Chapter 1262: Cliff's voice broke the silence, low and sharp.
"Was Merrick in our house?" The word 'our' hit Laney like a stone, sending an unwelcripple through her chest. Our house? No, it wasn't hers. This house belonged to the Hopkins family—a place she had never truly felt was home. While she was grateful to Madison for treating her kindly, she knew her there was over.
Laney's hands stilled, but she didn't meet his gaze.

"Leaving? Moving in with him?" Laney didn't respond immediately. Instead, she glanced at his hand.
"Move aside," she said, her tone steady but firm.
"You're blocking my path." Her words only deepened Cliff's suspicions. His voice tightened.
"You've barely known him, and now you're moving in together? Does that even make sense?" Laney met his gaze with steady calmness.
"I'm almost twenty-three, Cliff. I'm legally an adult and old enough to get married. Why shouldn't I live with him?" Cliff felt a sharp pang in his chest. Before she had confirmed it, he'd clung to a shred of hope. But now, her words left no room for doubt—she really was moving in with Merrick.
The thought of Merrick, a known playboy, stirred an uncontrollable worry in Cliff. Could a man like that truly restrain himself tonight? Cliff's frustration boiled over.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Degrade myself? What could possibly be worse than falling for someone like you, Cliff? You touched and kissed me, only to say it was to fulfill my wishes. You never took the final step during our countless intimate encounters. I get it. You wantedto save my first tfor someone else, didn't you? Well, now that I'm with someone else, you don't have to worry aboutbeing a burden. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?" Her words struck him like a blow, and his face turned dark with anger. When he didn't respond, Laney shoved him away with unexpected strength.
Caught off guard, Cliff stumbled, leaving her a clear path to the door. Laney grabbed her suitcase and walked out with a determination he'd never seen in her before.
Watching her defiance only fueled Cliff's anger, consuming any thoughts of apologizing.
"You're right, Laney," he said, his voice icy.
"You're an adult. I have no right to stop you. Just don't ccrying towhen things fall apart."
Laney stopped for a moment and m turned to him, her tone resolute. "You don't have to worry about that, Cliff. I won't."
Cliff clenched his fists, veins pulsing as he fought to contain his emotions. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
