Chapter 7
Gavin was stunned, his throat caught in disbelief as he stared at me. He couldn’t understand why I was treating him this way, but the truth was, he had treated me the same way before.
in more than when he
I had hoped Gavin would understand my point and step back, but instead, he refused to leave, clinging to me tighter than ever, even was chasing after me.
I sighed. “So, for you, the best thing is only what you can’t have, right? Once you get it, you don’t care about it anymore?”
Gavin blinked in confusion “What?”
When he finally realized what I meant, his expression grew darker.
“Vera, how can you think that? Have I not cherished you enough? Haven’t I given you everything you wanted?”
“I bought you whatever you wanted, took you wherever you wanted d to go. I only spent a few days with Lilia, and now you’re making a scene like this?”
I didn’t respond to his questions. Instead, I shrugged and gave him a half–smile.
“Well, if that’s what you think, then I guess there’s nothing more to say.
*Alright, I’ll agree to get back together with you.”
Gavin looked up at me, hope lighting up his eyes.
“But with conditions. I won’t just be with you. I’m also going to be with a senior from my lab. If you get sick, I won’t visit you. If you want to go anywhere, I won’t go with you. If you and him have a fight, I’ll side with him. We’ll have our wedding with him, and if I feel like it, I might try to cheer you up”
Gavin’s eyebrows furrowed with disbelief “Vera, you’re going too far!”
“Am I? I laughed. “This is exactly what you did to me.”
Gavin froze, his mouth opening and closing but no words coming our
After a long pause, he muttered, “I’in sorry. I didn’t realize.”
“Because you gave me enough security, I just assured you’d always be there. So without realizing it, I leaned towards Lilia, thinking I could take care of her first and then come back to you”
Please,
give me another chance”
I shook my head, regret in my eyes. “It’s too late. Really, it’s too late.”
“I’m grateful that you taught me what love Is, but when I gave everything I had to love you, you drained it all away.”
Houring this, Gavin was completely stunned.
Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and no matter what, they wouldn’t stop.
He know the well–he knew that I was quiet by nature and never got angry. Even when he had dragged me out the night before an exam, and I ha e test because of it, I never treated him this coldly.
Speaking to him like this was already the most decisive farewell.

Seriously? I wasn’t even gone five minutes and you’re already enzying up to someone else?”
“Did you cheat on me while we were together? Otherwise, how could you move on so quickly?”
I answered slowly, “That’s mone vour business.”
“Just remember this,” I said with a cold voice, “no matter who I’m with, I will never be with you.”
With that, I hung up, letting Gavin scream and rant on the other end of the line.
Maybe the Instagram post had really stung him, because he went silent for a long time and didn’t show up in front of me again.
I focused on my research and ended up publishing a paper in a top–tier journal. I also won an award for my academic achievements.
When my professor heard the news, he clapped me on the back, looking very pleased.
“Vera, I knew you had a talent for this. You were born for academic research. When you left because of your marriage, I was so disappointed and heartbroken, but I couldn’t do anything about it. I’m just glad you’re back”
I didn’t say anything, just smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ar our graduation ceremony that year, I was the obvious choice to give the valedictorian speech.
The auditorum erupted in applause when I finished
Then the spotlight suddenly swung to one corner of the room, drawing gasps from the crowd. I turned and there was Gavin.

He stepped forward, offering ine the bouquet, watching my reaction with nervous care before speaking.
“Vera, I’m back,” he said softly.
Then, he pulled out a jewelry box and, with reverence, took out a diamond ring.

he choked up as he spoke again,
“I’ve brought the ring back to you. Come back to me, please.”
The crowd, not understanding the full story, started chanting, “Say yes,”
But I just smiled slightly and walked off the stage without a word.
Gavin nasled after me, grabbing my hand. “Look, this is the ring you made for me. Don’t you want it anymore?”
I simply replied, “You forgot, didn’t you? I said I would never be with you, no matter who I was with.”

What had happened? Only he knew the truth.
He should take responsibility for his actions.
After that day,
Gavin seemed to become even more obsessed.
He followed me every day, constantly asiding the same question.
“Vera, you really don’t love me anymore? What happened between us?”
I didn’t answer. Every time he came, I would call the police.
Finally, after numerous trips to the police station, he was forced to undergo a psychological evaluation.

Fine. Actions, will speak louder than words.
But forgiveness? That’s not something I hand out to those who’ve hurt me.
