Chapter 518 Ending Things With Him



Day Fifty-Nine...

~~*****~~

[ At the Mountain Resort... ]

Aiden finally stepped out of his cabin as he felt bored just doing nothing. When he went outside, the surroundings were very quiet. He didn't see others in the vicinity of the resort. He exhaled deeply as he walked around.

Aiden still had a gloomy look. He hadn't recovered yet from Cherry's rejection. "Where are they? Hmm. I wonder if Nathan is here."

Aiden searched for Nathan since he was bored alone. There was no sign of Nathan in the camping site or the pool area. "Don't tell me he is in his cabin."

Aiden was so desperate to find company. He proceeded to Nathan's cabin to check if he was there.

Knock! Knock!

No one responded. But when he placed his ear on the door, he heard some movement inside.

"Nate! It's me, Aiden. Can I come?" Aiden could no longer wait to see a human being after hibernating in his room for the whole morning.

Soon, the door was opened and Nathan came out with a grim expression on his face. He was grumpy since this morning. He couldn't get Jane out of his mind. The thought of her kept bothering him.

"Nate, Why do you look like you are carrying the whole world today?" Aiden didn't know whether to laugh or not. Nathan's expression couldn't be painted.

Nathan just ignored Aiden's remarks. He sat down on the rattan chair quietly. Aiden grabbed the opposite chair and sat down.

"How many times did you sleep with women?" Nathan asked him out of the blue.

"Sigh." Aiden could only sigh. The two of them were engulfed with deafening silence.

They were in that awkward and quiet atmosphere when Abigail and Dave approached them.

"Mr. Sparks, do you have spare time? Can we talk?" Abigail took her courage to talk to him.

Nathan glanced at her with complicated emotions on his face. Surprisingly, Nathan had forgotten about his problem related to Abigail because his mind was preoccupied with Jane since this morning.

But now that he saw her, his jealousy, sadness, and pain resurfaced once more. Part of him felt guilty because of what happened between Jane and him last night. He didn't want his relationship with Abigail to be affected by Jane. He had to admit that things were very complicated among the four of them.

No matter what, he couldn't let go of his love for Abigail. She was the woman who captured his heart. But why was it when he would look into Abigail's eyes, he could only feel the distant feeling and unfamiliarity?

"Okay," Nathan simply responded.

Aiden and Dave gave the two some privacy. Nathan and Abigail chose a spot under the tree just near the cabin.

"Mr. Sparks, I will be honest and frank with you. I love Dave. And I don't want you to wait for me until I recover my memory. Because I know for sure, I will still choose Dave over you. I am here to end whatever we have started before. I hope you will respect my decision."

Every word she said was like a dagger piercing his heart. They haven't started for real yet and now Abigail was ending things with him. He shouldn't have confessed his feelings if he knew that she would forget him. He looked very pathetic.

Nathan couldn't utter a word. He wanted to beg her for another chance and take her time, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words.

"Please forget about me. You are handsome and rich. I know you will find the right woman for you. I'm not the one for you, Mr. Sparks." Abigail was very tense and anxious as she spoke. She didn't know what Nathan was thinking. He just stood there quietly, listening to her with an indescribable expression.

The atmosphere was becoming more uncomfortable for Abigail but she waited patiently for Nathan to speak up. After his long silence, Nathan suddenly grabbed her by her waist and hugged her tightly. Abigail was caught off guard by his sudden action.

"Does this hug mean nothing to you? Can't you feel anything? Can't your heart recognize me?" Nathan asked her in his low voice. He wanted to test if she would feel something through this contact.

Abigail pushed him away. She didn't feel anything at all. When Nathan hugged her, all she could think was Dave getting jealous if he saw them hugging. She didn't want to hurt Dave's feelings so as much as possible she should maintain a distance from Nathan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sparks. Even my heart can't recognize you. I don't feel anything," Abigail responded truthfully.

Nathan didn't know how he would be able to accept this.
