Chapter 65: Hazen's Whereabouts Unknown

Commander Kyle assessed Eliza from head to toe. She didn't seem to be the type of woman he liked. 

"Is it because I'm into men now?" he thought. 

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you planning how to propose?" Eliza said, noticing Kyle's silence. 

"There's something I want to say," Kyle said seriously. 

Eliza blushed even harder. "What is it?" she asked shyly. 

"Well, I'm sorry, but it wouldn't work between us. I left you before because I thought that maybe I'd be able to see your sincerity someday, but…" he sighed, "we can't be together," Commander Kyle said seriously. 

The smile on Eliza's face froze. "Ca... can't be… be to—" she stammered, unable to process Kyle's words. 

"Yes, I'm sorry, but you have to move on," Commander Kyle said. With that, he stood up to leave. 

"No, please! Don't go, Kyle. I love you," Eliza said, already crying. Her tone was filled with hope as she spoke to him.
