Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2504

Sophia paused, caught off guard. Jason had asked her this very question before, but back then, she hadn’t had an answer—and she certainly hadn’t given him one.

But now, sitting across from Robin, the answer came to her without hesitation. She met his gaze honestly. “No matter when—ten years ago, or any time since—if I ever had to choose between you and him, I’d always choose him.”

She had once cared deeply for Robin, tried her best for his sake, but Robin had always been more of an ideal to her—someone she admired from afar. Jason, on the other hand, was part of her life, woven into her very being. Losing him would be like losing a part of herself; she wouldn’t know how to go on.

The last light in Robin’s eyes faded. He nodded quietly. “I understand.”

Sophia glanced down at her phone. There was still no message. Usually by now, Jason would have sent her half a dozen texts.

An uneasy feeling crept over her.

A waiter arrived with their food. Sophia said, “You can wrap this up for him, please—we won’t be dining in.”

Robin looked at her, confused.

Sophia reached for her bag. “We’ve said everything that needed saying. I won’t keep you company for dinner. I want to go home.”

Home—her home with Jason.

Robin spoke up. “I ordered your favorite dishes. I thought maybe it could make up for what I missed before, give both of us some closure. Maybe this is the last time we’ll ever eat together. Won’t you stay?”

Sophia’s voice was calm. “It’s over, Robin. Don’t waste your feelings on the wrong person. You’ll find someone else—someone you really love. Treat her well, for both our sakes.”

Robin gave a small, self-mocking laugh, as if chiding himself for realizing too late. He nodded. “Thank you for meeting me today. I get it now. I won’t bother you again. Like you said, we’re breaking up on good terms. I just hope that when you think of me someday, you’ll remember something good.”

Sophia smiled gently. “I will.”

She stood up. “Goodbye, Joe.”

A memory flashed in her mind—her first conversation with him, so long ago. Back then, she’d been nervous and a little excited, working up the courage to speak.

“Hi, are you Robin?”

From that moment, she had chased after him for ten years, just like a teenager idolizing her favorite star—always striving to get closer. Today, she was finally saying goodbye, not just to Robin, but to her own youthful years.

Robin watched her with a wistful, melancholy gaze.
