Chapter 90


    Chapter 90


    "I''ll always be here waiting for you, mydy." His twinkling eyes were filled with concern as he gazed at


    me under the night sky. I was certain that I would be able to embrace the entire universe in his eyes if I


    had the courage to take one step forward. However, I couldn''t bring myself to do it in the end. "I''m


    sorry," I cried while shaking my head.


    Christopher sighed as he lowered his gaze. "You ended up choosing Nichs two months ago too. I


    don''t know what you''re thinking, but I''ve decided to support any decision that you make. My greatest


    wish is for you to find happiness! I just want you to live a good life. But, mydy, you don''t seem to be


    happy at all, so why don''t you give us a chance to return to the past?"


    The past?! Christopher and I don''t share a past at all. It was all one-sided—I was the one going after


    him for nine years, I thought. The lights by the school corridor were dim, and I stood beneath it as I


    fidgeted around helplessly. I didn''t know how to respond to him. However, I knew for a fact that


    Christopher was just a teenage dream that I had.


    I knew that I couldn''t get close to him or hold hands with him, and I knew that I could offer myself to him


    with the knowledge that I was an infertile woman. So, I shifted my gaze up and looked at him before


    opening up to him. "I used to love you so, so much—just the sound of your name used to send tingles


    down my spine. I would''ve jumped in front of a car for you! I still feel nervous even as I look at you now.


    But, Christopher, too many things have happened throughout the nine years I had been chasing after


    you. For example, I got married to your twin brother, Nichs; I was diagnosed with cancer and


    deemed infertile; I turned myself into a nationwide joke… Christopher, how could we go back to the


    past after all that''s happened?"


    Christopher could hear the fear in my voice, and heforted me in a gentle tone. "You don''t have to


    think about anyone or anything else for now. Just answer me—do you want to be with me?"


    Do I want to be with him? What he wanted was a simple and clear answer, but I simply couldn''t see


    myself getting back together with him. I knew that things could never go back to the way it was. After a


    slight pause, he spoke in his warm and gentle voice. "I watched the video… and I genuinely felt sorry


    for you. I was wondering, how did mydy allow herself to be bullied by someone else without standing


    her ground?"


    I didn''t stand my ground when I was being bullied… I pressed my lips together before rejecting him with


    a heavy heart. "I''m sorry. I don''t know how I turned into this person, and I don''t know why I''m so afraid


    to be with you now. But I''m really thankful for all the care and love you''ve given me," I ended up


    rejecting Christopher. He didn''t reveal any emotion on his face, but I could sense that he seemed rather


    gloomy.


    "Can you bear to give up on me just like that?" he asked in a soft and meek tone. A look of shock


    spread across my face—I never would''ve expected him to ask such a humble question. I thought about


    it before responding sincerely, "You once said that there are too many people in this world who never


    get what they want. Regardless of whether I can bear to let you go, I''ll have to do it in the end," I


    replied. Christopher deserves to find his own happiness. He shouldn''t be with an infertile woman like


    me! He deserves a perfect family with children.


    I had to admit—what Nichs uttered about my infertility was too much of a blow to me. It resulted in a


    scar that wouldy in my heart forever.


    "Can you listen to me ying Street Where Wind Resides for onest time?" he asked. This was the


    song that initiated everything between Christopher and me, so I figured that things should end at the


    same point as well. However, it seemed like we were still in each other''s lives even after bidding


    goodbye a few times. We were like old friends who would gather together to talk about our sweet past.


    "I''d love to," I uttered with a wide grin. Christopher walked into the ssroom, and I sat by the wall


    while listening to the piano, just like the good old days. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I guess I''ll


    never be able to return to my teenage years! The four-minute-long tune eventually came to an end.


    Right before it ended, I stood up and walked off. The summer breeze lifted the hem of my skirt, and it


    blew away my nine years of unforgettable love.


    …


    It waste by the time I drove home. Iy on my bed and scrolled through the texts that my assistant


    sent. ''President Felix, thepany''s shares saw a 5% reduction after all the crazy rumors in the past


    two months. However, everything else is fine, and our finances are looking good. We look forward to


    having you back." Crazy rumors… He''s probably talking about the video of me begging Nichs in the


    rain. I''m the face of the Felix Family, so this must''ve caused some impact on thepany.


    I didn''t reply to my assistant''s text—I simply lowered the phone and fell into a restless bout of sleep. I


    woke up sometime in the afternoon, and my phone, which was on silent mode, had tons of missed calls


    from ir, May, Kevin, my assistant, and so on. I felt drained just looking at all of these calls. In the


    end, I decided to check my WhatsApp to see the text that my assistant had sent me.


    ''Check the trending topics, President Felix,'' it said. Something sounded odd about the text. I opened


    my Twitter app—the top trend was ''Renee Felix'', followed by ''pianist Christopher'', followed by ''Street


    Where Wind Resides''. The fourth trending topic was ''Renee''s men''. Renee''s men… The term itself left


    me speechless. I frowned as I tapped into one of the videos. There, I found a clip of Christopher and I,


    with him standing upstairs and me standing downstairs.


    He was gazing at me lovingly while I looked back with my teary eyes. We looked like a perfect couple


    under the moonlight. This video recorded every single bit of the conversation we hadst night, and it


    was filmed in such high definition. I could hear our voices. "I tried so hard to look for you. I kept you in


    my heart for nine years while you chased after me for nine years." I turned the video off after that.


    When I scrolled down to look at thements, most of them were criticizing me for being a b*tch.


    Come to think of it, I''ve appeared as a trending topic three times in the past two months, all for different


    men. I guess I can see why others would think of me that way. I somehow became everyone''s target.


    ''I''ll handle it once I''m at thepany,'' I texted my assistant after getting off the Twitter application. I


    knew that I would have to deal with this eventually—the Felix Corporation''s shares couldn''t afford to


    fluctuate for much longer.


    As I thought about the videos, I felt extremely unlucky all of a sudden. Who could it be? Did someone


    follow me to the school building? I ran through a list of my potential enemies, but I realized that most of


    thepanies that had some form of conflict orpetition with Felix Corporation would be part of the


    list. There were too many people involved, so I gave up andy in bed for a while more before heading


    off to shower.

    After getting changed, I drove to the office. I was shocked when I saw a familiar face waiting outside


    the building. "What are you doing here, Kevin?"
