Her heart was aching and her world felt like it was spinning.She was giving up on the man she loved so much. " But you .. " Layla tried to say." I would find someone else.

Chapter 80Mirah and Bryan turned to Shane simultaneously but he only kept mute without saying a word." Just try to find out why they're not in support of you dating someone from a wealthy family.

" Yeah, that seems okay " Mirah said to Layla who only kept staring at Shane worriedly.Shane noticed she was staring at him and he looked up at her. He raised his brows. " I won't give up this time around. I promise " She said to him and he smiled lightly. " I never said anything, did I? " He chuckled but she only kept staring at him." That look on you, you're scared that I might give up like I had always done. I won't, I promise " She muttered and Shane raised his brows again, unable to say a word." Um, we would leave then.
