Free Web NovelChapter 522: Chapter 522: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (22)
She was touched by his words, but she hadn’t forgotten what Leo had told her before.
Holding back tears, her voice choked with emotion. "But didn’t you say that if Amelia hasn’t found happiness, we don’t have the right to get married?"
Leo Joyce anxiously grabbed Tiana’s hand and explained, "Yes, I did say that. That’s why we’re just getting engaged. Once Amelia finds her other half, we’ll..."
But before he could finish, Tiana yanked her hand away. Her face turned deathly pale. It was as if she suddenly understood everything...
’They were just getting engaged. That didn’t mean they were getting married...’
’I read too much into it...’
"Tiana..." Leo Joyce called out anxiously, seeing the distraught look on her face.
But Tiana Grayson took a step back and slapped his hand away. Holding back tears, she said coldly, "Leo, I won’t get engaged to you."
"Why?" Leo Joyce’s handsome face hardened, and his voice trembled.
Tiana Grayson finally broke down in tears. "I won’t get engaged to someone who doesn’t even love me!" she screamed.
"Who said that? I love you! I do love you!"
"Then what about Amelia Avery?" ’Maybe I shouldn’t be asking this,’ she thought, ’but I just can’t accept it...’
Amelia Avery was her best friend. She knew that Amelia and Leo Joyce could never be together. And yet, she still couldn’t accept it.
Maybe she could have accepted it in the past, but not now.
She couldn’t accept the Leo Joyce who pushed her away so fiercely over anything related to Amelia Avery. She couldn’t accept the Leo Joyce who only talked about Amelia whenever they were alone. She couldn’t accept the Leo Joyce who had nothing to say to her unless it was about Amelia...
’Did a man like that truly love her? Probably not. She didn’t understand why Leo Joyce would want to be with her when he was so clearly in love with Amelia Avery...’
’If Leo was really in love with Amelia and couldn’t forget her, I could just let him go!’
’It wasn’t like I *had* to be with Leo Joyce...’
Tiana’s sudden accusation made Leo Joyce’s heart pound with panic. "Amelia... she... she..."
Seeing Leo so nervous he was speechless, Tiana gave a self-mocking laugh. She turned, walked to the door, and reached for the handle to leave.
Seeing this, Leo Joyce grabbed her tightly. "Tiana, please, believe me. Amelia and I are just friends."
"Leo, I believe you. Of course I believe that you and Amelia are just friends."
"Then why..." ’If she believed him, why was she questioning him like this?’
Tiana steadied her emotions. Her tone was no longer as aggressive as before, but unnervingly calm. "Leo, I just want to understand one thing. Why are you with me? If you really can’t let go of Amelia, we can end this."
Leo Joyce’s unease instantly turned to anger upon hearing her words. His face darkened as he snapped, "What are you talking about?!"
"I’m not talking nonsense. You can’t let go of Amelia Avery, can you? When you heard she was in danger, you were the first to rush to her side. At the airport, when you heard Cassian Jennings liked her, you pushed me aside without a second thought to run after her. Leo, I regret it now. I can’t accept being with a man who is in love with Amelia Avery."
