To the Love of My Life

Chapter 849: Chapter 849 Ruby Time: The Wedding (Finale 19)_1

Who would have thought that today’s traffic would be surprisingly smooth? I arrived at the airport in just forty minutes, more than an hour before the pickup time. So, I decided to rest in a coffee shop, but as soon as I stepped in, I caught sight of Howard Coleman and Anita Madris sitting in a corner.

From Madeleine’s vantage point, she could only see half of Howard’s face and couldn’t quite make out their expressions. They were sitting opposite each other, a fair distance apart, and she had no idea what they were talking about.

Behind Madeleine was the bustling airport, its noise a chaotic symphony, while in front of her was the somewhat quiet coffee shop, where Fish Leong’s melodious voice slowly drifted out.

Many passersby walked past Madeleine, some entering the coffee shop and others leaving, but she stood frozen at the doorstep like she had been struck by an acupoint, staring straight at the two people, unable to move her gaze away.

–

“Anita, let’s break up,”

...

At those seven words, Anita’s eyes instantly filled with moisture.

He still called her “Anita,” with the same tone as when they were in love, but it no longer conveyed any affection to her. All she felt was the indescribable sadness and sorrow.

Anita clenched the glass of juice in front of her. She tried to control her emotions, but her voice trembled uncontrollably, “Howard, you’ve chosen her over me, haven’t you?”

Howard didn’t speak, only offering Anita an apologetic smile.

That smile of his, tinged with a charming attitude, only caused Anita’s tears to fall uncontrollably, “Howard, how could you stop loving me?”

Indeed, how could he stop loving her? He couldn’t understand it himself. In the past, he had truly been moved and even impulsive at the sight of her, believing she would be the love of his life.

But things in this world are ever-changing. Initially impassioned feelings – he couldn’t quite explain why – just dissipated in an instant during their meetings, leaving no trace of the fervor he once remembered.

Howard thought that maybe he hadn’t truly loved Anita in the beginning. Perhaps she had just given him a unique thrill, something that felt extraordinary, and because it was the first time he’d felt such a stir, he hastily concluded she was his destiny.

Perhaps if Madeleine hadn’t actively torn him and Anita apart, they would have naturally drifted towards an inevitable breakup with passion long faded.

Regardless, in the end, he had wronged her.

In their relationship, aside from Madeleine’s interference, he was the first to betray his promise.

Howard swallowed hard and could only continue with a dry, “I’m sorry.”

Anita cried even harder, her tears falling freely.

Howard looked at the woman in front of him, crying ceaselessly, and slightly furrowed his brows. Then, in silence, he pushed the tissue box on the table toward Anita, “Anita, don’t cry. You’ll meet a man who loves and treats you better than I did.”
