Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1712 Xanthus Had Enough of His Life

However, Jared never reciprocated her love despite her many confessions. She had given up now and

would never bother Jared again.

Cynthia stared strangely at Jared. What was he doing here?

Jared's gaze was like a knife that could penetrate one's heart, staring straight at her. She genuinely

looked ordinary. If she were half as good-looking as that woman, he would gladly accept her.

Sadly...

She wouldn't even get the chance.

Jared looked at her for a while and said, "You got back with Xanthus?"

Stumped, Cynthia was baffled at his words.

"No, why?"

She wasn't afraid he would get the wrong idea. She no longer cared when her confessions led her love

nowhere.

She never took her love life too seriously. Having a partner or not, she'd still have to live her life,

wouldn't she?

But Jared's sudden question stumped her.

"Since you've broken up with him and have no intention of getting back together, why drag him into

your businesses? You could've asked anyone else for help; no need to torment him. Xanthus is madly

in love with you. Since you can't give him anything in return, why hold him back? Don't you think you're

being cruel?"

Cynthia didn't know what to say for a moment.

She realized then he had come to scorn her.

She chuckled under her breath, saying, "Got it."

With a mocking sneer, Jared walked out as he said, "I don't understand why Xanthus would like you

even with that face and that problematic personality."

Cynthia's heart sank as he exited and closed the door.

Jared's harshness was one she had never seen before, even harsher than Santiago. Hence, no matter

how she could never have him.

Perhaps it was because she could never have him that she thought it was even more precious.

Cynthia stared at the door until she heard Xanthus returning to the ward and closed her eyes.

She opened her eyes when Xanthus put the things down.

Xanthus's heart ached when he saw her red and swollen eyes. However, he still smiled after entering

the room. He walked up to her and asked if she wanted to get up and eat something.

"I'm not hungry; you go ahead." Cynthia really wasn't hungry, so she didn't want to eat.

Xanthus put his things down and sat beside her. "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Cynthia shook her head and said, "No, I'm good. It's all thanks to you."

"Good. Stay for observation for a while. It's good if there's nothing else."

"Xanthus." Cynthia looked at Xanthus and spoke with great difficulty, but he only hummed in response.

"You are the nicest person I've ever met."

"A guy in the friend zone will never have a chance with the girl he likes. It's usually a no when the girl

says she'll think about it."

Xanthus said jokingly. Cynthia was caught off guard and felt a little uncomfortable.

After a long pause, she said, "Someone like you will definitely be blessed."

"No need to feel guilty. I never even considered what would be my ideal outcome before I liked you.

Falling in love is falling in love. Simple. If it is a love based on purpose, it is not love, but a purpose."

Xanthus smiled and said, "Cynthia, I liked you and loved you. Although it means the world to me to

have you, losing you wouldn't change a thing."

"What I want ultimately is happiness."

"I'd be happy if you are."

Tears fell from the corners of Cynthia's eyes. "I'm sorry."

"It's no big deal. It's impossible for everyone to love only one person till the end of their life. Even if we This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

miss our chance now, we will still have a chance in the future."

"But you're..."

"Age is not the problem; I can imagine my future wife may not even be born yet."

Xanthus wiped away Cynthia's tears. She hadn't expected such a result, nor Xanthus to be like this.

Their eyes met. No one had thought about the future, but neither of them was feeling the brightest at

this moment.

Love... was unjustifiable!

Saying yes or no would only be a moment's thought.

Xanthus came out of the ward and sat next to Jared. Amused, Jared said, "Do all men become stupid

after they fall in love?"

"How can you fall when there's no love, to begin with?"

Jared looked over at Xanthus. "You're giving up?"

"It's not that I'm giving up. She made a choice; I just ended it."

Xanthus had it all figured out; love was not plunder. Xanthus would not do what Jepherson would.

Jared snorted. "I didn't drive a wedge between the two of you, but you guys decided yourself there's no

need to continue."

It was the first time Xanthus had heard such words and even thought it was ridiculous.

However, he did not refute. He stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk."

Xanthus walked far away from the wards, wandering outside at dawn. Although it wasn't cold right then,

the fog was thick.

Walking under the trees, Xanthus checked his surroundings but could see nothing.

Just like that, he walked in the fog until it dissipated more than an hour later.

The ward was pin-drop silent at this time; Jared had even fallen asleep outside.

Xanthus sat across from him and quietly watched him.

Cynthia was discharged from the hospital three days later, and Xanthus sent her back. Before they

separated, she told him she wanted to go back to Tamberland to check on things.

Xanthus was in a dilemma. "I'm in no position to interfere in this, but the whole of your family is in

shambles. I can't guarantee what will happen if you go back now; you'll be on your own, and no one will

be there to save you."

"I'll be fine. I look different now. My name and nationality are foreign on my passport; I won't be found

out when I go back."

"Since you've made up your mind, go ahead. I'm not forcing my opinion on you. You can do whatever

you want."

Cynthia looked at Xanthus and said, "I understand. Thank you."

Xanthus's first love ended just like that. It ended before it even started.

Reaching home, Xanthus sulked in his car for half an hour after he parked. After entering the house, he

did nothing for the rest of the day.

The manor at this time was extraordinarily quiet; it was an excellent place to watch the stars. Xanthus

sat on a stone and looked at the starry sky until Jepherson appeared.

The two had nothing to say, but Jepherson sat near Xanthus this time.

Xanthus glanced at Jepherson but said nothing. He was not in the mood.

It was said that women would live like the walking dead going through a breakup while men were more

carefree because they were not affectionate.

But at this moment, Xanthus really had enough of his life!
