"Do you really think we should ignore the elephant in the room?" Leah pondered. In fact, she thought that it was rather suitable in this situation.
Sometimes, turning a blind eye to some matters could guarantee happiness.
Hadn't she been clear-headed before? Why was her mind suddenly muddled when she encountered love?
Leah gave a wry smile. She was starting to dislike herself.
"Yes, there are some things that you just have to leave alone. Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers in the end," Maria knew how Leah was feeling as she had felt the same way before as well.
"Well, that doesn't sound good, does it?" Leah laughed bitterly, "I'd love to pretend that nothing happened, but I just couldn't. I didn't expect Ernest to react like that the minute I mentioned Celeste. It looked as if I had seen through his thoughts! He looked humiliated for a second, then he suddenly flew into a rage. To be honest, I know he hasn't done anything wrong, but I just can't understand why he would act like that." "In other words, you're not mad at him because of Celeste, right? You're just offended and frustrated that he got angry at you for asking him questions. Is that right?"
Leah nodded firmly.
That was true.
Maria nodded in understanding and sighed, "If I were you, I would feel the same. However, Liam is still able to face Celeste without cowering away, so I think he's truly gotten over her already. But even if he hasn't, it won't matter to me. I will still love him."
Maria proclaimed her love for Liam very boldly.
No one in the world would be able to love Liam as much as she did.
She had flown all the way to London and enrolled herself into the same university as him.
Even though Liam had gone back to Northern City, she had remained in London.
When she was younger, she had pursued her love for her idol endlessly.
It seemed like this love had made her grow.
Liam had finally become her boyfriend. As such, Maria would not let anything trivial come between them. There was no way she would focus on issues like that.
To her, the important thing in this world was to have Liam remain by her side.
She admitted that her love for him had made her foolish.
However, there was nothing she could do. She just loved him so much.
"Leah, in a romantic relationship, the first person to fall in love will always be the most foolish one," After Maria said that, she turned to look at Leah and found that Leah's face had turned pale.
At that moment, Maria realized that Leah must have fallen in love with Ernest at first sight.
They had only known each other for less than a year since summer vacation. However, it seemed that falling in love with someone was not limited by the time spent with the other person.
Leah had really fallen head over heels for Ernest.
Between the two of them, Leah was probably the one who confessed her feelings first.
When Maria saw Leah's reaction, she instantly realized what the girl was thinking.
The first person to fall in love with the other in a relationship would always be the one who had to suffer most. Leah seemed incredibly disheartened.
She turned to look at the sky outside.
They were in London.
She was the one who decided to come to London.
Therefore, even if she was suffering for her decision, she had technically brought it upon herself.
She calmed herself down a little and nodded in response to Maria's words, "You're right. I fell for him first, so I'll have to endure it. I liked him first after all, isn't that right?"
"Leah, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just saying that you should just let it go. I'm sure that Ernest feels the same way as you do," Maria was worried that she would say something wrong, but she couldn't bear to see Leah look so disheartened. She could only attempt to comfort Leah, "I really think you should just let the past go. Think about it. If Ernest doesn't like you, why would he still be with you? I really think that he's made up his mind to marry you."
Leah gave her a wry smile and asked, "Maria, do you think that I'm probably his rebound? He might just be with me because he couldn't get who he wanted in the first place."
Maria suddenly froze.
After a long pause, she nodded, "So what? You love him, don't you? Since you love him, why should you care about that?"
Leah was stunned and fell silent.
She picked up her glass of honey lemon that was served to her by Pedro and took a large gulp. For some reason, the lemon made the drink especially sour.
After swallowing it down, the sour taste it left in her mouth made her clench her teeth.
Her heart felt just as sour.
In the end, she smiled, and thought that she was just wallowing in self-pity.
Then, she downed the whole glass.
As the drink was very sour, she thought that it would be best to down it all at once.
