Lina practically grew up with Bryan, and they had taken their lessons together. If fact, they were so close that they
could be considered siblings.
However, the circumstances had changed.
Even Lina didn't know how things turned out this way.
“Indeed.” Natalie smiled and nodded. “I didn't see that coming. How did you end up falling for Bryan?”
Lina rolled her eyes at her and answered, “How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't have needed you to remind me
about my feelings for him. I only found out I've fallen for him after you told me.”
Natalie's lips twitched. “You have a point. However, what are you going to do now? Are you planning to get into a
relationship with Bryan?”
Lina lowered her gaze, and her expression turned complicated. “I don't know. I don't know if he likes me. If he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdoesn't, how am I supposed to be in a relationship with him?”
To put things plainly, Lina could be having a one-sided crush on him. Goodness! How did I end up falling for him?
Lina covered her face with her hands, and she was on the verge of a breakdown. He's nothing like the kind of man I
thought I would end up with. In fact, he's far from my ideal partner! Yet, I've fallen for him. What's going on?
“Why don't you just confess your feelings to Bryan? You said it yourself, right? You don't know if he's into you. What
if he is? Perhaps you guys could be together after you tell him about your feelings for him,” Natalie suggested.
Lina clenched and unclenched her fists. It seemed like she was thinking about doing just that.
Soon after that, however, she shook her head. “Forget about it. What if Bryan doesn't like me? Wouldn't things be
awkward if I were to confess my feelings? Besides, we're close. If I confess and things go south, our current
relationship will be ruined. Who knows? Perhaps we might never be as close anymore after that.”
Natalie had nothing to say in response. After a while, she sighed and said, “You're right. In that case, you can't just
confess to him right away. However, you can test him out.”
“What do you mean?” Lina's interest was piqued. “Nat, you mean...”
Natalie nodded. “Yes. You should keep testing him and try to figure out if he has feelings for you. If he does, you can
proceed with your confession. If he doesn't, then...”
Natalie didn't finish her sentence because they both knew what would happen next.
If the guy had no intention of having a relationship with Lina, she didn't need to confess anymore.
That way, they could still maintain the platonic relationship they were having.
Lina thought that was a good idea. She nodded and answered, “Okay, Nat. I know what to do. I'll test him out.”
“Okay. Good luck!” Natalie patted her on her shoulder.
Right then, the housekeeper approached them and said, “Mrs. Thompson, Ms. Cohen, lunch is ready.”
“Let's eat, Lina.” Natalie put the glass of water aside and stood up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLina hummed in response.
Both of them headed to the dining room together.
After they had taken their seats, the housekeeper started bringing the dishes over.
Natalie suddenly remembered something when she noticed the empty seats. She raised her head and asked the
housekeeper, “Hey. Where's Mr. Thompson? Also, where are the kids?”
Natalie was so caught up in gossiping with Lina that she had forgotten about Shane and the kids. I got out of bed a
while ago, but I haven't seen them! They're most probably not in the villa anymore. Otherwise, they would've shown
up when I woke up.
“I thought you would never ask!” Lina looked at Natalie in amusement as she was taking food for herself.
Natalie shifted her gaze toward her and asked, “What? Do you know where they are?”
Lina ate her food and answered, “I do! Sharon wanted to go to the park. Since your husband loves his daughter so
much, he brought her there. Connor, on the other hand, loves his sister, so he followed them as well. They told me
to inform you where they are, so you wouldn't need to worry.”
