Chapter 908 I Do Need A Break

Jade was in a much better mood by the time her cab pulled up in front of Tom's gate later in the evening. She walked down the distance from the gate to the house, and as she drew closer, her heart skipped a beat, when she saw one of Harry's cars parked in front of the house.

What was he doing here? Was he here to see Tom? She mused.

Deciding not to let his presence affect her mood or composure, she headed inside, prepared to go directly to her bedroom so she wouldn't cross paths with him.

It wasn't like she had anything against him, but if they were taking a break she didn't want to see him too often.

As she approached the stairs, ready to retreat to the sanctuary of her room, Sonia and Lucy emerged from the den, their faces lighting up at the sight of her.

"Jade, hey!" Sonia called out, a gentle smile on her face.

"Hi," Jade responded, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Harry's been waiting for you all day," Lucy said, her eyes flickering with a mix of curiosity and concern.

Jade frowned slightly, her steps faltering. "What for?"

Both women shrugged, almost in unison. "Why don't you find out? He's in the den," Lucy added, gesturing with her head.

Taking a deep breath, Jade turned and walked towards the den, while Lucy and Sonia continued to the kitchen since Sonia needed a snack.

As she entered, Harry's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he stood up immediately, holding the bouquet of sunflowers awkwardly in his hands.

Jade's heart skipped a beat, a rush of emotions flooding through her. She was still not sure what he was doing there or if she was ready to face him.

Tom and Bryan, who had been sitting with him, nodded to her before slipping out, giving Jade and Harry some privacy. Jade walked further into the den.

"Jade," Harry said, his voice gentle and filled with remorse. "Can we talk?"

Jade took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm. "Alright."

Harry handed her the bouquet. "These are for you."

Jade took the flowers, their cheerful appearance contrasting with her conflicted emotions. "Thank you. They're beautiful."

Harry sat down on the couch, gesturing for Jade to join him. She hesitated for a moment, then took a seat, clutching the bouquet as if it were a lifeline.

Harry's gaze softened as he looked at her, but Jade remained guarded. "I heard you were here to see me," she said, her tone neutral.

"Yes," Harry replied, his voice earnest. "Where have you been all day?"

"I went to yoga, saw a movie, and had an appointment with a house agent," she said matter-of-factly, watching his reaction closely.

His brow furrowed in confusion. "A house agent? Why?"

"Because I'm moving out of here. I'm getting my own place," she said simply.

Harry's brow shot up. "But we agreed—"

"I don't need your permission to move, Harry," she interrupted, her voice firm but not harsh.

"I was also at the yoga studio earlier to find you. I figured you might have gone there," Harry said and Jade smiled.

"You must have been worried," she said, and Harry nodded.

"I was worried," Harry admitted.

"I almost feel sorry for turning off my phone," she said and he raised a brow.

"Almost? You don't feel sorry?" He asked, and she shook her head.

"No. I turned it off because I didn't want to be bothered by anyone and I didn't want to keep staring at my phone hoping you'd call like I did for most of last night and the night before. I'll be off now. Drive safely," Jade said, and without waiting for Harry to say anything else, she walked away carrying the flower with her to her bedroom.

As Harry watched her leave, he couldn't help but miss her and wonder just how much she was going to change since she seemed to be changing already. He hoped she wouldn't change too much, cause he really did love her as she was, apart from the insecure part.

Tom and Bryan who had been at the dining returned to the den, "How did it go?" Tom asked as they joined him.

"Did she tell you where she went?" Bryan asked at the same time.

"She says she doesn't want to get back together yet until she works on herself. And she wants to move to her own place," Harry explained as he dipped the ring back into his pocket.

"Jade said that?" Tom asked, surprised, and Harry nodded.

"What are you going to do now?" Bryan asked curiously and Harry shrugged.

"I will let her do her thing and cheer her on while supporting her however I can. She agreed to attend couple counseling with me, and she also said I can drive her to therapy," Harry said and Tom nodded.

"That's good enough, I guess," Tom said and Harry nodded in agreement.

"Yeah."

Outside the den, as Jade made her way upstairs, Sonia and Lucy who had been hanging around with Tom and Bryan followed her.

"So, have you both made up?" Sonia asked curiously.

"We are still taking a break," Jade said simply.

Lucy frowned, "I thought he came to make up..."

"He did. But I want the break. It's me asking for a break now, not Harry," Jade said, and Lucy exchanged a look with Sonia.

Hadn't she been the one who was upset about the break? Why was she asking for a break now? They both mused.

"Why?" Sonia asked in confusion.

"Because I need it. As much as I'd like to chat, I'm really tired and I need to freshen up and get some rest. Maybe we can chat later after dinner," Jade said, flashing them a smile and they both nodded and watched as she walked away to her bedroom.

"Is it just me or does she seem like a different person?" Sonia asked, and Lucy nodded.

"Yeah. I expected that she would be laughing happily and be all over Harry. I was actually looking forward to seeing the joy on her face," Lucy said, equally bemused.

"Me too. I wonder what happened," Sonia said with a sigh.

"Well, the most important thing is that they are both okay with their decision. I hope it all works out fine for them," Lucy said, and Sonia nodded in agreement.
