Chapter 446 How They Broke Up Years Ago

• Jeanette, with a curiosity that seemed to magnify the silence between them, finally voiced the question that lingered heavily in the air, “What led to your breakup? Did your feelings for her fade?”
• Gabriel found himself at a crossroads, hesitant to divulge the full extent of his past affections. Yet, compelled by the moment, he reached for her hand, a gesture that sent a flutter through Jeanette's heart, suggesting to her the profound love he must have once held for Bella.
• “There was love, yes. At twenty-one, I was convinced she was the one for me, to the point where I was on the cusp of proposing. But, as fate would have it, she chose that moment to end things, returning to her home country, to her family. And so, our paths diverged, never to cross again until now,” Gabriel shared, his voice laced with a trace of unresolved emotion.
