I think this thing will probably become a scar for the rest of my life, unless I am the strongest enough to make others forget my past.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and then I heard Sienna's voice. "I used to be ignorant. I thought it was good for you and Harrison to be together. He could take care of you well, and the rest is not important. But now I think I must wake you up."
"What's wrong?" I felt a little uneasy.
Sienna was so serious that I had never seen her before, and I seemed to be able to guess what she was going to say next.
Sienna looked at the cake on the table and dug it with a spoon again and again. "Look at the different cakes of the four of us. It's like our different lives. If you want to integrate them into each other's lives, you have to experience many things. After experiencing them, you may even find that they are not suitable for each other."
I didn't say a word and listened to her quietly.
I can understand what she's saying. My life is far from Harrison's. She's worried that we'll be together because of our momentary freshness. She's even more worried that after this period of time, it won't be the most suitable for us to find each other. Harrison is a man who can't care less.
But I am a woman, the most brilliant time of a woman's youth. I have passed more than half.
"I've thought about everything you said," I said softly.
Sienna tilted her head to look at me and asked doubtfully, "In my impression, you are not an impulsive person, so do you really have feelings for Harrison?"
Before my mother passed away, I would have said that I didn't really love Harrison because I had thought of using him. After all, with a man like him by my side, it would save me a lot of trouble. But slowly, I couldn't figure it out.
The comfort and danger around him are basically equal to me.
When Abbie treated me like that, she didn't give up, including what Maisy had said to me. I had also considered whether Harrison would dislike me because of that. But when the truth was exposed in front of him, I suddenly wasn't afraid.
At least in this world, I didn't hide anything from him.
I raised the corner of my mouth and muttered, "Love is the most difficult thing to grasp, and so is my feelings for Harrison. At first, I was unwilling to give up on him, but I didn't know that when I didn't know it, my heart had already been placed on him."
"Maybe it was because I didn't understand it at that time. Anyway, it was already like this when I understood it." After that, I looked at Sienna.
There was no surprise on Sienna's face, only a faint smile. "I saw dependence on you."
"Re rely on me?" I was puzzled.
These two words were too far away for me, just as far away as a sense of security. In the past, I hoped to find dependence and a sense of security from the other party. Later, I gradually found that these two things were not given by anyone else, but by myself.
If you were lucky, you might find a lifetime of dependence and a sense of security. If you were unlucky, you would be like me.
Sienna nodded and explained, "Your conversation is completely different from before. Now the conversation between you and Harrison is more or less like an old couple's. It seems that you have understood what the other person wants to say and do. It seems very natural."
Hearing this, I immediately laughed. "I think you're overthinking things."
"I didn't think too much. It came from inside out, and your dependence on him is the same." Sienna said firmly.
