Chapter 407 Kate’s Worries
Kate gave a heartless smile on intention. “I know!” Olivia asked again, “How is your relationship with Jasper progressing?”
Kate replied, “We are only friends.” “Try and develop something with him then. Who knows you might have a change of heart?”
Kate helplessly sighed. “It would have happened if I could. Do you think I’m silly? I often compare Jasper with Nathan during my sleepless nights. No matter from which perspective I look at them, Jasper is way more outstanding than Nathan, but I have no intention to accept the former. I don’t even have the urge to treat him like how I acted in front of those men who tried to pursue me in the past.”
Olivia uttered, “It’s because Jasper is different from all the other men who previously pursued you. You know that he really likes you, so you don’t wish to hurt him.”
Kate chuckled. “Maybe since I suddenly learned that I’m a rather kind person!”
Olivia consoled, “Nathan didn’t know about your feelings for him in the beginning and he didn’t realize that he, in fact, had been caring for you all along. There are just some people who are really that dense, which is due to the fact that you two are too familiar with each other to the point where he doesn’t consider much about anything he does.
Didn’t you realize that the current outcome is actually similar to what we had planned during the opening of my fashion studio? Although the process went beyond our control, the result is still the same—Nathan broke up with Melanie as he realized his feelings for you. Other than the fact that the process made you a little uncomfortable, the rest of it went smoothly.
However, you need to know that a heavy dose of medication is required to cure a heartbreak. If Nathan hadn’t really wronged you, he wouldn’t have repented. You shouldn’t force yourself to provide an answer; just go with the flow and it’s enough that you know in your heart that Nathan actually loves you.
As for the question of how much he loves you and how long his feelings for you will last, leave it to the working of time. This is not only a test, but also a chance for him to settle down. If he finds himself another girlfriend, you should just give up on him since there’s nothing to regret in giving up on a playboy like him.
However, if he is able to hold himself back and not get a girlfriend but chooses to wait for you, you don’t have to be troubled and can just boldly be together with him.”
Kate had been suppressing her emotions. Right after Olivia finished speaking, Kate could no longer restrain herself and nodded with the intention to tell the former that she understood, but she couldn’t do it. Hot tears welled up in her eyes, causing her to rise to her feet in a fluster. “I’m going to the washroom. You can order some drinks.”
Upon looking at Kate’s disappearing back view, Olivia knew that she wanted to cry alone in private. She helplessly sighed, knowing that nobody could help Kate in such a situation.
Love had always been something inexplicable. It never had a fixed solution—one hundred people would emerge with a hundred different solutions. Only the people involved would know the taste and flavors of their relationship and no one else would have the right to comment on whether they did the right thing. Who could tell whether love, which contained both laughter and tears, wouldn’t be a happy one?
Kate indeed didn’t wish for Olivia to see her tears. Moreover, she never intended to cry her heart out after such a long time. However, after listening to Olivia’s words, she couldn’t hold herself back.
Everything that Olivia said was right—Kate was merely putting herself on the spot and making things difficult for herself.
Her rationale told her that a man like Nathan shouldn’t be forgiven, but emotionally, she couldn’t control her wild thoughts and even thought that maybe they would go their separate ways—just like that.
Every night, she would toss and turn on her bed, especially during those silent nights. She thought that he should be forgiven, even for a slight moment, since she never saw him in such a dejected state. Listening to his words and looking at his eyes only made her feel heartbroken.
However, in the next moment, she felt that he shouldn’t be forgiven. Why should I be nice to him? How could I be so kind to forgive him after he hurt me? Self-respect is a significant value to a person. If I even look down on myself, how can I hope for the heartless man to treat me nicely? Therefore, short-term pain will be better than the long-term pain. This is just how it should be—it’s better for both of us!
Her days were spent in worries—she was terrified to lose him yet she lacked the courage to try again.
