get some air."Just to escape the topic for a while…However, the moment I stepped into the courtyard and saw that slender figure, I instantly regretted it. Jasmine was standing beneath the magnolia tree in the yard, looking melancholic.When she saw me, her face froze for a moment. "Marcel."She looked nothing like the bright, confident woman I once knew. Now, she just seemed worn out.I sighed quietly, already knowing I wasn't going to get out of this easily. I stopped walking and didn't go any closer. "What is it?"Jasmine stood at the bottom of the steps, while I remained above them. Gazing up at me, she asked, "Have we really become this distant?"An indifferent laugh slipped out of me. "I don't see the issue."Pain flickered in her eyes. She looked like she had everything to say, but held back, struggling with herself. After a long silence, she finally spoke, as if she had accepted defeat."Marcel, if I say I love y

My chest tightened. "And you don't mind? I…""To be honest, a little," Winona said. "But more than that, I feel bad for you. What you went through for Jasmine… She didn't deserve it. And besides, I have feelings for you."I stared at her, stunned.What did Winona just say? She had feelings for me? Weren't we only together to satisfy our families?Under my gaze, her eyes turned red. "Did you forget? We've met before."Of course, I remembered. The year we met, I was seven, and she was eight.Back then, the Roberts family had just moved into the villa next to mine. I was curious about the new girl next door. There wasn't any deeper reason. I just thought she was cute.So, I ran over, eager to play with her. Somehow, the timing was always off. I never managed to see her even once.Later, on a rainy day after school, I ran into a group of kids surrounding Winona, demanding money from her.Back then, I had this childish dream of being a hero, so I charged in out of nowhere, grabbed

I looked straight at Jasmine and chuckled. "Do you know what you look like right now? A clown."Flustered, she forced a stiff smile. "Stop it, Marcel. You wouldn't just marry some random woman to get back at me."I watched her, at that face trying so hard to hide the truth, and suddenly, it all felt pointless. The woman I had loved for years wasn't all that special, after all.I let out a mocking laugh. "Who do you think you are to me, Jasmine? Why'd I do anything just to get back at you?"Jasmine looked at the resolve on my face, and a chill slowly crept into her chest. Only then did she realize the way I looked at her had changed.There was now indifference, a sense of relief, and even a hint of ridicule, anything but the love that used to be there.Her heart tightened, like someone had grabbed it hard, then tossed it aside with a laugh. In the end, it felt like it was bent past the point of no return, never to be the same again.She forced another stiff smile.She should've

Ethan went on. "Maybe we should change the couch, too. Oh, and…"Jasmine pressed her temples, and for the first time, she responded to him with obvious distraction. "Whatever you want. I'm heading back to the office."She didn't look back even as Ethan shouted behind her. She drove off without hesitation.In the office, the wooden desk no longer had the usual sandwich and milk waiting for her. The drawer where I used to keep spare sanitary products for her was empty.She asked Annie to bring her coffee, but when she took a sip, something about the milk-and-espresso ratio was off. "Why does it taste different?"Annie hesitated before answering carefully, "Well, Mr. Gibson used to make your coffee…"Again, me.For the first time, Jasmine realized I had seeped into every corner of her life, like water drawn deep into a plant.She let out a long sigh and asked, "When is he coming back?"Annie was taken aback, genuinely confused. "Ms. Joyner, he's already resigned. You signed the a

After Jasmine hung up, her mind lingered on the fact that I was getting married.The man who had always followed behind her like a shadow was actually getting married. For a moment, she couldn't quite name what she was feeling.Was it relief, finally being free of me, or was it an inexplicable sense of loss?Jasmine stood there for a long time, unmoving. It wasn't until Ethan, who had waited in the ward for ages, finally walked out and called her name that she finally snapped back."Jazz, what's gotten into you?"She looked at the man in front of her. Honestly, she had never once thought Ethan and I were alike.The first time she met me, I was still just a quiet, clueless boy. I stood behind Yvonne, listening seriously as the adults joked and laughed.Her first impression of me was simple—well-behaved.Later, after I graduated from college, I insisted on staying in Seastone.Yvonne asked Jasmine to look after me. Back then, Yvonne said there was someone I had liked for a long
