This Time, I’ll Be the One to Let Go Chapter 10
I had no objections to Diana’s arrangements.Just before we finished talking, she suddenly said, “Oh, by the way. That girl from tonight didn’t get a chance to talk to you, so she asked me to give her your phone number. You two can chat online first. If you hit it off, you can figure out where to go from there.”“Okay.”Just as Diana had said, Emily was an incredibly sweet girl.She was lively, but not so energetic that I found it overwhelming. More importantly, she was thoughtful and understanding.When I told her honestly that I was not ready to throw myself into a new relationship right away, she did not press me about when my previous relationship had started or what had happened.Instead, she admired me for being honest.She told me she could wait.“I really enjoy talking to you. Even if we never become a couple, I’d still like to be your friend. So why don’t we just talk and see where things go? No pressure.”I agreed.The following month, when I was leaving for school

However, what I did not expect was that this time, Yvette simply left Edmund’s situation to her assistant.She followed me all the way to the banquet.Diana looked surprised when she saw us arrive together. “You two came together?”Afraid Yvette might say something, I casually lied to her that we ran into each other at the entrance.Diana did not ask any more questions. She spent the evening introducing me to people and helping me make connections.Yvette simply followed us quietly the entire time without saying a word.Once the business conversations finally started winding down, Diana pointed toward a young woman across the room.“That’s the girl I told you about, the one I wanted you to meet. Want me to take you over and introduce you?”Yvette, who had been silent all evening, finally could not take it anymore.She suddenly grabbed my arm, stopping me from walking forward. “You’re really going on a blind date?”Diana laughed. “He’s twenty-five. Isn’t dating perfectly norma

After returning home, I was busy adjusting to the time difference and slept for almost half the day.When I woke up, I saw a string of missed calls and text messages from Yvette.I deleted them all before opening Diana’s messages.[I’m heading to the office. There’s food in the fridge. I left your outfit for tonight’s company banquet in the dressing room.]Diana took me to the company’s annual banquet every year. She had always said she had no plans to get married, and that the company would be mine sooner or later. As such, she wanted me to get familiar with the business as soon as possible.When I opened the door, I found Yvette crouching outside.I had no idea how long she had been there. The moment she saw me, she hurriedly stood up, only to nearly stumble to the ground.She awkwardly ran a hand through her hair. “My leg fell asleep.”It was one of her usual little gestures. Back then, I would have found it incredibly cute.I would have pulled her into my arms and kissed

I stood in the doorway, completely still for a long time.The truth was, I was not smart at all. If I had been, I would not have spent my entire previous life believing Yvette loved me, even until the day I died.Even before our marriage, Edmund had come to me. Everything he confessed tonight was something I had already heard in my previous life.Back then, he begged me to let Yvette go.“Yvette and I have loved each other for seven years. I’m the only one in her heart. The only reason she agreed to marry you is because you fell out with your family over her, and she felt guilty about it. Do you really think that kind of pity can carry the two of you through a lifetime together?”Back then, I answered him without hesitation, “It can. Yvette loves me. She’ll love me for the rest of her life.”However, as time went on, she grew more and more impatient with me, to the point where she could barely stand to see me.However, with Edmund, she was endlessly gentle.Once, I went to pick

Diana came over carrying a bowl of noodles.“What are you two talking about? Why aren’t you inside?”Yvette instinctively took half a step back, looking a little awkward. “Nothing.”I took the initiative to explain, “Ms. Yvette feels awkward because she didn’t accept Mr. Edmund’s proposal right away. She was asking me what she should do.”Darkness flashed across Yvette’s eyes. She stepped forward and grabbed my hand hard.“Do you even know what you’re saying? Do you really want to push me away that badly?”The wound I had just bandaged tore open again from the force of her grip.I swallowed the pain and smiled. “You don’t like Mr. Edmund? If that’s the case, why didn’t you reject him right away?”She froze for a moment. Her gaze looked conflicted.I laughed bitterly to myself. So she really did love Edmund. Then what right did she have to come looking for me now? Did she think I was some kind of fool who would happily let her hurt me over and over again?Diana smiled and us

Diana took two stunned steps backward and bumped into me. She grabbed my hand so tightly that her fingers nearly dug into my skin. “Luke, is what she said true?” She even called me by my childhood nickname.I could not help laughing. “How could it be? You’re my aunt. If I had a girlfriend, wouldn’t you know?”Yvette started toward us, her lips parting as though she wanted to say something.Suddenly, Edmund stumbled and fell. He clutched his ankle with one hand and reached out with the other. “Eve, I think something bit me.”Under the flickering lights, I could see blood on his hand.We were near the beach. It was not unusual for there to be bugs or even scorpions around.I had to admit, Edmund really knew Yvette. The moment she heard he had been bitten, I ceased to matter.She hurried over and helped him to his feet, rushing past me. “I’m taking you to the infirmary. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”When she walked past me, she paused for a second.“Lucas, wait here. We’ll talk
