But Joey just glanced at her and walked straight past.
Stacy’s smile gradually froze.
“Aren’t you even willing to say a word to me now?”
“Isn’t it great that we can be together again as long as you nod?”
“She doesn’t love you anymore!”
Joey stopped, but didn’t turn around.
The bright moonlight poured down, casting through the mottled tree shadows onto him, making him look extremely handsome and cold, impossible to read or understand.
“Joey,” Stacy grabbed his sleeve and cried out, “Willa is just deliberately playing with you, tormenting you, don’t you
understand?!”
Joey finally turned his head slowly, and in Stacy’s incredulous gaze, he spoke word by word.
“I understand, and I am willing.”
The quiet night was so silent that you could almost hear the sound of breathing.
“But Joey, haven’t you always loved me?” Stacy asked in a low voice.
Every breath was like the ebb and flow of the tide, screaming with reluctance.
“You didn’t marry her out of love, and now that you’re divorced, isn’t it a relief for you?”
Joey looked at her quietly, pulled his hand out of Stacy’s grip, and his thin lips slightly parted.
“Stacy, there’s something I made very clear to you from the beginning.”
His voice was colder than the winter night, rational to the point of being icy.
Stacy looked at Joey in front of her, who should have been a very familiar person, but felt exceptionally strange at
this moment.
“I will never give up.”
Stacy was stunned for a long time, mechanically shaking her head: “But… but why?”
“I don’t understand, Joey, why would you give up your whole life to be with someone you don’t love?”
“Stacy, it’s no longer a matter of love or not.” Joey’s eyes had no ripples at all, calm with a hint of death.
