Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Jackson hands Evely his resignation letter. He s leaving La Mure bright, and her and their fake engagement. He tells Evely that they re not right for each other. He s asked her to trust him, yet she keeps turning to Noah, even when he asked her not to. He s more than jealous; he s also angry. He thought he was okay with Noah being by her side, but now he s not. And he knows that it s not something she can change, so he s leaving. He doesn t even know for sure whether she loves him or not. He feels like he loves much more than she loves him and he wishes she would love him more, but also he knows he can t make her do that. He has plenty of other excuses, like their age difference and how she ll now be his boss, which makes him uncomfortable. He claims he s too proud for that.
