HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 468 Goodbye



Chapter 468 Goodbye

At the Jackson Villa, Carmen sat opposite John.

She lifted her head and looked at him. She asked, "Would you like to have dinner first?"

"It's not needed. I will go back to the company afterward," John replied.

Carmen smiled bitterly. John didn't even look at her when he spoke. And she is not na?ve not to sense anything. She knew why John didn't want to stay longer. He would go back to the hospital and console Ivy.

"Alright, then. I would not take much of your time. Whatever you wanted to tell me, I am all ears." She calmly uttered, despite the throbbing in her heart. She was an adult. There's no need to make a fuss. Carmen thought to herself.

She only felt sad that it happened in such a short time, which she still wishes for a little more, even if it would hurt her so much.

John, on the one hand, took a glance at Carmen. He watched her for a long time before finding the courage to open his mouth.

"Carmen…" John's voice is hesitant at first. "I'm sorry…."

In the past few weeks that his family was in trouble, the Dawson's helped him a lot to solve the matter without sweating. Then, in the wake of his father and twin brother, Carmen and Rob didn't leave his side but extended their sympathy.

However, he could not hurt Carmen furthermore. So he decided to end it early before things got worse between them.

"There are so many things I need to take care of, and I don't think I can continue this relationship."

Carmen did not speak but remained silent for the next seconds. John's words are clear. Even so, her head deliberately refuses to sink in. Until the end, she wanted to believe it was just a beautiful nightmare that she got to have a romance with her long-time crush.

"Alright. I understand you are breaking up with me." She said in a hurry not to give John a chance to speak again because she didn't want to hear any further that would stab her heart deeper.

Ivy is the woman occupying his heart. It would be easier to accept if she heard less of his explanation. Besides, she already knows why they are breaking up.

John heaves a deep sigh. He had something more to say, but he saw Carmen wanted to end this quickly as him. Pondering over, John felt uncomfortable somehow. Carmen is so good to him, but it is unfair to her.

"Carmen… I… I didn't mean to hurt you, but…."

"It's okay, John. I can't force you to love me in return."

She was being too defensive; Carmen knew that. But what would happen if she begged John? Would he even agree to let her become the third party of his unrequited love toward Ivy?

Carmen doesn't mind. But she loves John so much that she wants him to be happy. Because being in one-sided love will never bring a pleasant feeling but suffering.

Somehow, in some part, it makes someone happy when the person you've been dreaming of for years finally turns his head in your direction.

That was what she felt in the passing weeks she was with John. She would cherish her memories with him, even if they were just an illusion. It's all because until now, everything seemed to be just a dream, and tomorrow she would finally wake up to reality.

"I'll head upstairs to get some rest. I will see if I can get an early flight tomorrow." Carmen could no longer bear the pain lingering in her heart. She hurried to leave the study and headed to John's bedroom.

She cried all night since John didn't come to his room but left right away after they talked.

"Good morning, Miss Carmen. What breakfast would you like to…" the servant stopped when she saw the luggage shed pulling behind.

"Where are you going, Miss?" another servant queried, and the others suddenly were in panic.

Carmen smiled, and she announced, "It's alright. You don't need to prepare anything. I'm going home today."

"But why Miss? Does Sir John know about it?"

Carmen nodded and smiled at the three servants. "Yes, he knew about it." Because we just broke up last night. She added inwardly.

"Miss Carmen, is this because of last night?"

Carmen was surprised by how the servants knew about it. They talked in the study, and she saw no one when she came out.

"Miss, maybe you and Sir John can fix the misunderstanding," said another servant.

"Please, don't misunderstand, sir John, that he has to leave to look for Miss Ivy the entire night. She was still grieving that sir Jay is now gone."

"What did you say? Ivy was missing?" Carmen asked the three servants. It really surprised her.

"Yes, miss. We heard this morning that Miss Ivy escaped from the hospital to go to the cemetery."

Carmen sighs with relief when she hears that. She thought they were referring to the breakup last night. Anyway, they will soon know the real status of her relationship with their boss.

"I'm glad that Ivy was found right away." These girls are actually nice to her so that she will miss them. "Alright. I have a flight to catch. Thank you for treating me nicely during the time I stayed here."

"Miss, can't you lengthen your stay?" The servants tried to persuade her.

"I wish I could, girls." There was sadness in her voice when she uttered this. She loves to stay; even if she lived here forever, she would. But she has no right to do that. And so, Carmen used her restaurant as an excuse. That's why she had to leave soon.

"If you girls visit T Country, come to my restaurant. You are free to dine in every day."

"Miss Carmen!" The girls can no longer hold, not cry from the sudden parting.

"You are so nice, Miss Carmen. Please come back soon!" For them, Carmen is the most suited Mistress in the house. They really like her warm temperament. Not only that, she is elegant and gorgeous, and her being wealthy is just a plus.

After a little more goodbye, Carmen heads to the door.

"Miss, let me help you with your bag." The butler approached Carmen.

Early this morning, he received a call from his boss, notifying him to send Carmen off to the airport.

Butler Mason took the bag and escorted Carmen to the waiting car.

Before she got in the car, Carmen looked up and fixed her gaze on the villa's second floor.

From John's bedroom, she has beautiful scenery of the city and the Northern coast, which became her habit of gazing out before going to bed and waking up in the morning.

Of course, those time is John next to her in the bed.

'Goodbye…'
