Chapter 405
It was always like this when it came to relationships.
Breaking up was easy, but forgetting it all was hard.
Queenie appeared to be indifferent and nonchalant after the breakup, but I knew that it was
only an act.
She still loved Flynn deeply. Even if she didn’t get to see him for the rest of her life, he’d still occupy a spot in her heart.
After all, he was a vibrant, colorful part of her life for so many years. Those five years they were together were the best years of her life. It was the first time she loved someone so deeply.
“I’m sorry, Queenie,” I hurriedly apologized. “I was too excited. I didn’t say that on purpose. Don’t be mad at me.”
I let her go as I apologized to her, guilt–stricken.
Sitting up, Queenie tucked the strands of hair in her face behind her ears. She looked out the window at the sky, smiling gently.
“It’s fine. We were together for five years, after all. It’s just like keeping a pet. The pet owner wouldn’t be able to let go of it after so many years. Things aren’t much different in my case.
She added, “I’ve been thinking a lot recently, and I’ve thought things through. I wouldn’t have believed it if you told me he didn’t love me back then. But as much as he loved me, he also loved his family, status, power, and money.
“His love for me isn’t as important as wealth and status. He might not like his childhood. friend, but he had to marry her for the benefit. He liked me, but it was a pity that I saw no future with him even if he was reluctant to leave me.
“That’s why he said he would marry his childhood friend but continue our relationship. I have my own life to lead. I can’t allow him to let me down like this. I spent five years with him, but I still couldn’t become his final choice.
“I couldn’t do anything to stop that, so I can’t blame him for that. Since we’ve broken up, I need to do what I have to do. I have to forget him. Once I do, I’ll have nothing to do with him
anymore.”
It was clear that Queenie had figured everything out. If she had stayed with Flynn, she would’ve been able to get all his love and enjoy a life of luxury,
But she could only stay as a mistress by his side. And everyone hated third wheels and mistresses.

Queenie might not be an arrogant woman, but she had pride. She would not allow herself to become someone’s mistress.
Flynn was a strange fellow. I didn’t know what to say about him. How could he ask the woman he liked to become his mistress and be cursed at for the rest of her life? It was shameless of
him to do so.
Queenie loved him with her life, but the sacrifices she made for him couldn’t stand the test of time anymore. She was worn out.
Now, Flynn had wrung her dry of the last ounce of love she had for him. A breakup was inevitable.
All of a sudden, I looked forward to seeing the day Flynn realized how big of a mistake he’d made. Queenie would no longer love him by then. I longed to see the look on his face when he learned that.
“Queenie, just cry it all out if you want to. Bottling up your emotions will only make you get sick,” I coaxed her.
Queenie laughed lightly and reached up to pinch my face. “What now? I’ve made up my mind. Why are you frowning so much? Others might think that you’re the one who just broke up.”

“My heart breaks I told her.
“Me too. It’s been five wonderful years. I wasted them all on him. But it was worth it since I got to see what kind of a person he truly is.
She continued, “I’m only 23. I still have a bright future ahead of me. I can’t wallow in the darkness after a breakup forever. Don’t worry, Luna, I’ll get back up. I definitely will no matter how long it’ll take.”
“I believe in you, Queenie. But you can’t achieve this alone, right? Andrew seems like a good guy. He looks gentle. If he’s the clingy type, you should just take him in.
“I read that the best way to let go of a relationship is by starting a new one,” I said.
Queenie shook her head. “Andrew’s fine. He has helped me a lot, but the kinder he is to me, the more I feel I shouldn’t be with him. If I do that, it’d be the same as taking advantage of
him.”
She continued, “It wouldn’t be fair to him. I don’t want to get into a relationship before I can
