NovelEnglishIt was nice to have a chat with an old acquaintance. Fortunately, I wasn't rushing for the restroom.
"Professor King broughthere," I explained.
He nodded and stared atwith his dark eyes for a moment before saying, "I heard you went through a lot stago. I'm sorry I couldn't help you or..." He swallowed the rest of the sentence and shook his head regretfully.
The unfinished sentence should be "or be by your side".
I understood his meaning, but I couldn't respond to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was not a person who dragged things out, especially when it cto relationships. It would only end up hurting both parties.
Moreover, from what I observed, Matthew's feelings for Helen were growing rapidly.
After he let go of me, it would be easy to notice Helen's goodness.
As a good roommate, I shouldn't be having private conversations with the person she loved.
"It's all in the past now, nothing to worry about. With Colin looking out for me, everything turned out fine." He swirled the wine in his glass and stared into the dark liquid, looking lost in thought. "Mr. White is truly a talented person. I've seen him a few times during high school and was impressed by his demeanor. I just didn't expect you to choose him." "He's a great man." I wasn't sure what else to say. After thinking for a while, that was all I could cup with. Besides, it covered all bases.
"Lulu, I..." He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, tightened his lips, and remained silent for about ten seconds before speaking, "I'm getting engaged." Engaged? I widened my eyes in astonishment. "To Helen?" He nodded and then forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I can't keep liking you anymore. Please don't forget about me." His voice was trembling slightly at the end of his sentence.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
It was not for myself but for him.
His feelings were pure and sincere. Perhaps a part of his heart would always belong to the Luna Lawson of the past which no one could reach. But his present and future belonged to Helen. Content belongs to FindThe place he left forin his heart no longer belonged to me. It was just a memory of his regrets from our teenage years.
It had nothing to do with love.
Matthew may not realized this yet, but I hoped he would cto understand it in the future.
Fortunately, Helen loved him very much. She once said marrying him was her lifelong wish. It was not bad at all as her wish was coming true.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew's family definitely wanted him to marry someone with a similar background.
I would rather that woman be Helen instead of someone else.
Because she truly loved Matthew.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to open up and fall in love with her.
People said constant dripping wore away the stone, and Helen was that constant drop of water. One day, she would surely move Matthew's heart with her deep affection.
"Congratulations!" I reached out my hand, sincerely wishing him well. That was a good question.
But considering the ambiguous relationship Matthew and I once had, as well as the prejudices his mother had against me, I suppressed the desire to attend their engagement party to avoid getting into trouble.
