But Neville stayed quiet.
“Please, tell me!” Her emotions were on the verge of breaking.
Finally, Neville pulled away, took a deep breath, and faced her.
“It’s because I don’t love you anymore.”
A sudden realization washed over Miley, bringing with it a crystal-clear clarity she had never experienced before. The truth hit her like a ton of bricks, causing tears to well up in her eyes.
She gave Neville a blank look. “What did you just say?”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Neville restrained the impulse to wipe her tears as a pang hit his heart.
He looked away, took a deep breath and said, “I really loved you when we were together before. But I don’t feel that way anymore.

She wiped her face and said, “I’ve been feeling like we’re drifting apart lately. It’s not just because you’ve been busy with work, is it? I can sense that you’ve been wanting to leave me, haven’t you?”

She turned away, wiping tears, trembling with despair.
Neville’s face twisted in pain, eyes reflecting his inner turmoil.
He clenched his teeth and forced himself to continue. “Get some rest now. I’m leaving now.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
The sound of his footsteps echoed in Miley’s head, and she wished desperately that it was all a joke.
But Neville didn’t return; the closed door marked the end.
The room grew hauntingly silent, only her shallow breaths were audible.
Tears streaming down her face, Miley looked helplessly to the door.
