The Day Silence Spoke novel Chapter 293

He looked at Yesenia, his smile unreadable. “And so?”

“There is no ‘and so.’ I’m confused right now. If you won’t marry me, I can’t find a single reason to justify staying with you.”

Clifford just watched her, saying nothing.

“Look, Clifford, just tell me,” she pressed, “do you even like me?”

“Does it matter?”

“Of course, it matters! If you don’t like me, you have nothing now, and you won’t marry me. Don’t you think I’d have to be crazy to stay with you?”

Clifford nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. You have a point.” He paused. “Get out of the car.”

The last few words hit Yesenia like a physical blow. “What?”

“Get out,” Clifford repeated. “And don’t contact me again.”

“You…”

Suddenly, Yesenia couldn’t speak. Even though she had weighed the pros and cons and prepared herself for this, hearing those words from him sent her heart plummeting into an abyss. It was like being plunged into ice water. An immense panic washed over her, and her face went pale.

That was it. True feelings couldn’t be faked. Her heart had already given her the answer. She was truly in love with him, so much so that she couldn’t even convince herself to leave. On impulse, Yesenia grabbed his arm. “Clifford, I…”

Before she could finish, Clifford cut her off. “You did nothing wrong. Any normal person would think the same way you do, so there’s no need to say anything more.”
