Proposal No. 18: Still Lost to Her Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 11
"That's not true! I only saw Eric as a friend. He needed care at the time," Hailey said weakly before ultimately falling silent.Eric, standing right there, was the best proof. She couldn't refute it.I closed my eyes and walked away. The memories were too painful, so it was best not to think about them.The next day, I took the earliest flight out of there.Hailey tried to contact me, but Eric had gone mad and posted everything online. Overwhelming discussions were targeted at Hailey.Some people blamed me. To them, they were childhood sweethearts, destined for each other. I was the one always standing between them.No one cared that I was the real boyfriend back then, or that I was the one who suffered.My friends angrily posted statements online, but they didn't make a difference.I didn't pay it much mind. I just threw myself into work and composed myself before I recorded a video message to post."Many people want me to explain, but what can I say? I was with Hailey only

What was something I once regarded as a treasure now seemed nothing special.When I heard a commotion, I looked over. Heartbroken, Eric closed his eyes, took a small knife from his pocket, and stabbed it straight toward his heart.No one had expected this to happen, and I rushed forward at lightning speed to stop him.He couldn't get hurt, not at this critical moment. Otherwise, public opinion would be affected, and so would the project.Daisy cried out in worry behind me, "Security! Can't you see someone's trying to kill themselves? Stop him! Daniel, be careful!"Her tone was frantic, which made Hailey quickly snap out of it. As I grabbed Eric's hand, she also hectically tried to wrestle the knife away.It was a small fruit knife, so it wasn't very lethal, but there would be no saving him if it pierced his heart.I always knew part of Eric's depression was an act and an excuse to keep Hailey with him. I didn't expect him to go this far when she left."Eric, are you insane? D

No matter how "perfect" one seemed, it was all the same. In the face of love, wasn't everyone equally pathetic?After I landed, my phone was flooded with notifications. As I looked at the glaring red alerts, I shook my head, feeling somewhat awkward.Hailey had never been someone who cared about me. This was the first time she had called and texted so much, all because she was afraid of losing me.But her affection that came too late was worthless to me.I deleted and blocked her number, then threw myself entirely into my work.Being busy helped with making me forget all the pain, but it could also bring about gains.However, the biggest surprise was that Hailey still came looking for meI didn't know how she found out where I was. When I encountered her, I treated her as a stranger and ignored her.After the third time I ignored her, Hailey asked me while crying, "Do you have to be like this?"She stood directly in front of me and acted as if she would start shouting the mome

That had once been my dream and my greatest temptation. But people would always eventually grow up."Hailey, I'm in a rush to catch a flight. We can talk about this some other time."I coldly pushed her aside, just as she had pushed me away countless times."I'm busy. We'll talk later.""Don't bother me. We can talk about it later."Those words had trapped me for eight years.Now, hearing them come from my own mouth, I realized how useful those excuses were. It was just a few simple words to dismiss everything.Hailey wasn't prepared for me to shove her. She stumbled and hit the wall, gasping in pain.I didn't look at her. I coldly opened the door to leave and immediately collided with a figure—Eric.He looked like he had gained weight, with his cheeks becoming fuller. When this was paired with the dark expression on his face, he didn't look depressed at all, but more like someone with a manic disorder.Hailey rushed out while holding her arm. I stepped aside and allowed her

Hailey's face was visibly filled with regret. This was the first time in eight years that it happened, but I no longer needed it from her."We can't go back to how we were, Hailey."After so many rejections and abandonments, our love was no longer a complete piece. It was left with one deep crack after another.A broken mirror couldn't be made whole again, and neither could feelings."Hailey, you've never been the type who can't let go of things. I'm leaving tomorrow. Let's part on good terms."I didn't plan to tell her where I was going. After that, I forcibly pulled my hand from hers and moved into the guest bedroom.Muffled sobs came from outside the door, and she cautiously begged me to look at her one more time.I leaned against the door as I felt bitterness spread in my chest. If she had regretted it earlier, we wouldn't have reached this point.But there were no such things as "what ifs" in this world. Even if there were, people would still make different choices in

Once those words fell, I felt the emotions pent up inside me instantly vanish.But Hailey was terrified. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and tears began to fall immediately."What do you mean? I've already said there's nothing between Eric and me. Why would we break up? Daniel, I know I was wrong. Please don't be like this!"We can discuss anything you want. Eric is just sick. He'll get better. When he's better, we'll get married."My hand tightened on the suitcase handle, but I said nothing.Hailey reached out to me pitifully. "Say something, Daniel. How can you just decide you don't want me anymore?"Who was really the one being abandoned?I coldly avoided her hand and said calmly, "Hailey, we were together for eight years. I proposed to you 18 times. Every time, you left me, humiliated me, and accused me of disregarding Eric's life. Now, I'm giving up. You should be happy."My throat felt hoarse. If you listened closely, you could tell my voice still carried a heavy nasal sou
