Kapitel 116: Going Separate Ways

A minute passed and James still hadn't uttered a word. Finally, Ava decided to speak first, "I think it would be best if we go our own separate ways. I'm sure there are plenty of people that are the same age around that can hang out with you and Prince Edward. If you know what I mean." Her voice was shaking as she said those words. 

James was unsure how to take her words. He looked at her straight in her eyes, but she averted her gaze quickly as if she were fighting tears that were about to fall.

His ego was hit tremendously, and the only thing he could do was act bravely, "You're right. We should...go our own separate ways." He then managed to stand up proudly.

He then sadly bid her goodbye before turning to leave without looking back. Leaving Ava still seated. dumbfounded from the way James accepted what she said just like that.

She had to compose herself before making her way to where Gizelle was waiting for her.
