Chapter 160 Bubbling Hostility Caused By Jealousy.
The look of an unrequited love, Owen knew it all to well because during his second year of high school, he had experienced it.
It was winter that year and the third year running of his unrequited love towards Leonica when she brought home some tanned skin looking guy, claiming he was her boyfriend.
Cassandra, Benjamin and even his own mother had been glad. They treated the boy like he most definitely was going to be part of their family, but he was different.
That was the first time Owen had ever been hostile towards anyone. He refused to be in the same room as Leonica ex boyfriend, talk with him, heck, even look his way. That was just how much his unrequited love at that time had made him jealous.
And then with the belief of a sixteen years old, he thought that getting a girlfriend of his own would erase his feelings for Leonica.
So, when a girl in his class confessed her feelings to him, he had agreed to be her boyfriend, but even then, his feelings didn’t disappear and seeing Leonica with that pretty boyfriend of hers angered him even more.
And then one day, his girlfriend had broken up with him after saying these words, “It’s clear that you love her more than me.”
Owen didn’t bother denying her claims at that moment as even he knew that was the truth.
He had gone home that day and sat outside, his mother joining him later, after realizing the turmoil he was going through.
She had comforted him and had told him, “Just wait and see. You might end up being surprised.”
And those words were exactly what had kept him going. He had held onto the hope that one day, Leonica would realize his feelings, accept them and return them.
