began. You lied to me for him, stayed in the hospital to take care of him, and now you want to break. up
with me for him. Do you really like him that much?”

developed feelings for you.”

seriously affected my emotions and life. I should just end this relationship immediately. Yet, I constantly
couldn’t resist seeing you. Every little thing you did felt like a storm to me!”

you and that I keep giving in to my feelings.”
“Estelle, you can leave without emotion, but I can’t anymore!”

a little bit attracted to me?”

embrace, bending down to kiss her forcefully.

wasn’t Charlie, and he was willing to love a woman and spoil her!
