Carle pursed his lips and stayed quiet. He couldn’t understand the look in her eyes.
Sheena knew things were not going well when she saw Carle’s eyes shift. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. She
sighed, “I like someone. I’ve probably liked him even longer than you’ve liked Liz.”
“You…?” Carle was stubbed.
So many years? She’s liked one guy for so many years? How can I not know? It must be someone we know since
it’s been this many years. But how come I never noticed her getting close to another guy?
Sheena interrupted his thoughts as she spoke again, “And I’ve watched as he developed feelings for another girl. I

was in the same agony as well.”
Carle’s expression changed. He could see the emotion in Sheena’s eyes, and it was directed at him! All of a sudden,
he came to a realization!
Could the guy Sheena like…
He suddenly did not dare say anything. He was scared that things would get more complicated if he asked about it.
He hated feeling like this. But at the same time, he suddenly understood how Elisa must have felt this whole time.
Carle suddenly had a guess about the person Sheena was talking about.
Liz must have felt a lot of burden from me liking her all these years. Maybe even fear.
In the depths of his contemplation, Sheena laughed, “Do you know how hard it was for me? I loved him so much
but didn’t want to be selfish. I knew the person he cared about wasn’t me, so I couldn’t tell him my feelings. I could
only keep it hidden inside me and suffer by myself. At least, you could express your feelings, but I… I held it in.
Carle, do you know how that feels?”
Carle could not say anything. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He did not know what to do. He was in
no mood to speak to her, but now, if he did not say anything, Sheena would get even more hurt.
Even though Sheena did not specify the man, Carle knew who she was talking about. He should’ve known that
Sheena had no other guys around her. It was only him. It was obvious the man she was talking about was him.
Sheena sighed quietly, “Carle, sometimes the heavens will play tricks on us. But if two people really loved each

Carle sat in silence.
Sheena sat beside him and smiled, “I would often wish that the girl he liked was me and would dream about
growing old together. But I also know that feelings cannot be forced. Even though I was filled with these wishes, I
knew it was impossible. So, I decided to let him be happy out of my love for him.”
Sheena put a strong emphasis on her last sentence.
Carle’s pupils trembled as he thought about what she meant.
Does she mean I should let Liz be happy?
Sheena lowered her head and stayed quiet for fear of blurting her feelings for him. She had said everything she
needed to. There was nothing else she could say.
