Chapter 132


    Chapter 130


    Since the beginning, all I wanted was just a faithful, unwavering rtionship with a man I could spend


    the rest of my life with, but I never thought that it would be this difficult. I had been through so many ups


    and downs and experienced so much heartache and sorrow.


    I even chose between Christopher and Nichs; now, I had to choose between Nichs and Shawn.


    I kept making choices, cutting up my unwavering love again and again, but that was never the wish of


    my heart!


    Christopher was merely my teenage dream, and I had already awakened from it nine years ago.


    Meanwhile, Nichs and I missed out on each other in the end. Now, I only had Shawn left.


    When we were together, I knew that he had no feelings for me. Even so, I still chose him, giving up my


    tolerant self as I boldly confessed my love to him. He never said that he loved me, and even told me he


    didn''t love me. Despite that, I chose to be with him.


    I held on to him with all my might, just as I did to Nichs three years ago.


    In order to have the happiness which I craved, I did my best to give, even if it was futile.

    At Nichs'' question, I chuckled and answered, "Shawn pampers me, satisfies me in every aspect,


    gives me security and reliance. Next to him, I never have to worry about getting bullied by others!"


    Even though there''s no love involved in between, I added silently.


    The rain battered harder, and Nichs asked me calmly, "Then, does he love you? Ree, no one knows


    you better than me. All you want is love, and I can give you that."


    After years of getting along with each other, Nichs had be the person who knew me best, and I


    let out a heavy sigh. "Nichs, there was love between us before, but after all we''ve been through…


    Many things are beyond my control. While I''m sorry that we missed out on each other, I''m grateful that


    you gave your life for me without hesitation. If anything happens in the future, I''ll also help you out with


    my life! But I can''t leave my love with you because I have given it to another man, and I can''t crawl


    back to your side simply because he doesn''t love me."


    If that were the case, I would even look down on myself!


    "Renee, you''ll definitely regret this," he said and left.


    I stood on the spot for a long while before driving back to my apartment.


    Back home, I cried my heart out for Nichs, and more so for myself! I had loved him before, and it


    hurt me to tell him those things earlier. At the same time, I was afraid of hurting him, too.


    However, if I didn''t make a clean break now, it would only cause more trouble in the future.


    After I had cried enough, I took off my drenched clothes and bathed in the bathroom. While I was


    soaking in the tub, I received a text from Nichs.


    ''Ree, you''re the mostmitted woman in love that I''ve met. When you''re in love with someone, you


    could give him your all and even go after him withoutints or regrets! But you''re also the most


    stubborn woman who hates with all her heart. When you hated me, you told me that you had forgiven


    me although you had already decided to draw the line between us! In this world, it''s not that one cannot


    do without another specifically. Just like you''ve chosen Shawn now, many people can''t understand why


    you could fall in love with him so easily just like that, but I can understand. That''s because he gave you


    something I don''t have:mitment, protection, and the so-called strength! But I can''t give up and still


    yearn for you, and I want you. I can''t lose you again!" he wrote.


    The person who understood me the most in this world was none other than Nichs, and he knew


    exactly why I fell for Shawn. It came out of nowhere, and neither was it just a spur of a moment!


    I didn''t write back, and not long afterward, he sent another text. ''Meeting you is my biggest joy and trial


    in this life. No matter who''s the person you love in your heart, I won''t admit defeat! Ree, wait until I''m


    treated and give me the chance to have a fairpetition with Shawn.''


    Wait for him to be treated because he''s fighting against the other personality within himself.


    After hesitating for a long time, I didn''t reply to his texts in the end, and the things the old butler, Jim,


    said kept reying in my mind.


    If it was true as he said that I wasn''t from the Felix Family, then who was I?


    Was he full of lies just like Quinn?


    I decided to set aside the questions in my mind as I soaked myself in the bath and didn''t get up until I


    was ready. Suddenly, I felt lonely, thinking there was no difference in my life whether I had a man or


    not.


    Then, I grabbed my phone and checked my WhatsApp. Olivia had sent me a video, which was a


    recording of Christopher''s musical apaniment, and I happened to know the girl in the video with


    him—Emma.


    In the video, she wore a white t-shirt while singing, and her voice was very melodious as she sang


    ''Colors of the Wind''.


    However, the version she sang was not the English version but a remake in fifteennguages.


    Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and others. Among them, French and Polish


    were the best. Apanied by Christopher''s piano piece, the song was so beautiful that it sent shivers


    down the spine. Indeed, she was a talented girl!


    After I reyed the song three more times, I forwarded the video to Emma, and she replied


    nonchntly, ''A good friend of mine who''s studying music has a sore throat because she fell sick.


    When she found out that I was on vacation, she kept asking me to take her ce to sing. I thought that


    this song would turn out great if tranted into differentnguages and gave it a shot. Unexpectedly,


    the response is quite good.''


    I''d just finished reading this text when she sent another one. ''I even met Christopher Forger. He''s more


    good-looking in person than in videos.''


    That was needless to say, as there was no question about Christopher''s looks, and he looked just the


    same as Nichs.


    ''So you guys are acquainted now,'' I replied.


    ''I don''t know him. I was called over at the veryst minute. We didn''t even rehearse, and I think he was


    stunned that I suddenly appeared on the stage. After singing, I took a ne to Pnd directly and


    nned to stay a few days before going to Venice, Italy,'' she replied.


    ''Have fun on your travels.''


    After that, she didn''t reply to me anymore, and I didn''t know what Olivia wanted to convey by sending


    me this video. I brooded over it for a long while and sent a question mark to her. ''Why did you suddenly


    send me this?''


    ''Renee, I met this girl once when I went skiing in Europe thest time. I heard that she''s still


    underaged.''


    ''Why?'' I asked.


    Was Olivia suspecting that Christopher liked Emma? It couldn''t be so far-fetched, could it?


    After all, there was a fourteen-year age gap between both of them. Furthermore, Emma just said that


    they didn''t know each other.


    ''I''m amazed by her singing.''


    For a few seconds, I hesitated. ''Why are you suddenly showing this to me? Olivia, are you trying to tell


    me something?''


    It took her a long while before she finally answered me. ''Chris is on his travels again, and I didn''t chase


    after him all over the world now. It''s just that I was a little envious when I saw this video by chance


    yesterday. I''m envious of that girl on the stage and everyone around Chris. Of course, I''m missing him


    a little as well.''


    It was only a couple of months when Christopher appeared in my life, and I rejected him repeatedly.


    But, as he knew how to advance, he naturally knew how to retreat as well. So, he was merely returning


    to his previous state of life.


    "Travel the world and meet the people."


    In my mind, I suddenly remembered the phrase he said before. Christopher Forger, what an elegant


    gentleman you are!


    I pondered his words and the situation before answering her earnestly. ''I understand you, but I''m not


    Christopher. So, I can''t control his mind! Olivia, if you really miss him, you should look for him when the


    weather is fine and lovely outside, regardless of how it will end up.''


    Ironically, there was a blistering thunderstorm outside now, and there was no ''fine and lovely'' weather


    at all, but I just wanted to encourage her with a quote from the Inte.


    ''Thank you, Renee,'' she replied.


    After I read her reply, I wanted to set my phone aside when I received a text from Kevin. ''You didn''t


    follow Sunny back to the Xenos Manor?''


    ''No, I didn''t.''


    ''You really are something else. You are the only one who isn''t worried.''
