After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 70

Chapter 19

I gently shook my head: "Cassius, please leave."

"Everly, I never touched Lyra. I broke up with her in less than three days."

"The wedding dress you bought, I've had it restored."

"And our matching rings, I've kept them safe."

"Everly, I even had a diamond ring custom-made. I'm serious..."

Cassius's eyes were getting redder, his voice trembling slightly.

He held out the exquisite diamond ring box, offering it to me like a precious gift.

The longing and hope in his eyes were incredibly cautious.

Looking at him like this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

But that was all the emotionl felt.

"Cassius, I already have a boyfriend."

I held Darius's hand tightly, stepping out from behind him to stand by his side, shoulder to shoulder.

The color seemed to drain from Cassius's face in an instant.

His gaze slowly moved downward Finally, it stopped on the intertwined fingers of Darius and me.

On our middle fingers, we wore matching rings.

Just like Cassius and I used to.

"Everly, are you serious?"

I took a deep breath, turned to look at Darius, then nodded firmly: "Yes, I'm serious."

Cassius suddenly let out a low laugh.

"Do you think he's serious about you?"

"Do you think he can have that much sincerity?"

"Two years ago, he fought tooth and nail with me over a project."

"Now he's pursuing you. Everly, don't you think there might be some ulterior motive?"

"Does he dare to say openly that his pursuit of you has nothing to do with competing against me, Cassius?" "Everly, you're still so naive."

"All crows under the sky are black, and all men are the same."

"You've been with me for seven years, we've been through so much together. Do you think Darius won't mind at all?"

"And do you think he can really be with you till the end, grow old together?"

"Aren't you afraid that being with him will just result in another seven years like what you had with me?"
