Novel1Chapter 410: Silence stretched between them, thick and heavy.
Finally, she spoke again, her voice steady. "Have you made your decision?" Brian moved closer, his eyes bright and soft as he looked at her. “I remember you once said you loved children,” he murmured. "You wanted two, didn't you?" "Yes," Rachel admitted without hesitation. "I once said that." Back then, she had said those words to please him. But now, with everything ending, there was no reason to pretend anymore. She had no reason to hide the truth now.
"What if I told you I wouldn't mind having kids?" Brian asked.
Rachel let out a faint smile. “Really? It doesn't matter now, though. Because when I choose a husband, he'll be someone who truly loves children." Brian's expression stiffened. A sudden madness gripped him, like a wave crashing against his mind. How foolish had he been to think that merely agreeing to have children would be enough to make her stay? The thought was absurd.

The end had arrived faster than she had expected. She had assumed she'd feel a sense of relief, but there was none. Instead, all she felt was a vast emptiness-loneliness, disappointment, and a dull, aching pain.
Deep down, she knew—this time, there was no going back. There was nothing left between them. Everything they had built, every memory, would soon fade into nothing, dissolving like smoke in the wind.
No matter how many times she had braced herself for this, no matter how often she had repeated in her mind that this was the right choice, the actual moment was far more painful than she had ever anticipated.
"Okay," she forced a weak smile, her lips barely moving as she whispered the word.
"But I have one condition," Brian said as he took a step closer.
"And what's that?" she asked.

"Letkiss you... just one last time." This time, Rachel didn't resist. She rose onto her toes, closed her eyes, and pressed her lips to his first. If this was truly the last time, she wouldn't let it be hesitant or halfhearted.
But within moments, Brian took the lead. His kisses had always been possessive, demanding. But this time, he was different-slower, gentler, as if he wanted to savor every second, as if he was memorizing her.
Again and again, he kissed her, as if he could imprint her essence onto his soul, as if he could make her a part of him. Her familiar scent wrapped around him, pulling him deeper, making him forget everything else.

Under the soft glow of the night, they clung to each other as if the world beyond them no longer existed.
But even the most intoxicating moments had to cto an end As they finally pulled apart to catch their breath; Rachel leaned in, her lips grazing his one last time.
A soft sigh escaped her lips before she slowly stepped back, letting the space between them grow. "It's late," she murmured. "You should get srest."
But Brian hesitated, his fingers lightly tracing her lips. At first, his touch was soft, almost hesitant, but then it deepened, becoming more urgent. Unable to hold back, he leaned in, wanting to kiss her again.
