Chapter 231-240

Chapter 231
Ronan must be dying to know the identity of the man I loved. He had an insatiable curiosity, which was why I definitely could not tell him anything.

If he were to find out that Michael, his own cousin, was the man I loved, I guessed he would take it pretty hard.

“It doesn’t matter who he is,” I argued. “He’s nothing but someone insignificant in my life anyway. No matter how much I like him, it would be impossible for us to be together even in the future.”

I felt awful saying it. It was like I was giving up a part of something within me. I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to forget Michael with the passage of time. Maybe sometime in the future, I would be able to say his name without having the same heartache as I did at this moment.

“Since you are destined to not be together, why don’t you give me a chance instead? I’m very fond of you, and I’m certain that I could give you love and happiness.”

Everybody was selfish in their own way. Though Ronan appeared to feel sorry for me, I was sure that he was hoping with all his heart that I would not end up with my mysterious lover.

“You’re talking nonsense again,” I chastised. “Haven’t I told you before? You’re like a little brother to me. I’ve also told you many times that it is impossible for us to be together.”
