Chapter 1502:

    Later, Bruce proposed, hoping to keep her close. Given the time they spent together, Corrine couldn’t deny her growing feelings, and when marriage was suggested, she saw it as potentially joyful and did not resist.

    However, Bruce left her for Leah, and only after meeting Nate did Corrine truly understand the meaning of love. It wasn’t the quiet stability she once had with Bruce.

    When sheter learned the truth—that Nate had been the one who saved her in Forestvale—it felt like fate had yed a cruel joke. Calling it all a misunderstanding was, indeed, urate.

    Still, Corrine had no desire to exin the story to Bruce. Not out of pity or any other feeling, but simply because she saw no point in wasting words on someone who had be a stranger.

    Her gaze was icy as she said, “The past is behind us. There’s no need to dwell on it.”

    With that, she turned and walked away without looking back. Her message was clear: no anger, no forgiveness, just closure. From now on, they were nothing to each other.

    Yet her detachment wounded Bruce deeply, making him feel as if his heart were being crushed.

    He wished she at least hated him fiercely—even if it meant being enemies—because that would still mean some kind of connection.

    As he watched her retreating figure, pain flickered across his face. “We can’t just end it like this…”

    He reached out instinctively to stop her, but Corrine saw iting. She shifted just enough to avoid his touch.

    Her eyes, sharp and unyielding, met his. “Was I not clear enough?”

    “Corrine, we can’t walk away like this. I failed you. I hurt you. If you want to hit me, scream at me, whatever you—”

    What he couldn’t bear was how easily she was willing to let go of the matter.

    Corrine let out a coldugh, her lips curling with scorn. “Is this your idea of seeking redemption? Don’t you hear how absurd that sounds? When I begged you to stay, you turned your back without a second thought. And now that I’ve stopped looking back, you want punishment to make peace with your guilt? You once told me you loved Leah and spent three years with me trying to forget her, yet you never did. Have you really forgotten her now? Bruce, really think about it—did you ever truly love her?”

    Bruce’s eyes flickered, revealing his sudden loss for words.

    Corrineughed coldly again, disdain filling her expression. “Honestly, you’ve never loved anyone but yourself. Whether it’s your so-called realization or your guilt, it’s all just to soothe your own ego.”

    He used to dismiss her words, but now he was devastated—not because of lost love, but because he realized he had squandered his chance to align himself with the Ford family.
