StartNovelChapter 915: The response left Tonya so stunned that she braked abruptly. Thankfully, she halted by a red light, preventing any accident.
Tonya faced Harlee again, her tone serious.
"Did you just say it was Rhys?" As the chill of approaching winter seeped through the slightly opened window, Harlee wrapped herself tighter and gazed out at the passing landscape.
"Yes, he's got a girlfriend now." Tonya nearly erupted in fury, wavering on the brink of a rant, but clung to her last bit of composure.

"No need." The traffic light switched to green, forcing Tonya to resdriving.
But soon after crossing the intersection, she pulled over.
"You've loved him for three years, and now you're just over him?" Tonya asked, confused.
Harlee's throat narrowed. She longed to admit that knowing he had a new girlfriend destroyed her love for him, yet she couldn't articulate the words. Opting for silence on that matter, she instead recounted the encounter.
"He gazed at me..." As though I were a stranger.
He hasn't lost his memory.
Exclusive stories galnovlHe recognizes me.
But now, his eyes hold no love." Tonya, taken aback, had often pictured Rhys' return and even speculated that he might find new love, particularly if he lost his memory. She never could have imagined that he would cback not only with his memory but also with a new love by his side! Tonya was speechless, her jaw dropped.
After a heavy silence, she finally blurted out, "That jerk!" "This is actually quite good..." Harlee left it unclear what she found good. It seemed she might be referring to Rhys' return, or perhaps the unmet expectations were somehow a relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTonya looked on sympathetically, understanding that no amount of condemning Rhys would restore Harlee's happiness. Thus, she chose to sit quietly beside Harlee.
They sat in silence, the busy traffic blurring on the left, and peaceful greenery soothing on the right. M Tonya's spirits sank as she gazed left, while Harlee felt a lightness looking right. Harlee couldn't grasp how someone could just stop loving.
Despite knowing Rhys was doing fine, didn't want to see them, and even had a girlfriend, her thoughts drifted to letting go, not abruptlym ending herdove for him. Yet... She knew how to let go with grace when necessary. Staring down the road, Harlee whispered, "Three years is long enough for everything to change, love included." Her words seemed meant as much for Tonya as for herself. Harlee avoided returning to the Sanderson family home, not wanting to distress her parents. Instead, she asked Tonya to book a suite at the Grand Oak.
Remarkably, at the hotel, Harlee slept deeply, free from dreams or them restlessness. She slept from the afternoon into the evening, woke briefly for dinner at Tonya's insistence, and then slept till morning.
