True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1775

One would compromise not for any other reason, but because of the deep love they had for the other party.

It was the same for Maria. She thought lowly of herself when it came to love.

Ernest's eyes narrowed as if he had been touched by her words.

He heard Maria continue saying, "I know everything is behind us now. I still feel the pain when I think about it."

"It's behind us now." Ernest found her mindset unique.

"It's indeed in our past now. I don't think anyone could move on this quickly. I just happened to be able to tell right from wrong," Maria said.

"Leah is not as wise as you." Ernest smiled bitterly.

"You're wrong. It's not like Leah can't tell, she's just affected by your attitude. She was misled," Maria reminded him, "It all comes back to you, Ernest. She only left you because she thought you still had feelings for Celeste. She thought Celeste was more important to you. Your attitude is what matters here!"

"My attitude?" Ernest frowned. "What's wrong with my attitude?"

"Your attitude makes Leah think that you still love Celeste." Maria pointed out sharply.

In an instant, Ernest was shocked. "Since when did I love Celeste?"

He used to have a crush on Celeste, but it was too far to claim that he loved her.

"Look, you don't even know where the problem lies." Maria spread out her hands. "How can you expect Leah to be with you?"

"What about Liam then?" Ernest suddenly grew curious to know what exactly went wrong between him and Leah.

Maria smiled bitterly. "He apologized to me, and also told me about his feelings for Celeste."

"But Ernest, if my guess is right, you haven't been honest with Leah regarding whatever that is between you and Celeste, have you? That's exactly why Leah left. She didn't feel like you loved her as much."

"Besides, it was Leah who confessed her feelings for you in the first place, wasn't it? I believe she was also the one who wanted to get intimate with you first, am I right?"

Maria looked at Ernest, her gaze mixed with doubts and contempt.

Ernest's brows furrowed. He took another deep breath and said, "Is this what you women talk about together?"

Maria nodded. "Of course, we talk about everything."

"Just like how you have talked about your crush on Celeste with Liam. We talk about our own secrets too."

This was beyond Ernest's expectations.

Why would Leah mistake him for still having a crush on Celeste?

He was still holding onto his laptop. His gaze was distant for a while before saying, "I thought that Leah didn't trust me, and that made me angry. It didn't occur to me that our misunderstandings stemmed from us not trusting each other."

Maria shrugged and said, "Ernest, you have to spend more time together to build the trust. However, you and Leah were not only geographically separated, but also not making enough time for each other. Leah already came all the way here to visit you. That showed how much she loves you, yet your attitude killed everything she had for you."

Ernest couldn't come up with anything.

Maria stared at him for a while and said, "Did you change your mind? Are you coming back with me? You might get to meet Leah and talk things out."

"Do you think I still have a chance?" asked Ernest.

His tone was a little desolate.

He was not confident in himself.

"The opportunity is in your hands," Maria clenched her fist and waved it in front of Ernest, "Just go and apologize to her. I believe you can make this work again. Leah loves you too much to not forgive you."

Ernest looked at his laptop again and hesitated.

"What is your answer then? Are you coming back or not?" Maria was getting anxious. "If you still refuse to come back with me, you will never get to fix this."
