Chapter 754


    Chapter 754


    Jade Barlow was taken aback, loosening his grip and dropping the chair. He swayed, clutching the


    back of his head, and seeing his hand covered in blood, he passed out.


    Skyler saw Jade Barlow copse and instantly turned as pale as a ghost. He rushed over, calling out


    Jade Barlow’s name.


    Celeste, soaked in a cold sweat, quickly snatched the flowers from Trisha’s hand, “Why are you out


    here?”


    Snapping back to reality at the sight of blood, Trisha stammered, “Did I… Did I hurt someone?”


    Celeste gently patted her on the back, whispering, “You don’t know anything; you were drunk. I was the


    one who smashed the vase. Let’s call the cops first.” “Yeah, right, let’s call the police first.”


    Trisha rushed back into the room and picked up her phone, but instead of calling the police, she called


    Nics.


    Liam was showering while Nics was gaming. He wasn’t ying well and lost two games in a row.


    His gaming buddy asked, “What’s up with you today? You seem off.”


    Nics, who usually didn’t chat with his online friends, was feeling a bit down today.


    After all, his gaming friends didn’t know him in real life, so he decided to vent.


    “I’ve got this friend; he’s been hanging out with a girl, having meals and gaming together. He’s always


    seen her as a friend. But when he saw her chasing after other guys, he felt ufortable. What do


    you think is the reason?”


    His friend replied, “He likes her, duh. What else could it be?”


    Nics frowned, “But he doesn’t want to sleep with her; could that still be considered liking?”


    His friend took a while to reply, “Are you a virgin or something?”


    Nics wanted to retort, then realized, “I’m talking about my friend.”


    His friend, “So, is your friend a virgin?”


    “Of course not, he’s had many girlfriends.”


    “Then it’s probably just physical attraction, not emotional.”


    Nics argued, “He was really good to his ex–girlfriends. He spent money on them, and took them out


    for fun. Isn’t that emotional?”


    “Did you–your friend ever feel excited when he saw these ex–girlfriends, or anxious when he didn’t see


    them?”


    Nics paused.


    It seemed… he never did.


    Even when he was deeply in love, he didn’t feel the need to see them.


    What about Trisha?

    He couldn’t sit still when she ignored him for a day.


    Stubbornly, he said, “Can it be called liking if I don’t want to sleep with her?”


    His friend said, “What… What if someone else sleeps with her?”


    Nics froze, picturing Trisha sleeping with another man, his face instantly turned grim.


    “Dude, how can you not tell if you like someone or not? When you like someone, you’ll be happy just


    being with them, even without sex. The first thing thates to your mind when you truly like someone


    will never be sex.”


    Lowering his voice, Nics sounded unsure, “What if I see her as a sister? I also can’t bear to see


    others hurt her, right? Maybe I’ve been spending too much time with her recently, and that’s why I’m


    feeling this way. If I see her less, it should get better.”


    “Then just treat her like she’s not your sister. When she gets a boyfriend or even gets married, you’ll


    get over it.”
