"Are you still my best friend?" Chester gritted his teeth.
"The woman you're talking about can't possibly be Eliza, right?" Shaun said, "I noticed earlier on that you were paying too much attention to her. I'm not saying it's love, but there must be fondness and admiration. However, the Chester I know is calm and composed. You have a lot of experience with women. Even if you like someone, you can still control yourself and won't torture yourself to this miserable state."
Chester's expression was filled with self-deprecation.
Shaun was right. If Eliza was just Eliza, he could still back off even if he admired her.
Besides, he did intend to give up and distance himself from her initially.
However, after finding out that Eliza was Charity, Chester suddenly understood clearly that Charity had always been in his heart.
His hatred and contempt for her back then were because of his intense love for her.
Nevertheless, he was unable to see the truth then.
When he got attracted to Eliza again, he realized that he would always love Charity deeply even if her appearance had changed.
It was just that he was too selfish and realized it too late.
"I love her," Chester said softly. "But she'll never forgive me. There’s no way we can be together."
