Becca Reyes, walking with the use of a cane, looked up to see a figure dashing towards her.
She couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Stuart Weston ran extremely fast, leaving his footprints in the Snowfield, snowflakes dancing gracefully onto his body.
Already exhausted from running, he bent down gasping for breath, hands on knees, as soon as he stopped in front of Becca Reyes.
Becca Reyes blinked.
Before she could figure out who had told him, Stuart Weston suddenly looked up, his face filled with anger.
"You’re leaving, why didn’t you tell me?" he gasped for air, rapidly adjusting his aura.
He had just finished morning exercises and, noticing that Flossie Wright hadn’t gone to the cafeteria and feeling somewhat worried about Becca Reyes, had asked around a few questions.
To his surprise, he learned that Becca Reyes was leaving.
Without any hesitation, Stuart Weston ran straight back without even catching his breath.
"I," Becca Reyes’s eyes lowered, her voice betraying a hint of guilt, "forgot."
"You forgot!" Stuart Weston’s eyes widened, his tone suddenly grew fiercer, but no sooner had he finished speaking than his gaze softened again, "You’ve never taken me seriously, have you?"
"It’s fine," Becca Reyes smiled and raised her hand, patting his shoulder with openness, consoling him, "we’ll meet again if it’s meant to be."
Stuart Weston froze immediately.
We’ll meet again if it’s meant to be?
She was leaving and this was what she said to him?
"Becca Reyes!"
Calling out her name with a slightly heavier tone, Stuart Weston grabbed the hand Becca Reyes had used to pat his shoulder, holding it in his.
Becca Reyes frowned slightly.
The grip was strong; Becca Reyes couldn’t break free.
"Let me tell you first, I’m not one to hide things like Rowdy Brightwill, I don’t care about this so-called special Forces, the only reason I came here is for you."
His eyes widened slightly as Stuart Weston spoke clearly, unable to hide his emotional turmoil.
After a stunned moment, Becca Reyes suddenly forced a smile, firmly stating, "You’re lying."
She still remembered how happy Stuart Weston was when he was selected.
He was looking forward to coming here.
Not like—
What he said.
"Fine, assume I lied," Stuart Weston slightly loosened his grip, his eyes gradually returning to a calm state," but I’ll still keep bothering you."
"You want to give up?" Becca Reyes instantly knitted her brows.
"That’s my choice."
Stuart Weston looked resolute, as if he had made up his mind.
The words of protest and rebuke that reached her lips were swallowed down by Becca Reyes.
What to say?
She didn’t even know herself.
She really didn’t want to ruin him.
Yet, she had said no countless times, which had never worked.
Stuart Weston was like chewing gum stuck to you, impossible to shake off.
"There’s no need," Becca Reyes squeezed out three words from her mouth.
"I won’t see you off."
His furrowed brow relaxed as Stuart Weston suddenly let go of her.
Becca Reyes’s expression, however, was tinged with an undeniable gravity.
"Stuart Weston," Becca Reyes gripped her cane tightly, her gaze cold, each word deliberate as she asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Standing before her, Stuart Weston replied without hesitation.
He did it on purpose.
Purposely telling her that he would leave because of her.
Even if she knew, what difference would it make?
She was Becca Reyes, not Flossie Wright, unable to keep everything clear and distinct.
