Chapter 574 Let You Go
After leaving the children's room, Jason and Aletta went to freshen up and rest.
On the other side, Flora chased after Ray and arrived at a bar.
She turned off the car and hurriedly rushed inside to look for Ray, The bar was crowded with people, and the music played was deafening.
Flora felt annoyed, and a surge of irritability overwhelmed her at that moment.
She had been here with Ray a couple of times before and knew that he usually sat at the same spot on the second floor.
Soon, Flora made her way to the VIP section on the innermost part of the second floor.
Ray was sitting there, surrounded by a group of friends, with several bottles of whiskey on the table. He had an air of not leaving until getting drunk.
In addition to that, there were several heavily made-up and seductive girls sitting on the sofa nearby. One of them was leaning over, provocatively pouring alcohol for Ray while getting closer to him.
She spoke in a coquettish voice, "Ray, it's been a while since you came. Let me toast to you!"
Her tone was deliberately flirtatious and pleasing.
Ray instinctively tilted his head, feeling a nauseating scent of cosmetics emanating from the woman. It was mixed with the smell of cheap perfume, which was extremely pungent.
It couldn't compare to the delicate fragrance that Flora carried, which was natural and pleasant.
Ray's expression stiffened, and he paused for a moment.
'Missing' had become a habit when it came to women he cared about.
But tonight, all sorts of thoughts uncontrollably raced through his mind.
He felt uncomfortable.
His complexion turned somewhat unpleasant as he prepared to refuse the woman who was being attentive to him.
But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Flora's figure...
Immediately, he changed his mind and said, "All right..."
He picked up his glass and clinked it with the woman.
Flora, who was watching, furrowed her brows. She walked over, and snatched the glass, forcefully placing it on the table. "Sorry, he won't be drinking this," Flora declared.
The girl who was offering the toast was initially taken aback and then asked dissatisfiedly, "Who are you?"
She had finally managed to get Ray to clink glasses with her. If she could please him and make him happy, she might have a chance to spend the whole night with him.
She would be able to enjoy a luxurious life afterwards with just one night...
However, her plans were interrupted by a woman, who appeared and disrupted everything out of the blue!
As a woman, how could she not understand the other's intentions?
Flora sneered, exuding a domineering aura, and said, "I'm his girlfriend!"
The girl was shocked, her eyelids were twitching as she couldn't help but confirm, "Ray, is this true?"
Ray felt a complicated emotion stirring within him.
If it were any other time, he would have been overjoyed by Flora's actions.
But as the thought crossed his mind that Flora didn't truly love or trust him, Ray felt upset. He replied coldly, "Who knows? Maybe it won't be for long..."
As he finished speaking, he snatched the glass over and drank it all, his eyes were filled with a hint of self-mockery.
The girl's eyes brightened upon seeing that she still had a chance, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
A hint of displeasure appeared on Flora's delicate and beautiful face.
She had a fiery temper, and if it were any other time, she would have turned and left.
But tonight, she was in the wrong, so she took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Ray, I was wrong and I apologize to you! Please don't be angry, okay?"
Ray's heart was softened upon hearing her words.
He berated himself inwardly but still looked up and glanced at Flora.
She had an obvious sense of urgency and remorse in her eyes.
It was the first time he had seen Flora display such an expression, and his anger dissipated, replaced by a trace of tenderness that he didn't notice.
However, he didn't forgive her right away. Instead, he began to understand something.
Their relationship had been rushed, and there were indeed some issues between them.
Recalling the past, when she agreed to be with him, it was likely due to the sweet atmosphere of Jason's proposal and the alcohol.
And now, she had thoughts of retreating just by casually reading a piece of fake news. Perhaps she didn't love him that much. Thinking of this, a feeling of discomfort welled up in Ray's chest, and he thought to himself: Since that's the case, it's better not to force her.
So, he pinched his brow and said to the people around him, "Please spare us a moment."
The gentleman beside him was elever and quickly led his group away, including the girl who had been toasting. They left.
In the private section, left only Ray and Flora.
Ray composed himself, raised his gaze, and stared at Flora. He said, "I was wrong before. I pushed you too hard and didn't give you enough time to consider clearly before we start our relationship."
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued. "Tonight's incident made me realize that you are ready to let go of this relationship at any time. But I'm sorry, perhaps I appear carefree and uninhibited, but I'm serious when it comes to relationships My parents have a good relationship and never allowed me to fool around outside. My upbringing has always been strict, and if I like someone. I will continue to like them. So. Flora if you don't intend to be with me for a long time. I'm willing to let you go I will explain to my family, and I won't let you be troubled in the future Fortunately, you haven't gotten too deeply involved yet, so you can still walk away unscathed!"
Flora was completely caught off guard by these words.
She stood there, completely stunned with her mind blank!
"I'm not... I didn't..."
She wanted to explain, but Ray interrupted, saying. "You don't have to deny it now. Go back and consider carefully, then let me know your decision. I will respect your choice regardless of the outcome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ray stood up and left.
Flora remained rooted to the spot.
The once wise, capable, and dazzling beauty now appeared somewhat lost.
It wasn't until a faint, tingling pain emerged in her heart that she regained her senses.
She couldn't understand how things had come to this. She thought an apology would mend their relationship
But this time, Ray was angry...
She knew very well that she didn't want to reach the point of breaking up with Ray.
If it wasn't love, then what was it?
However, Ray had left too quickly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the gentleman who had been drinking at the section approached. He said, "Miss Flora, Ray asked me to escort you back. He said it's unsafe for a young lady like you to be here alone."
