Fated to Love You Again novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 The Painful Past 

James's gaze became somehow distant. 

His thin lips lightly opened, and he replied, "Like my first love." 

So that was it. It was not related to her life. Norah dropped her eyes with a little disappointment. 

But the phrase "first love" still surrounded her mind. 

Originally, she thought it was a very beautiful phrase, and she had always longed for it. 

But because of Lilian, she couldn't generate any good feelings about this phrase anymore. 

"My first love is a girl of a modest family, very small and delicate. She is soft and tender. The first time I saw her, I had a strong desire to protect her." 

"However, there were many people who liked her. I had low self-esteem at that time and didn't dare to approach her at all until she took the initiative to confess her love to me. At that moment, my whole world felt like it was lit up. I felt that the god of luck had favored me, and I must be the happiest person in this world." 

"But, how wonderful the happiness is, how painful and wretched the falling from heaven is." 

James raised his head, and his whole face was covered with sadness. 

Norah, even as a bystander, can feel the sadness flowing from him. 

"What happened?" Norah asked carefully. 

"Later ......" James laughed bitterly and continued: "Later I learned that she didn't like me at all. She just valued my money, loved my money, and that's all. After being with her, I spent money immoderately for her happiness." 

"As long as it's something she likes, I didn't hesitate at all. After the college entrance exams, I even bought a ring and wanted to give it to her as a love token." 

"But she made the most hurtful, and the most painful stab in my heart. I had personally heard her saying with her friends, "James that fool, is dumb and dull, and has no understanding about girls at all. If not for his rich mother, how could I be with him? And you know what? His mother's a mistress, so he's an illegal son. How can I marry an illegal son?"" 

After hearing that, James closed his eyes, and his entire body was suffused with a thick sadness. 

It hurt. It really hurt. 

Even without personal experience, just listening by the side, Norah felt that the relationship was suffocating and hurtful. 

"But, with your handsome appearance, when you were at school, weren't you pursued by countless girls? How could ......?" Norah looked at James in confusion. 

James took out his wallet and pulled out a photo from the compartment inside and handed it to Norah. 

When she saw the boy on it with curly hair, dull skin, a pockmarked face, and an introverted and shy expression, Norah finally understood. 

"This is what I looked like in high school." James said. 

So that's how he looked like. No wonder he had low self-esteem at that time. 

It has to be said that first love has a profound and fatal impact on a person. 

Some people get hurt and may not be able to heal themselves for the rest of their lives. 

"What happened then? After you went to college, you should have a better appearance. Have you been in love again?" 

"No." James shook his head. Thinking of something, he added. 

"But two years ago, my mother introduced me to a girl. We two had been dating for a couple of days because of the force from the parents, and then she said that I was too cold and she couldn't stand it, so we broke up." 

Norah listened to it, only to be saddened. 

"Why are you telling me this?" She asked.
