Carle frowned as he couldn’t get his head around it.
Is Sheen saying all these to get me to give up on Liz? I’ve never…
Carle balked at that thought. A memory from three years ago resurfaced in his mind.
Three years ago, the three of them had gone on a trip, and Sheena had gotten drunk. She kept holding
onto his hand while giggling. She kept whispering to him and focused on him the entire time. He hadn’t
thought too much about it then, but thinking back to that day, along with her reactions these few years,
he had a clue what she was feeling. He did not know what to say to her.
Sheena should know that feelings cannot be controlled. How can I date her when all I think about is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa? Sheena must know since she has kept quiet this whole time. Did she say all that to counsel me
today?
Carle lowered his eyes. He did not know what to say and had no desire to say anything.
“Give up, Carle,” Sheena said to him seriously.
Carle’s heart jumped.
Give up? How can I give up?
Although he and Elisa never had any moments with just the two of them, he couldn’t bear to give her
up. He felt like he had won the lottery of a lifetime when she agreed to date him. He was elated.
“Give up, Carle. If you go on like this, you will only make things harder for you and Liz.”
“So… It was because of my accident that Liz…” Carle raised his pale face to look at Sheena. He did
not continue his assumption.
The situation was as clear as glass, but he couldn’t bring himself to accept it. He deluded himself into
thinking Elisa accepted him because of his advances.
Sheena exhaled quietly, “Carle, are you still unwilling to accept it?”
Carle’s pupils shook. I shouldn’t have woken up from that accident. I wouldn’t have to deal with all this
sorrow.
All of a sudden, the dam blocking Carle’s emotions broke. His calm eyes were filled with sorrow,
disappointment, and bitter acceptance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFat tears rolled down Sheena’s face. She did not know if they were from the adrenaline of confessing
to him or seeing him heartbroken.
Carle panicked when he saw her crying. He stood up and quickly brought her some tissues.
“Don’t cry, Sheen. I…”
Sheena took the tissues from him but did not dare to look at him. She didn’t expect things to turn out
like this. She did not want to cry out loud, but she couldn’t keep her sobs in.
“Sheen, don’t cry. I’m sorry I made you sad.” Carle tried to console Sheena.
They were all friends. Sheena had never stepped out of line in their friendship, but he had blatantly
shown affection to Elisa without caring for her feelings. Carle was recently challenged by the
appearance of Gareth Wickam and Will Darcey, but Sheena had been feeling the pain he felt now since
ages ago.
