This whole incident had been plaguing Stefan’s mind, and he knew he would not be at peace until he
found out the truth.
He took a deep breath and decided that the best course of action would be to ask the person directly
involved in the matter-Cecilia Smith.
Cecilia had been sent to the hospital to receive emergency treatment, and her life was now out of
danger, but because she was drowning in the water for too long, there were concerns that she might’ve
damaged her brain, heart, and lungs, and she had to remain hospitalized for a few more days for
observation. 1
All the guests had now left, with only Cecilia’s parents, Christopher, and Xavier remaining at the
hospital with her. They were all standing outside the door to her private ward amid a tense and heavy
atmosphere.
Cecilia’s mother was wringing her hands and staring cautiously at Christopher. She then fumblingly
said, ’Chris… There were too many people earlier, so I couldn’t really speak to you frankly, but now that
everyone’s gone, why don’t we sit down and have a proper talk about the things between you and
Cecy?”
Christopher kept his hands in his pockets, but his eyes remained kind and gentle. He seemed to be his
old mellow, and affable self.
“What would you like to talk about?” he asked her in a calm voice.
“You must know that Cecy has always been an indecisive girl, but she can also sometimes be a little
headstrong. As her mother, I can sense that after all these years, Stefan still has a special place in her
heart…”
“Nonsense!” Cecilia’s father interrupted her with a frown, glaring violently at his wife. Then his
expression softened as he turned to Christopher and told him, “If everything had gone according to
plan, I’d have raised my glass to your happiness and called you my son-in-law by now, Chris. Don’t
listen to my wife. She’s talking nonsense. I know for a fact that Cecy has no feelings left for Stefan
Hunt, but she is a gentle soul. She felt that she had once hurt Stefan, and she is unable to forgive
herself until now. The truth is, the person she loves the most is still you. So don’t worry. Once Cecy has
gotten better, we’ll find another suitable and auspicious date for the wedding, and everything will fall
into place.”
“Yes, yes, that’s right! My husband is absolutely right! I was using the wrong words just now. I didn’t
mean that Stefan holds a special place in Cecy’s heart, only that she still regrets hurting him. As for her
feelings for you, that was pure and deep, for sure! You mustn’t let this misunderstanding stand in the
way of your happiness as a couple!”
Cecilia’s parents were no fools. They knew that Christopher’s family was highly respected in Beach
City and that this was probably the best family that their daughter could marry. Naturally, they weren’t
about to let her miss out on this opportunity so easily.
Christopher’s clean-cut face revealed little emotion, rendering him inscrutable. All he did was reply in a
flat voice, “You’ve misunderstood me. I announced the ending of my relationship with Cecilia today, not
because of her, much less Stefan. It’s a decision that I’ve made myself after a long consideration.”
“The truth is,” he continued, “I’ve long noticed that Cecilia and I aren’t compatible with one another. But
at the time, I guess we were just too enmeshed in our feelings, or perhaps a better way to put it is that
we both sacrificed too much for our feelings to give it all up. In fact, I should thank Cecy, because her
courage helped me to finally make this decision.”
“Wh… What?”
Both of Cecilia’s parents were dumbfounded. novelxo They never expected Christopher to actually
change his mind about their daughter. After all, he had loved Cecilia so much in the past! How could he
change so easily and suddenly?
“Chris!” yelled Xavier. He could no longer take it. It was the first time that he ever raised his voice at
Christopher, who he always respected like his own big brother. “Are you out of your mind? Do you
know what you’re talking about? I can’t believe all that bullsh*t you just spewed! You sounded like a
total scumbag!
“Have you forgotten how well Stefan and Cecy were getting along back then? They were even
discussing marriage! If you hadn’t shown up, they’d probably be having their second baby right now!
You made Cecy’s feelings for Stefan waver for a while, till she decided to dump Stefan. And now that
Stefan finally managed to let go of Cecy, you’re saying you want to break up with her! You’re such a
scumbag that I really want to beat you up right now!”
“You’re right,” Christopher took a breath and helplessly admitted. “I really am a scumbag. If beating me
up could lessen the pain I’ve caused Cecy, I’ll gladly accept it!” “You!”
Xavier was taken aback, completely at a loss for what to do
