Chapter 777


    "The day he arrived, he spurred an uproar throughout the school because he was just too handsome. Natalie, he was so handsome that it''s


    impossible to describe."


    "My brother is good- looking too, but he was different. He had his own aloof aura that got every girl swooning over him.”


    "Did you know, Natalie? He was really, really poor. The entire school knew that, and nobody actually figured out how he ended up at such a


    prestigious school. However, because of his charm, nobody looked down on him. Instead, all the girls were totally captivated by him, including me.”


    “Ever since he transferred to our school, I was like a fool in love. I would send him food for breakfast. cheer him on while he yed basketball, and


    even write love letters to him. However, he never even spared me a nce.”


    "A lot of the girls in our school chased after him, but he never bothered to look anyone''s way."


    "One day. I finally decided to let go of him. I even thought that he might just be gay. How could he not be interested in any of the girls at all? I stopped


    sending him breakfast. watching him y basketball, and sending him love letters.”


    Selina paused and smiled, fondness uncontrobly dripping in her tone. "To everyone''s surprise, he came barging into my ssroom one day,


    suddenly took me into his arms and asked me, "You don''t like me anymore?"


    "Natalie, I fell in love right there and then. We''ve been together ever since.”


    "He didn''t have much money, but he tried his best to buy me the best gifts. I remember our first Christmas together. I was really disappointed at first.


    While everyone was out celebrating, he didn''te to look for me. Surprisingly, he called and asked me toe out when the clock struck twelve.”


    "So, I did. When I saw him, his face was flushed red from the cold, with this trending.vendercolored doll in his hands. To a rich person, that


    lavender doll didn''t cost much, but it would be so expensive to someone poor.”


    "Iter found out that he had been working. That day, he had been working until twelve to get thest bit of money to buy me this doll.”


    "Natalie, at that moment. all I could think was that he was the one for me."


    Natalie''s gaze shifted slightly.


    She was a little surprised. Listening to Selina’s description of him, he didn’t seem like such a bad guy after all. If that was the case, what made the


    Whitlocks oppose their rtionship so much? How had he made Selina so sad?


    “Natalie, isn''t he wonderful?" Selina looked at Natalie.


    Natalie remained silent, not knowing what to say.


    Selinaughed at herself. "Yes, he was wonderful, but then he changed. I don''t even know why he changed so suddenly. He no longer cared about


    me. He started drinking like an addict. Tell me, Natalie, why people change?"


    There was a ripple in Natalie''s gaze.


    "Selina, don''t think too much. A lot of men change.”


    Selina bit her lip. "But my brother hasn''t changed. My brother has always been so good to you.”


    Natalie''s emotions wereplicated.


    On one hand, she felt lucky. On the other hand, she felt distressed.


    She felt lucky that she was able to meet such a good man like Tobias


    At the same time, her heart ached for Selina.


    A girl as sweet as Selina deserved to be loved by a good man, who would spoil her.


    "Selina..." Natalie was suddenly unsure of how to


    comfort her.


    All she could say was, "You''re such a lovely girl, you''ll definitely meet a better man. You''re still young. You still have a lot of choices."


    There was only bitterness in Selina''s smile. "There are a lot of good men out there, but I''m the stupid one. I just had to fall in love with him.”


    Natalie''s heart felt heavy.


    "Selina, don''t be stupid.”


    Selina gave a smile in self-mockery.


    Shortly after that, she stood up and walked towards the window.


    Just as Natalie had said, it was not dark yet.


    There was a hint of haziness in her eyes.


    After a moment, she shook her


    head. "When you were talking about


    the wedding with my mother, I really


    thought to myself that if I were in


    yourshoes, I would be worried about


    everything.”


    -


    After a pause, her tone grew even


    more bitter. "Actually, I think al


    women out there would love for their


    men to taketare of all the wedding


    preparations. Who doesn''t want to


    be the bride who has to do nothing


    but stow up and look pretty intheir


    favourite gown on their wedding


    day? However, I think many-of us get


    too worried about it. What if the men


    mess it up? You are so lucky that


    you don''t have to worry about a


    these things. I know my brother, and


    know he will make this wedding


    perfect."


    Speaking up to this point, she walked towards Natalie. "You know, I''m jealous of you, Natalie.”


    Natalie stood up and couldn''t help


    but hug Selina. "Selina, you''ll get to


    experience. one day too. You''ll find


    someonéwho will let you be at. ease.


    All yous] have to doistobea <>


    prinsess, and you will not have to


    worry about anything else, “Content


    belongs to


    Selina’s gaze dimmed.


    Selina shook her head after a moment. "Okay. let''s stop this sad talk already. You''re getting married tomorrow, we should be happy!"


    At that point, she suddenly smiled. "Oh right, I didn''t even get my fill during dinner. I''d love to have some lobster."


    "I''ll go with you,” Natalie offered.


    Selina shook her head. "No, you''re gaing to be a bride tomorrow. How could you possibly apany me to eat lobster at this hour? I can go by


    myself.”


    "I want to keep youpany," Natalie insisted. "Let me be your knight in shining armor!"


    Selina’s eyes flickered.


    Some timeter, she gave Natalie''s shoulder a heavy pat. "Sure, Natalie, I''d love for you to be my knight in shining armor. Let''s go, then.”


    Natalie and Selina dared not leave right then, in fear of being seen by Cecilia


    After all, it sounded too ridiculous to go out for supper the night before the wedding day.


    That was why they waited until Cecilia and Hayden fell asleep.


    They sneaked out at around half past ten.


    Selina was driving a Ferrari.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Selina, you can drive?" Natalie was a little surprised.


    It was the first time that she''d seen Selina drive.


    Selina had a smug expression on her face. “Of course! I''m the daughter of the Whitlock family, do you expect me to not even know how to drive?”.


    Her energy was spiking as she said that.


    Natalie''s breathing hitched


    She abruptly realized that Selina looked stunning like this.


    However, something quickly tugged on her heart.


    But how couldn''t you even meet a good man?


    Natalie shook her head as she forced her messy thoughts away.


    That night, she was going to put aside all her negative thoughts and enjoy a good supper with Selina.


    The Ferrari raced into the night. and they soon arrived.


    Selina pulled up right beside a bar.


    "Here we are, Natalie.” Selina gave Natalie a signal
