My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason)

Chapter 204

I stood up too. “Wait, really?” | stopped him before he left.

“Yes, do whatever you want, go wherever you like. I‘m not going to stop you, just know that you will alw

ays have a place in my heart. I love you, Jennie

Gomez. Goodbye.” Lance said, but he didn‘t move. He stared at me.

“Thank you, Lance. I know it is a hard decision but you made the right choice. I really appreciate it, I will

come and visit Lexi once in a while, but that doesn‘t mean I‘m here to see you……” | said,

my eyes staring at his. I didn‘t want him to get the wrong idea, he

should know it‘s not that easy to fall for a man who abused me for most of my life.

Lance nodded and reached out his hands. “Can I get one last hug from you, before you and I leave? I j

ust want a hug.”

I nodded and walked into his arms. It was only a hug, I thought. Nothing much. But when I walked right

into his embrace, I could

feel butterflies and bitterness in my stomach. I didn‘t know if I wanted to cry for happiness that I could fi

nally leave, or sadness that I was leaving him.

(After some time, I only realized that Lexi was not the reason why I was feeling that way……)

He hugged me tightly and sniffed me. His head was buried in my neck but he didn‘t kiss me. It was a lo

ng, long hug. Then he pulled me back and stared at my face. He pushe

my face and tucked it behind my ears, then he said, “Jennie, take care, wherever you are planning to g

o. I won‘t ask, but can you at least assure me you won‘t try to get a new man in your life?”

I lowered down my head. “Lance, you know I can‘t promise you that. I‘m not young anymore and I don‘t

want to be single forever, I want a nice husband, a nice family too. You can‘t be this selfish.”

Lance put both his hands on my shoulder and asked me very gently, “Is there really no chance at

all of us being together? Even if it means many, many years later? I can‘t imagine you being with anoth

er man, while we already have a daughter together!” Lance argued.

“I can‘t promise you anything. Goodbye Lance Mason. Take care of my

daughter well. We don‘t owe each other anymore.” I said and got out of his hold.

“Where are you planning to go?” he asked. I didn‘t tell him because I was afraid that he might come int

o my life again.

“I‘m not sure yet. I haven‘t thought about it.” Ilied. I already planned to go to Canada. It was something t

hat I only fantasized but never dared to think about it too much, because I never thought Lance would r

eally let me go this easily, I thought it would be a lot harder than that. Seems like he wasn‘t lying when

he said he has feelings for

1. me.

I was standing in front him, not doing anything and he suddenly pulled me into his arms once again. Wit

hout

any warning, he kissed me on my lips. It was a pure, pure kiss, no tongue

involved.it was a soft and gentle kiss, I could feel his unwillingness in letting me go from his kiss, but I

have decided to leave, for real this time. And to be honest, I was quite happy

and surprised at the same time that he actually agreed to let me off.

The door opened and Leo came in. He‘s back. Lance let go of me and I quickly pulled myself away fro

m him. Leo faked a cough and said, “So, how did the talk go?”

Neither of us said a thing for a moment. Then Lance said, “Jennie will be leaving.” And with that, Lance

left the house.

Leo stared at me with wide eyes. Then, he smiled. “Did brother agree to let you stay with me? Don‘t get

me wrong, I just want to make sure you‘re safe, you can stay here…..”

“No, he agreed to let me go. I‘m leaving this country.” I cut him off.

Leo was shocked. “What? Seriously? No, Jennie you have a daughter

here, and if you really leave, brother would

really mad, you don‘t know how deeply he has already fallen for you…..”

“If he had really fallen deeply for me, he wouldn‘t hurt me in the first

place.” I cut him off again. “He will take good care of Lexi, she‘s better off with him alone. She wouldn‘t

grow up healthily in such a toxic family.” I explained.

Leo didn‘t know how to respond.

“Where are you going then? Are you going to just leave everything behind?” Leo spoke up

after a brief awkward moment of silence.

“I don‘t know. I just know that I‘m

Leaving for… leaving this place for good.” I answered.

“Jennie, come.” Leo pulled my hand

and led me to the balcony. he lit his cigarette and smoked. Now I knew, he didn‘t smoke in front of me l

ast time, because we were a couple. But he didn‘t have any feelings for me anymore now, so

he didn‘t care anymore.

“Smoking is bad for you.” | reminded him and smiled bitterly. What a life, I never expected my life to be

so dramatic. But this time, I could finally live my own life, away from these people.

Leo scoffed and said, “Jennie, sorry for everything Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

that I have done to hurt you. Sorry that I hurt you, sorry that I wronged you. I regret it.”

I smiled and loom at the sky. “It‘s fine, I‘m leaving anyways.”

“I know Tiffany gave you a recording of me and Lance

speaking. I know you won‘t believe me, but brother did that to avoid rumors about you being a mistress.

He thought by blaming the rumors onto Niklaus, people wouldn‘t talk shit about you. But who knew it w

ent the other way……” Leo started to explain.

“I don‘t want to know anymore.” | sighed. I didn‘t want to believe that Lance did that to help me.

“Listen, Jennie. Brother didn‘t wed Tiffany legally because he never wanted to make you his

mistress. He found a way to make deals with Tiffany and lied to her family, she agreed. But then she w

as also the one who wanted to break the deal, but brother didn‘t let her. Brother paid hundred of million

s of dollars to the Abel‘s family just to get rid of Tiffany from his side.” Leo explained.

I didn‘t know why he was telling me this now. I felt like I was about to suffocate. Why was I feeling this

way? One of two of Lance‘s good deeds cannot just cover up the rest of the things he did to me! So, w

hy was feeling a little upset?

I took a deep breath. “I don‘t care anymore, Leo.” And with that, I packed my stuff and left.
