Chapter 771


    ric was juggling 30 girlfriends in a single month at his peak!


    He got a new woman every single day.


    Women were like fashion essories to him, and ric wore them perfectly.


    Hertha was a wholesome, good woman. She didn’t fit in with a man like ric.


    If she insisted on being with him, she would be the one to get hurt in the end.


    Hertha’s eyes shed with anger as she red at Leopold, “What do you mean by protection?


    Thssa was dating you with marriage in mind. She thought you were a responsible man who treated


    her well. But what happened in the end? She was left heartbroken!”

    Leopold’s gentle and mncholic eyes dted a little, “What are you saying? She was hurt after we


    broke up, wasn’t she?”


    Seeing Leopold’s intense look, Hertha realized she might have said too much.


    Thssa had been resolute in breaking up with Leopold, determined and decisive. When Leopoldter


    tried to reconcile, Thssa told him in a firm manner she no longer loved him.


    Even breaking up hadn’t made her sad or upset. She did it to make a clean break, to rid Leopold of any


    lingering feelings and allow him to pursue his own life.


    Now she had just told Leopold that Thssa had been heartbroken when they split.


    It meant that she told Leopold that Thssa had never forgotten him.


    Hertha avoided Leopold’s eager gaze, “I didn’t say that. Listen to Thssa. I must have been drunk to


    ramble like that. Don’t take it to heart. I can’t drink anymore. You were going to take me home, right?”


    Leopold looked stunned; his face was full of pain.


    Seeing him like this, Hertha wished she could p herself. Why had she let her anger make her blurt


    out such things? It was all the alcohol’s fault. It had numbed her senses and made her speak without


    thinking. Only after the words were out did she realize she’d said something she shouldn’t have.


    “I was really just talking nonsense because I was drunk. Thssa is doing great now. She has four


    lovely kids and she’s with their father. She’s going to be very happy, so don’t worry. You should marry


    Debby soon and have kids of your own. Then your happiness won’t lose to Thssa’s.”


    Now that Hertha was fully sober and clear-headed, she tried to advise Leopold.


    As a former ssmate, she, like Thssa, hoped that Leopold could move on from his past


    rtionship and find his own happiness.


    After all, not all first loves end up together.


    First love may be unforgettable and deeply ingrained, but how many people actually ended up marrying


    their first love and having their own kids?


    No one’s life was without regret. epting regret was part of living a better life.


    Leopold’s pained eyes moved slightly as he regained hisposure. Looking at Hertha, he tried to


    keep his voice steady, but it was still slightly bitter, “Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”


    Sitting in the car, Hertha could feel Leopold’s gloominess. She felt guilty and tried to make


    conversation, “Leopold, why were you alone. at the bar tonight? Didn’t you have a drink?”


    “I just got to the bar when I saw you and ric, so I came over,” Leopold answered.


    “Oh, did youe to the bar alone? Are you feeling down? Or is there something bothering you?”


    Hertha asked with concern in her voice.
