When Rick saw Kendall crying, the pain in his heart magnified. Finally, he raised his hand and held her face. "Kendall, you aren't choosing between Zayden and me. You are choosing whether you want me or not. It doesn't matter who you choose if you leave me. That is your choice. I just want to know if you really want to give me up."
"I... you... don't force me. I don't want to force you either."
There was nothing else left unsaid.
Even now, she still believed that she was the one who forced him to stay.
Rick smiled. He lowered his head and wiped her face. "Zayden hasn't left yet. You may still have time to leave. But, Kendall, let me tell you clearly. If you leave, don't come back. I don't have such a good temper that I can accept a woman who left me."
"I..." Kendall choked on her words.
Rick let go of her hands and walked out.
She was reluctant to make a decision, so she decided to do another bad thing.
