Chapter 260 Some Words Can't Be Taken Back

Bella nervously recounted what she had seen. After listening to what had happened, Dominic was a bit angry and let out a cold laugh. "So, can you work on that bad habit of keeping things bottled up now?!!

Bella nodded slightly. She was clearly in the wrong this time. She was so stunned back then that she didn't know how to ask him directly, which led to a series of misunderstandings.

He took a deep breath, trying to control his frustration. He walked into the house and said, "The woman who helped me choose the watch is new to the company. I just thought she had a good eye for these things. I'm not great at picking out gifts for women." Was he explaining himself?

With her head lowered, Bella silently followed him. Not realizing he had suddenly stopped, she walked right into his solid back.

She rubbed her nose and quickly apologized, "Sorry."

With a dark expression, he shoved the box with the pink diamond back into her hands. "I'm not accepting your apology. Some words, once said, can't be taken back. You should think about that."

Mustering her courage, Bella said, "Apart from saying we should break up, I admit I said things I shouldn't have. I thought we were better off the way we were before.

"Being together isn't as perfect as I had imagined it to be. You've never liked me that much anyway, right? Let's stop torturing each other."

She forced a faint smile, hoping to end this ridiculous stretch of days on a light note,

However, Dominic's expression wasn't as calm as she had hoped. Was it her imagination, or was he feeling hurt?

"You always think you know everything, don't you?" he asked.

He soon disappeared from her sight, leaving her standing there.

The lights in his room weren't switched on for a

time. What could he be thinking in the darkness?

Unsurprisingly, Bella found herself unable to fall asleep that night. Lying in bed, she video-called Lia and explained the whole situation.

Lia was a fence-sitter. She immediately changed her tune when she heard it was a misunderstanding

"I thought something was oft. He doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Sametimes, your eyes really can deceive you. Well, I'm glad the misunderstanding is cleared up. Just apologize sweetly. Guys can't resist when a woman acts cute,

Bella thought for a moment before responding, "I'm still sticking to the breakup because there's no point in continuing this relationship. I've always been the one following his lead, the passive one.

"Getting together was his idea, and not breaking up would also be his decision. Can't I be the one to end it? If this is just some cruel joke of his, I'm not playing along. You can call me a coward or a softie, I don't care."

Lia hit her with the most critical question, "Can you really let go? joke or not, right now, he's still yours. Once you break up, you'll be nothing to each

other.

"If it were me, I couldn't do it. The problem with you two is it has always been way too complicated from the start. Even watching you guys is exhausting Bella couldn't deny that she was tired of well

Seeing her hesitate, Lia sighed. "So, when you told him you wanted to break up, what did he say?

Bella buried her face in her pillow. "He said, "You always think you know everything, don't you? I don't even know what he meant by that."

Lia was not an expert in relationships herself. She replied, "If you don't know, then I' doesn't sound like he agrees to the breakup. Anyway, forget about it. We've got work tomorrow. Get some sleep"

I'm clueless too. Who knows what's going on in his head? But it

Bella ended the video call, and the world plunged into a deafening silence. The worst part was that her mind remained painfully alert in the quiet. Wide awake, she felt the crushing isolation of the night. It felt as if the world had forgotten her completely. She took out the brooch she bought for Dominic and stared at it for a long time. How did it get to the point where she didn't even have a chance to give him his gift?

In the end, she couldn't hold back. Picking up her phone, she sent him a message, "Are y

you still awake?"
