My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1691

Skylar remained silent for a few seconds before responding. "Alright." She decided to respect Wendy's decision.

"The relationship between Aiken and me wasn't as pure and beautiful as it might seem. I knew he didn't really like me, but I clung to him, relying on my connection with Simona, and kept pestering him.

"In doing so, I wasted his time and prevented him from pursuing someone he truly loved. I've seen him with Zera, and I can tell he has feelings for her. So, my departure is best for everyone," Wendy explained.

Even though her relationship with Aiken ended this way, she didn't want others to think of him as someone who cheated.

From the start, they both knew their relationship wouldn't lead to a happy ending. She admitted she was wrong for emotionally pressuring him, so now that they'd parted ways, she hoped they could move on and find peace.

She was also determined to pursue her own life.

Skylar didn't know what to say. Wendy truly was a young woman with a beautiful heart.

"Skylar, I'm really happy now. I've found a place I love, and I plan to settle down here. If there's ever a chance in the future, I'll invite you over," Wendy said, her words filled with serenity and hope for the future.

She had genuinely let go of the past.

Despite her younger years being marked by selfishly pursuing Aiken, she hadn't neglected her career.

She had saved enough money to achieve financial independence, so she could live each day as she wished.

Moreover, she wasn't alone. She would soon have her own family—her baby was due soon.

Skylar, infected by her optimism, smiled and said, "Alright. I look forward to the day we can meet again."

…

After ending the call, Wendy stood up. Her belly had grown noticeably larger this month.

She had just had a prenatal checkup, and the doctor said her baby was healthy. However, the doctor also advised her to take better care of herself.

Wendy already knew her body wasn't in the best condition. She had pushed herself too hard at work over the years, and the past year had been especially draining due to her relationship with Aiken.

She needed an answer.

She couldn't lose Aiken. She loved him.

As she waited pathetically, a car's headlights swept across her.

Zera looked up and saw Aiken stepping out of the car.

"Aiken, are you abandoning me?" she immediately stood up, crying pitifully as she asked.

Aiken had been notified an hour ago that Zera was waiting for him. Despite being told he wasn't home, she had stubbornly stayed.

He frowned when he saw Zera.

However, Zera, seemingly oblivious to his displeasure, walked toward him and cried, "You were the one who approached me and said I was adorable and made me fall for you. So why are you ignoring me now? Are you leaving me?"
