Chapter 1447
Even though she was dining alone, Simona still ordered her favorite dishes.
As she chatted with friends on her phone while enjoying her meal, someone suddenly sat across from her.
When she looked up, she realized it was Stephen. Her expression immediately soured. "Why are you here?"
Stephen was visibly displeased by her attitude. "We were a couple. No matter what's happened lately, you shouldn't treat me like this when we meet. Simona, you're breaking my heart."
Simona rolled her eyes. "Enough. Don't start."
Over the past few days, she had taken a hard look at their relationship. The more she thought about it, the more she realized how foolish she had been. It was as if she had lost her ability to think.
From the very beginning, Stephen had been manipulating her with all sorts of tactics, making her believe that since she had money, she should spend more so they could both be happy.
But in truth, it was all part of his scheme.
Stephen appeared to have a strong sense of pride and reacted dramatically when treated differently. But in reality, he was just a shameless person. He was perfectly content to benefit from others' sacrifices.
It baffled her how she hadn't noticed such a despicable trait before. Maybe it was due to her lack of experience or an unwillingness to think so poorly of people.
Stephen frowned. "It's been so many days, and you still don't get it? I've been waiting for you to call me.
"Simona, are you saying that our relationship can't weather even a small storm? You used to say you loved me."
Simona snorted coldly. "That was because I wasn't seeing things clearly. I have improved now, so not just anyone can come to me. I don't want to argue in public and disturb others, so get lost."
At that moment, Simona realized she had completely lost any feelings for Stephen.novelbin
Yesterday, just recalling their relationship had made her uncomfortable. But now, seeing Stephen in person, she felt only one thing-he was utterly repulsive.
Stephen narrowed his eyes. On the way over, he had been hopeful that Simona still had some affection for him.
He prided himself on being able to

Even when he made mistakes, they would eventually blame themselves.
Over the past couple of days, he had tried contacting Simona through various platforms, hoping to remind her of their happier days.
But Simona had completely ignored him.
This woman was colder and more ruthless than he had imagined!
"Simona, you've disappointed me. How can you be so heartless? Yes, I was wrong. I let you down. I came here today to apologize.

"From now on, you'll be the only one in my heart, the only one I'll love.
"Simona, I even picked out this emerald charm for you. I knew at first sight that it would suit you perfectly."
As he spoke, Stephen placed the charm in front of her.
Simona remained expressionless, not even sparing it a glance. "I don't need it, and you don't need to apologize to me. Take it away." Stephen's expression darkened, and suddenly, he grabbed her hand.

As if by accident, the knife she had been using to cut her steak nicked her hand. Simona's delicate skin was easily injured, and though the knife wasn't particularly sharp, still left a fine cut that began to bleed immediately.
Stephen quickly pressed the charm against the blood on her hand.
Simona winced in pain and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Snapping back to reality, Stephen repeatedly apologized. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. Let me take you to the hospital right now!"
