My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1505

"Arianna, tell me. How did you make him fall in love with you? Can you teach me your ways, please?"

Looking at Shirley being so desperate at this moment, she was no longer as dazzling as she was when I first saw her on the plane.

She pleaded with me. Her eyes were brimming with tears. I felt pity for her, and a faint hint of sadness rose in my heart. After a long time, I said, "Leave him, Shirley! Do you still remember how positive and happy you used to be?"

She was astonished and stared at me blankly. "What?"

I grabbed her. My heart was aching for her. "Do you still remember how you looked like when I first met you? You had luscious golden hair and beautiful makeup. Your beauty was stunning. Shirley, you are amazing just the way you are. You don't have to imitate anyone else, nor should you try to become someone else. You are unique, just the way you are. The person who is worthy of your love is the one who can make you shine. When you are with him, you are free to be yourself, the most outstanding version of yourself. What you're doing right now isn't right. You worked so hard to imitate others and you have lost yourself in the process. You made yourself this miserable. How can he possibly deserve your love? He's not worth it."

Her gaze was vacant and she appeared lost. "If I don't love him anymore, where else can I go? He's the only person I have. If I leave him, what else can I do? We still have a child together. What can I do?"

How could a man turn a splendid woman into such a person? I pursed my lips. I really felt sorry for her. I answered, "Shirley, we are all independent beings. As long as you are willing to live for yourself, there are so many ways to make yourself shine. The child is not your excuse. The Granger family can take care of the child. You have to think about how to improve yourself and revert to the confident and beautiful woman that you used to be."

It could not be denied that there were only two most important tasks in a woman's life. One was to improve her appearance constantly, to become the most beautiful and dazzling version of themselves. The other was to make money and enrich her soul. No matter how difficult life was, there was no way that one should stop enriching her soul.

It was not that love shouldn't be trusted, but that love was not only about liking each other. It was also about helping each other improve and become better versions of ourselves, not torturing each other.

I was not sure whether Shirley was even listening to me, since she was utterly wasted. She kept complaining about all the unfairness that Irvin imposed on her. After so many years, he was not even willing to lie to her anymore.

Men were ridiculous. They always sought after things that they couldn't get and never cherished and loved what they had. In the end, they couldn't get what they wanted, while those who loved them eventually gave up on them. Then, they would continue to suffer alone.

Irvin was different from Aaron. I could not be sure whether he would fall in love with Shirley one day, so my only advice for Shirley was to start living for herself. As long as she lived well, no matter who Irvin loved, it would not matter to her.

Life was full of regrets. So what if we couldn't be with the person we loved? Romance and love were not everything in life.

Love was merely a companion in the journey of life so that we wouldn't be lonely. But with or without love, everyone still had to move on.
