"Nothing left to say." Karen no longer wanted to speak to him.

"Come on, Karen, you were about to spill the beans! Tell me, I'm dying to know." Karen shrugged off his touch with a cold detachment, keeping him at arm's length, her eyes tinted with revulsion.

"Don't touch me." Silence fell.

"A minute ago, | had something to say, but now? It's gone." All Karen wanted was to get away from this place, to never lay eyes on Jeffrey again! He was repulsive.

Absolutely repulsive.

"Karen, please, I'm begging you. Just let me know, okay?" Jeffrey's delayed realization dawned on him - maybe she was considering forgiveness. His heart clenched in anticipation! What did this mean? It meant Karen had feelings for him, she couldn't bear to let him go! "Is there really any need to know?" Silence again.

"Jeffrey, go home to your daughter. Don't make me despise you more." Karen knew this was the end of the road for them.

And the child...

Well, was there even a question? "Karen, believe it or not, I'm crazy about you. | wanted a lifetime with you!" Jeffrey reached out, hoping to pull her back, but his hand hovered in the air before falling back in despair. "I'm sorry for hurting you. If I'd known about Paige and me, | would've never pursued you. Can you believe me? | really didn't know!" "Yeah, | believe you." Deep down, Karen didn't think Jeffrey was all that terrible, which is why some of the disgust faded.

She didn't want a breakup to turn ugly.

His confession today proved that he was just a mess before. Even if he had considered keeping it from her, in the end, he chose honesty. So, she didn't blame Jeffrey and believed he had just found out about the child.

But the existence of her own child would likely remain unknown to him.

Karen wouldn't follow in Paige's footsteps; having Dorothy as an example was more than enough. Besides, Dorothy dared to have two kids for Everett because he was her one and only, forever closed to anyone else. But Karen was different.

She wasn't in love with Jeffrey. Not to that extent.

Cutting losses now was the best outcome for both of them.

"|..." Jeffrey wanted to say more, but Karen cut him off.

"Go, | don't blame you. We're adults, and we have to live with the choices we make. | agreed to be with you, so | can't blame anyone else for the outcome. And you, you chose your moments of pleasure with Paige, so now it's only right that you take responsibility for her and your child.” "Karen, I'm planning to leave Eldorria City. You don't have to worry about me bothering you again.” "Good." Her response was merely a nod, her face void of emotion.

It was this kind of reaction that hurt the most.

"So, there's really nothing else you want to say to me?" Jeffrey couldn't bear the thought of her walking away, each glance feeling like the last, wishing he could savor the sight without blinking.

"Nothing." "Then tell me the truth, what you were about to say? Were you thinking of getting back together with me?" Jeffrey had to ask.

Karen lowered her gaze, pulling at the corners of her mouth. "Does it matter?" "It matters! | need to know." She paused for a moment before being honest, "Yes and no. | hadn't really made up my mind." But it didn't matter now. She had made up her mind.

"You still care about me, don't you?" "Jeffrey, | have no intention of playing stepmom."
