Loreen could feel Charlie’s gentleness when he wiped the tears off her face. At the same time, she could not help but feel that her heart was in extreme pain as she listened to his firm and emotional love confession for Claire.
At this time, Loreen said in a hoarse voice, "Charlie, if Claire really loves you, I will never do anything to bother or interfere in your relationship at all.
However, you know very well that the only reason why Claire is together with you is simply because of the promise that she made to her grandfather. Do you really think that things will work out if you are the only person putting effort into this relationship? Why don't you just let her go and think for yourself for once in your life?"
After she was done speaking, Loreen sobbed as she asked, "In what ways am I inferior to Claire? Tell me s o that I can improve myself and try to catch up with her. Please do not reject me just like that. Why won’t you give me a chance?"
Charlie shook his head slightly before he said," Loreen, sometimes you do not understand a man's mindset. The reason why you fell in love with me was because I was kind to you. This is also the reason why I fell in love with Claire. She was kind to me and this i s enough reason for me to choose to stay by her side to love and protect her. As for whether she truly loves m
e or not, I am not in a hurry to figure it out. I still have a long time to understand, explore, and change myself bit by bit so that I can figure out if Claire is in love with me. It is the same way with you. Although I have already told you repeatedly that I am a married man and I have no interest in any other woman other than Claire, you are still confessing your feelings to me, time and time again."
Loreen understood what Charlie was trying to say. 1
The way that Charlie was treating Claire was exactly the same way as she was treating Charlie. 1
Loreen came to a sudden realization because of Charlie's words.
At the same time, she could not help but feel a little uncomfortable after the enlightenment. 6
Just as Charlie was unwilling to give up on Claire no matter what it was, Loreen was also unwilling to give u p on Charlie.
Loreen wiped the tears off her eyes before she looked a t Charlie and said stubbornly, "Since you do not want t o give up on Claire, I am also unwilling to give up on you. Since you can wait patiently for Claire to love you, I can also wait for you! It does not matter how long I have to wait for you because I am willing to wait for you even if I have to wait forever!"
Charlie could only sigh as he said, "Alright, then. Since you have already decided, I will respect your decision."
After that, Charlie checked the time on his watch before he said, "It is already getting late. You should g o back to your bedroom and rest." 1
Loreen nodded slightly before she said, "You can go back to your bedroom first. I want to sit here for a short while.”
Charlie nodded before he turned around and walked u p the stairs.
After Charlie left, Loreen was filled with mixed feelings and emotions as she sat on the sofa. 1
