His attention was solely on Laura, not the baby

She had lost weight. The flesh she had in her cheeks, chest, and hips were not as thick as before. Still, Forrest thought she looked beautiful nonetheless.

He stood up from the chair and called her name. "Laura." His voice was soft while his eyes explored her face with affection.

Laura took a seat opposite him. Forrest grinned. He was overjoyed to see her after a very Long time “Laura, do you know that I've been missing you since you left me?"

Laura looked up at him. Her round eyes under thick eyelashes were filled with mixed emotions. She couldn't bear to see him even if it was only a short time. But she didn't allow herself to be softhearted. She couldn't. So, she said coldly, "I'm married. This is my child."

Her words hit Forrest hard! They were Like sharp knives piercing the flesh of his heart.

Only after she said those words did Forrest look at the baby carefully.

Sadness flashed in his eyes as his smile dropped. He stuttered, “What... What did you say? Did you say that you are married?"

Not hearing her reply, Forrest Lost it and stood up abruptly. He said, "I don't believe it!"

He knew Laura loved him, and so much at that.

It was impossible for her to marry another man and have a child with him. Even if she left him, he believed it was because Laura had her own reasons. But it was definitely not because she Loved another man!

“Don't try to make me give up in this way. I won't believe you!" Laura reminded him, “Don't be so Loud. You will frighten Joe."

At first, Forrest didn't realize what she meant and furrowed his brows. Later, he looked into her arms and asked, “Is his name Joe?"

Laura nodded her head. Persistent to make him stop following her, she said, “This is my child. That is the reason why I didn't say goodbye to you when I left. It is my fault. I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry Please forgive me. I don't love you anymore. I eloped with another man and betrayed you. Please forgive me."

Laura was saying so seriously. With that, Forrest started losing control of his emotions, making his expression change dramatically

“Are you really... You don't want me anymore?"

Laura heard his voice. He sounded heartbroken, which almost made her comfort him. But she refrained herself and looked down at Joe. Pretending like she was coaxing the baby, she said, "That's true.”

Forrest's fists clenched tightly without her knowing. He pursed his lips as if he was swallowing back all the words he wanted to say to her.

He finally said, “If you fall in Love with someone else, why did you leave without saying goodbye? You have kept me waiting." His tone was no longer soft or affectionate. In fact, he sounded like he was forcing out the words from his mouth.

“I'm sorry. "I don't want to hear your apology!" Forrest then stormed out of the cafe.

The moment he left, Laura could no longer disguise herself. Her calm expression changed into a sad one as she went into a daze.

Everything was over. The relationship she shared with Forrest had come to an end. She had wanted it. But she didn't feel happy at all.

She was sad, and extremely at that.

But she couldn't help it. She had to break his heart and hers as well in order to save themselves from more severe heartbreak.

Laura took some time to calm herself before she finally left with Joe.
