Chapter 702: I Won’t Force You
Aurora’s voice was icy. It wasn’t that she wasn’t heartbroken—it was that she was far too angry.
"Alexander, what’s the point of all this? Are you trying to use suicide to force me back to your side? Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Your mother and sister hate me even more now! They wish I were dead! Why would you even try to take your own life? Do you think I didn’t suffer when you left me? I was in agony, too—but I never thought of doing something like that. I’m not selfish like you!"
Her voice trembled with emotion. She couldn’t sit still anymore. She stood there, shaking, unable to contain herself.
Alexander stared at her in silence, jaw clenched tightly, refusing to speak.
"You’re a grown man—what are you doing trying to kill yourself? Can’t you think about your mother for once? I may not like her much, but she raised you all on her own. That wasn’t easy! Alexander, if you ever do something that stupid again, I’ll lose all respect for you—I’ll truly despise you!"
Aurora’s anger fully erupted. She had no intention of comforting him, no interest in begging him to stay alive.
"I just want a quiet, peaceful life. I just want to sing my songs without drama. Why do you have to make them hate me more? Do you really think doing this will make me come back to you? That I’ll feel safe with you again?"
Her voice cracked as tears welled up. "Alexander, you’ve changed. You’ve become so selfish. I’m exhausted—really, truly exhausted. No matter who I’m with... I’m always tired. Can’t you just let me have a little peace?"
Alexander gazed at her tear-streaked face, his heart breaking, overwhelmed by guilt.
She was right. Even after he abandoned her, Aurora still stood strong, still faced all the pressure from fans and the media. And yet, she didn’t collapse—she kept going, living her life.
What right did he have to be weaker than her?
