The Good Girl's Revenge
Chapter 117

Chloe's bright eyes fell on Derek, and then she smiled. "The person I love, he's here today.”

All the people present followed her sight and looked up. At first glance, they saw Derek standing there.

The man just stood there casually, but he had an extraordinary and unique temperament. Although they could not see his features clearly, it was haunting to just have a look at him from afar.

"Be together! Be together!”

It was unknown who started to cheer. But there were always people who were happy to see it. Derek frowned. It seemed that he had never expected Chloe to do this

Seeing that he was in silence and probably didn’t want to respond, Asher felt a little anxious and leaned closer to Derek. "There are so many people around. Can you embarrass a girl in public?" Chloe stood on the stage, her hands were actually soaked in a cold sweat. However, she didn't look panicked, still maintaining her elegant and graceful appearance.

Derek saw the weakness in her eyes. At last, he did not refuse.

"Go down, or she'll die of embarrassment.”

Asher hurried Derek down the stairs, and Chloe was relieved. At the moment Derek appeared, she rushed up to hug him. She said emotionally, “I knew you wouldn't refuse me."

Derek's face was expressionless with his hand hanging in the air. He took her out and avoided the sight of the onlookers before pulling away Chloe.

"Why are you so presumptuous?”

Derek's tone was unpleasant and he was used to controlling everything. He hated the feeling of being led by others.

What Chloe had done had crossed his line.

"I..." Chloe looked at the gloominess in his eyes and suddenly felt aggrieved. "I just wanted to show my affection to you. I like you and I want to get you back, so I did it."

"Derek, I know that my willful departure had hurt you a lot, but actually, I was waiting for you at the airport the other night. I thought you would come.”

Derek listened to Chloe quietly.

It was impossible to say that he didn't have a problem with her departure.

Back then, Chloe suddenly said that she wanted to go abroad to pursue her dream and not get engaged to him for the time being. Derek said that if she really left, then they would be over.

He never knew that Chloe had waited for him.

"In those three years, I was struggling. I was wondering why you didn't come to find me. To be determined and not go back to J City to look for you, I persuaded my parents to go abroad and started over. It wasn't until I graduated that I mustered the courage to ask what had happened to you all these years. It was then when I found out that you had been in the hospital bed for three years. You don't know how deeply I regretted then."

"If I had known that you had a car accident for finding me, or if I had known what you had gone through, I would have come back against all odds. Now, it's too late to say that, but I don't want to just give up on you and our relationship, so I'm back. This time, I won't leave.”

Chloe said it with feelings, which was all genuine.

After Derek heard this, he realized that the thorn that he had been burying in his heart was pulled away by something. He felt a long-lost pleasure.

When he woke up, he had thought about what he and Chloe were going to be. But after he heard she explained all the conflicts between the two of them, he finally realized that the relationship was long gone.

He was only unwilling to be ruthlessly abandoned by Chloe. The young love was beautiful but was in the past. The past was the past.

"Chloe." Derek looked into Chloe's eyes and said seriously, word for word. "I'm glad you said that. In fact, I don't blame you.”

A smile appeared on Chloe's face, but she froze when she heard Derek's next words. "After hearing what you said, I realize that our relationship has long gone. 1 did get angry because of your sudden departure. But now, everything is over. We are still friends from now on.”

"Friends?" Chloe smiled uglier than when she was crying.

She thought that Derek would tell her that he didn't hate her and that they could start over again and he still loved her. But she never expected that the answer would be this.

Derek did not relent because she was about to cry. He was a person who did things as he said. Besides, since he had no feelings for her, if he continued to entangle like this, it would only hurt Chloe more.

He no longer... loved her.

"I'm sorry, but I think you should move on as well. Let bygones be bygones.”

Derek pulled Chloe's hand away and was about to leave when she grabbed the corner of his shirt. "Derek, no, I don't want to let bygones be bygones. I know I was wrong. We can start all over again, even if we don't get back together right away..."

"That's not necessary." Derek refused firmly.

He didn't want to be entangled with her like this again and again, or the consequence would be disastrous, "Chloe, I believe you can find a better person.”

Chloe didn't listen at all. She had traveled all over the world but failed to find

a man who she liked and was better than Derek.

"Are you in love with someone else?"

Chloe couldn't help but ask. Otherwise, he wouldn't reject her so firmly, without giving her a chance to develop a relationship.

Derek suddenly thought of Meredith. Although he never admitted it, the only person he thought of at the moment was her.

Derek hesitated for a moment. Although it was only a momentary change of expression, Chloe noticed it.

She knew him too well. He wouldn't be affected by ordinary things.

He must have fallen in love with someone else so that he rejected her so firmly.

"I don't think I need to explain these things to you."

Derek sensed that he had lost his composure. He turned cold and called Asher to come down

"I'll ask Asher to take you home."

After that, he left without any hesitation.

Chloe looked at his back, still tall and charming. But he no longer belonged to her. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a while, Asher came down from upstairs and saw that Chloe's eyes were red. He was stunned, "What happened? Where is Derek?"

The two of them had just agreed to get Derek to agree to get back together with Chloe in public. He thought, even if Derek had resentment, he would not embarrass a girl in public. Thus, as long as he made use of the opportunity, the two of them would naturally reconcile

But it didn't seem to be as smooth as he had expected.
