Elly Campbell was startled by the words that Adam Jones uttered while holding back his anger.
To say she wasn't shocked would be lying.
But shock aside, she had to make things clear to avoid future troubles.
With that thought, she took a deep breath and said, "That's your business, but you can't force me to do the same. Life is too long, and you aren't indispensable to me. If one day I find someone I like, I naturally won't force myself to continue with you."
She avoided Adam's stormy gaze and said these words with a cold heart.
When he heard her say "you aren't indispensable to me," Adam's heart was fiercely stabbed, a feeling both sour and painful.
Indeed, she wasn't indispensable to him.
Just like that time she told him, he had completely eroded her dedication to him during those three years.
What right did he have to arrogantly assume that she could only ever have room for him in her heart?
