?Chapter 762:


    He turned around instantly, his eyes lighting up with surprise, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips. But it didn’tst long.


    “The guard told me you’ve been standing here too long. People are starting to think you have bad intentions,” Rachel said bluntly. “So I came to tell you to leave.”


    Brian’s hopeful expression faltered.


    “Rachel, I can exin—” he started.


    Rachel cut him off with a calm voice. “There’s no need. Just stop standing around here and go home.”


    “But I waited so long for you toe back, I…”


    Rachel interrupted him mercilessly. “Brian, you’re mistaken. I didn’t just get back. I’ve been home for a while. I came back with my boss, invited him upstairs for dinner, and now I’m only down here because I had to take out the trash. We saw you when we arrived, but I ignored you on purpose.”


    Brian’s bitter smile wavered. “Can’t you spare me a little dignity? Did you really have to expose it like this?”


    Of course, he had seen her walking alongside An. He just didn’t want to admit it.


    But now, she had stripped away hisst shred of self-deception.


    ?????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? g???????ν??????﹐?????


    The way she openly admitted to having dinner with another man without a second thought—it was a clear sign. She didn’t care about him anymore. Not his feelings, not his opinions, not even how he saw her.


    The realization sent a wave of panic crashing over him.


    Rachel’s gaze remained ice-cold. “Since you already know the truth, there’s nothing left to say. You’ve seen everything for yourself. So do yourself a favor and leave.”


    “Rachel!” Brian quickly moved forward, reaching out to grab Rachel’s arm.


    “Let go of me. If you have something to say, say it directly.”


    Right now, Rachel had no patience left for him. She just wanted him to leave. She had worked tirelessly to rebuild her life and had finally found the peace she longed for. So she wasn’t about to let anyone disturb it. There was a time when she thought being a devoted wife and a caring mother was all she ever wanted.


    She had poured everything into making that dream a reality.


    But now, she hade to realize that all she truly needed was a life of peace—free from unnecessary drama and pain.


    And love? That was a luxury she had no interest in anymore.


    “Brian, I’ve moved on. Why do you keep barging into my life, stirring up chaos? Do you enjoy seeing me suffer?”


    The frustration in her gaze drained the fight out of Brian, leaving him deted.
