Then why
Two years ago, when I saw the smile on your face when you said that you were going to marry Victor, I knew that he was the only one in your heart. However, even though I accepted that, I couldnt get myself to give up on you. In fact, I had been lying to myself the whole time, convincing myself that you only married him because I didnt make any move back then. Roger sighed deeply and let out a bitter smile.
I actually thought of finally letting go of you. When
I came back from abroad and learned that you were pregnant with his child, I told myself that it might be the right time.
Meanwhile, Rachel pursed her lips, said nothing, and just listened.
Roger chuckled as if mocking himself.
But guess what? I still couldnt. Since the first time I saw you in high school, I fell deeply in love with you. However, it was only until years had passed when I finally realized that. Unfortunately, it was too late. I really wanted to let go, but my feelings for you are buried too deep inside my heart.
When the maid heard Rogers confession, she couldnt help but take a deep breath before looking at Rachels face.
She really thought that Rachel would be moved by Rogers heartfelt speech. But to her surprise, she didnt seem to be touched at all.
The maid couldnt help but be taken aback. If a man like Roger confessed his love to her so affectionately, she knew that she would instantly get choked with her own tears. Then, she would run in his arms without any hesitation.
On the other hand, Rachel remained very calm, as if what Roger had said meant nothing to her. To be exact, she couldnt feel anything about it.

Rachel, you dont need to react. Im not asking for an answer,
Roger explained, worried that Rachel might take it the wrong way.
You dont need to feel burdened. Just think of it as me finally saying the things I had been dying to say. But still, I mean what I said just now. If you are unhappy with him, just say the word. I can take you away. I know it is impossible for you to fall in love with me at once, and I know how hard it is to let go of someone youve loved for a long time. But I can wait. I can wait for you to get over him and accept my feelings.
Roger stared intently into her eyes, trying to read what was on her mind.
Hearing this, Rachel sighed inwardly, knowing that her words were not ruthless enough to let

Roger down.
Im sorry, Roger. You think it is okay? That I dont need to feel burdened? But I do feel burdened about it.
Hearing this unexpected answer, Roger was stunned.
Let me get this straight. Roger, your love is a burden to me
Rachel continued to break his heart, clenching her fists tightly.
I dont care if you can get over me or not, but I dont think we should talk or see each other again. I want absolutely nothing between us. I just came to see you today to say this.
Roger swallowed hard. It was as if he was having a nightmare. He couldnt utter a word. Rachels words were like sharp knives repeatedly stabbing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Of course, Rachel instantly saw how Rogers face turned pale. She had to admit that this time, she tried to hurt him as much as she could.
Rachel took a deep breath to calm herself down before she spoke again.
I think Ive made myself clear. Now, please excuse me. I need to go.
