Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter)




Angela was completely taken aback, puzzled by the meaning behind his words. For a brief moment, she found herself at a loss for how to reply.

Dexter looked into her eyes, showing a hint of tenderness. Suddenly, he softly brushed his fingers through her messy hair and sighed quietly.

His voice was gentle, tinged with an unmistakable hint of vulnerability. "I don't want to see you struggle."

"You..." Angela hesitated, her gaze softening with a hint of heartache.

"I'm not someone who falls in love easily. And I believe you're the same. So, go handle your own matters first. As for us... We can talk about it later." He smiled sincerely.

Angela's entire body tensed as if she had been hit, leaving her feeling broken. She couldn't believe that he could be this direct and understanding. That wasn't like him at all.

She had never imagined facing such a difficult choice. Seeing Genevieve was

something she had to do. Yet, Dexter had also become someone she couldn't bear to part with.

Feelings truly did grow over time. She and Dexter had gone from enemies to something more, and now, she couldn't even bring herself to let go.

"But... what if we don't have a future?" Angela asked sadly, trying to hide her bitterness.

In that instant, a sharp pain hit her heart as she realized that Dexter had quietly become so important to her.

Dexter remained silent. In the sunlight, the contours of his face caught the light faintly, carrying an indescribable sense of helplessness and despair.

"It won't come to that," he replied with a smile, turning away. His tall, broad figure seemed lonely against the light.

Of course, he wanted to fight for himself. But time was running out. Besides, Angela had already chosen him once before. This time, he couldn't be selfish.

She couldn't afford to choose wrong again. Or rather, she never truly had a choice to begin with.

Angela stepped forward and gently wrapped her arms around his solid waist.

Dexter's body stiffened slightly, and then he suddenly chuckled. "If you knew this day would come, shouldn't you have treated me better from the start?"

He turned around with his arms open, making his intentions clear.

Angela pressed her lips together and hugged him once more. At that moment, time seemed to freeze. No matter how deep the pain had been, it all melted away instantly.

When the time came, Dexter

personally drove her to the airport to

Austin had already been waiting for quite some time at the airport. Seeing him from a distance, Dexter pulled over and let Angela go on her own.

When the moment of farewell finally arrived, an indescribable sorrow and reluctance filled Angela's heart. She sat in the car for a long time, saying nothing.

Outside, it started drizzling. Dexter finally spoke. "I'll walk you over. It's raining."

And just like that, the rain became an excuse to see her off.

Angela felt a bitter ache in her heart, but with no other choice, she simply nodded.

Under the light drizzle, they shared a single umbrella. At that moment, it felt as if the entire world had faded away, leaving only the two of them. Though they walked together, an undeniable loneliness hung between them. Content belongs to

"Go on." Dexter handed her the umbrella, not saying another word.

Angela sniffled, forcing a faint smile.

Their eyes met, and in that brief

exchange, they saw the deep

reluctance mirrored in each othnet

gaze Yet, neither of them was the type to indulge in sentimentality.

"Goodbye," Angela said with a smile, then turned away decisively.

As she moved, her delicate hair gently grazed his hand just as he reached out to brush the raindrops from her shoulder.
