Chapter 280 Delete You? Couldn’t Do It
But when <b>James </b>saw the message she had sent, it felt like his heart was being torn apart. Yesterday had been her wedding. He said he’d been too busy that night, but on his wedding night, what else could he possibly have been busy with
In that instant, every word on <b>the </b>screen turned into a barbed arrow, stabbing straight through him. <b>A </b>thousand arrows <b>pierced </b>his heart, leaving him wishing he were dead. Lille… really didn’t want me anymore.
The study window was open, and <b>the </b>air flowed freely through the room, yet he still clutched his chest, gasping for air, a suffocating pressure weighing down on him.
The endless ache and sourness consumed his heart; for a moment, he didn’t even have the strength to hold the phone in his hand. He froze in pain for a long while before finally mustering enough energy to grip the phone again.
His fingers trembled so violently <b>that </b>it took several tries before he could even type.
He didn’t want Le to get married.
He didn’t want her to take a wife or have children. But seeing her marry and settle down had been his grandfather’sst wish.
And now she had married. She had consummated the marriage. He couldn’t shamelessly interfere and tear them apart.
He couldn’t bear to put her in a difficult spot; he couldn’t bear to make her unhappy.
All he could do was let go and bless her.
Lillse, congrattions on your wedding.”
Normally, he typed quickly. But now, those few words felt like they had drained everyst ounce of strength from <b>his </b>body.
Turning his face to the side, away from the searing pain of the message on his screen, he forced himself to continue typing after a long pause.
“Wishing you and your wife a lifetime of joy <b>and </b>a beautiful <b>family</b>.”
The moment he sent the message, it <b>was </b>like his soul had slipped away. He sat there in a daze, staring at the screen as it slowly dimined to ck.
He desperately wanted her to reply–but at the same time, he was terrified she actually would.
A few secondster, Lallse’s reply came,
Thanks
Just that one word was enough to stuff out everyst trace of the tenderness and ambiguity that had once
existed between them.
It was over, Completely.

He wanted to say <b>one </b>more <b>thing</b>. Lille, please be happy.
But he couldn’t type those words, because deep down, he wanted her happiness toe from him. He wanted to be the one to give it to her.
But now, all he could do was watch from a distance, like a pitiful outsider hiding in the dark, quietly stealing nces at her happiness.
James, from now on, whether in real life or online, let’s not contact each other anymore. Please delete me from your friends list
She <b>wanted </b>them to delete each other. James‘ fingers trembled so badly he could barely hold his phone. Still, he forced himself to type: “Okay”
She must’ve already deleted him–she didn’t reply after that. He tapped on her profile picture.
He knew she had started a brand–new life. Deleting each other, never disturbing one another again–<b>that </b>was the right thing to do. The mature thing. But no matter how many times he went <b>back </b>and forth <b>into </b>her profile. he just couldn’t bring himself to press “Delete.”
Almost in despair, he <b>thought</b>. Fine. Let it be. Just delete me
As for him, he would keep her in his friends list forever. asionally, he’d nce at her cartoon <b>avatar</b>… sometimes, he’d let himself miss <b>that </b>ugly yet adorable face of hers. That would be enough.
Lillse. I’m sorry…
Thinking about how he couldn’t stop himself from remembering Lily too, James gripped his phone tight, eyes red, whispering through clenched teeth. “I’m sorry…”
He truly felt like there wasn’t a more disgusting man on Earth than him.
His parents had always taught him to be loyal–to love one person with all his heart. He had solemnly promised them that he, James, would never be fickle. Never break someone’s heart.
But in the end, he had failed them and betrayed his own heart.
He loved Le, only Le, yet he couldn’t stop the illicit feelings he had for Lily, and that made him feel vile, shameful, and unworthy of anyone’s love. No wonder Le didn’t want him and his heart felt like it had been torn to pieces,
But James was wrong–Lily hadn’t deleted him from her contacts. She, too, kept going <b>into </b>his profile again and again, but no matter how many times she tried, she <b>just </b>couldn’t bring herself to hit “Delete” After struggling with it for a while, she finally tossed her <b>phone </b>aside and told herself, Fine. Let it be
again
She had already lied and told him she was married. With his personality, he would never contact her
And she believed time would dull the <b>pain</b>. He would eventually <b>meet </b>someone he truly loved.
She would bless them…..
