Sheena shook her head as she tried to regain control of her emotions.
“No, I don’t blame you.” She sniffed.
Today, she finally spoke out about the feelings she had been hiding for ten years. She never imagined
that she would confess to him in such a circumstance.
Neither of them wanted to break their friendship, but at this point, it was all out in the open.
Sheena sniffled and apologized, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t do this to you.”
Carle shook his head hurriedly. “No, It’s my fault. I shouldn’t make you unhappy today.”
Sheena shook her head and sighed quietly, “I don’t blame you. It’s just that… Sometimes, I can’t hold
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtback my feelings for you. I know you like Liz, but I can’t hide my feelings for you, and I don’t want to.”
Sheena was more firm in her words. She was more blatant in expressing herself this time, as she did
not care if their friendship was ruined. Since Carle knew how she felt, there was nothing else holding
her back. She knew her confession was lacking, but she still felt relieved after spewing out her feelings.
The emotions in Carle’s eyes became more complicated. He opened his mouth a few times, but no
words came out.
Sheena exhaled quietly, “Carle, I didn’t express my feelings because I didn’t want to put you in a tight
spot. It’s the same for Liz; she only treated you as a close friend. Aren’t you worried you would lose a
friend if you go on like this?”
Carle’s face darkened.
Sheena chuckled, slightly irked. “I kept quiet because I feared that would happen. Carle, think about it;
if I had chased you like you chased Liz all these years, how would you feel?”
Carle could not come up with a response. The feelings within him grew more complicated because he
had thought of the scenario. If… Sheena had chased after him as earnestly as he went after Elisa; he
would’ve cut all ties with her not to confuse Elisa.
Sheena sighed quietly, “People will meet hardships throughout their lives. Carle, I know how you feel
and know how much it hurts. But… love comes in all forms. You don’t have to be together to call it love.
Letting go is also a part of loving. Everything else is just selfishness.”

wanted you for myself, I loved you more than I loved myself. I didn’t want to wrong you or make you
sad, so I kept quiet about my feelings. I wanted to make you happy, but… I just couldn’t hide my
feelings anymore. Carle, think it through. If this continues, I fear Liz will distance herself more and
more. Do you really want to see that happen?”
“I…” Carle could not say anything.
Sheena smiled bitterly. She wiped the tears off her face and stood up. “Carle, I’ve said everything I
wanted. I will leave you to ponder it. If we were competing for who’s the biggest loser, I’m sure you
won’t win. At least your parents love you, and you have a good family background. On the other hand,
my parents are still pushing me to go to marriage meetings. Do you know how it feels to go meet other
men when I have someone I truly love?”
