Cole must have seen Zacharias holding Shirley's hand that morning. Did Cole
just pass. up the chance to be with her?
At this moment, Shirley had already arrived at Cole’s door. She took a deep
breath and knocked on it.
Thinking it was someone coming for work- related matters, he got up to open the
door. However, he didn't expect to find a slender, tall figure standing outside with
snowflakes still clinging to her hair.
“Shirley! H-How did you come here?” He was surprised and taken aback.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?” Shirley asked through clenched teeth.
“I was packing my things, and my phone was on silent.” Cole gave an excuse.
She entered his room and saw that he was indeed packing a suitcase. Her chest
ached. “Are you planning to leave without even saying goodbye?”
Cole looked at Shirley with a pained expression. He didn’t expect to hurt her like
this, but now that she was here, he felt more at ease talking to her face-to-face
before leaving. “Please sit down. Let's talk.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Isn’t this good enough for us? Why do
you have to leave?”
“Shirley, I'm sorry, but I don't belong here. I have a more important mission to
fulfill,” Cole said in a low voice.
She also understood that being a bodyguard was limiting him. He should have a
better and brighter future. “Please don’t go,” she pleaded.
“Shirley, I've already made up my mind. Thank you for liking me. I will remember
our friendship, and I wish you find a better person to love,” Cole hinted. He knew
there was already an outstanding and better man by her side.
“I have no relationship with Zacharias. This morning, it was him intentionally
holding my hand that led to your misunderstanding. If there's a
misunderstanding, I can explain it clearly,” she hurriedly explained. She was truly
upset, to the point of almost crying. At her age, she couldn't control her emotions,
and she didn’t know how to retain someone who was about to leave.
After listening to Shirley's words, Cole felt even more relieved. Knowing that
Zacharias liked her and realizing his fortune in being liked by her, he held a
glimmer of hope that she might transfer her affection to Zacharias, allowing him
to depart with peace of mind. At the same time, she could have a brighter future.
“Shirley, I'm not the right person for you. Zacharias is the one who suits you,” he
said calmly.
She was taken aback, and tears welled up in her eyes. He handed her the tissue.
“Please don’t cry. You deserve someone better. The country trained me to fulfill a
greater mission. My life is destined to be transient. I've thought it through; I won't
marry in this lifetime.”
Asingle tear rolled down her cheek. At this moment, she felt helpless in the face
of a love that was destined to end abruptly.
Cole picked up the small bear doll Shirley had given him and handed it back to
her. “Take this back. Give it to someone you cherish.”
She took it with tears in her eyes and looked up at him. His resolute and calm
demeanor only made her feel more lost. “Cole, I will remember you wherever you
go. Please take care of yourself.” She took the small bear doll while suppressing
her downcast emotions.
