Chapter 414: Reiner - Same Yearning
“I know who you are. You’re Natalia Rosenhall...” Rachel said in a low whisper.
I wondered what my identity had anything to do with any of this, but I was willing to find out.
“You’re right. I am Natalia Rosenhall. I wasn’t trying to hide it or anything...” I confirmed casually.
“Knight left me once and I found out later that he went after you. But he’s back now. He returned to me, and I’ve decided not to let him go a second time,” Rachael said determinedly.
Reiner left this island to find me? I’ve guessed as much but it felt different now that I was hearing about it directly. I wondered when he left this island and why he was searching for me exactly. My guess was that he probably felt guilty about what happened to my mother. Reiner worked for the Rosenhalls for many years even before we came into contact. I knew without a doubt that he gave up many things including his life here just to get close to me.
I looked at Rachael and the determined look and passion in her eyes. I could understand her determination and that was probably because I shared the same determination. Unfortunately, our goals were the same and we wanted the same man. In the end, only one of us would get him. Either that or neither of us would get him.
“I’ll be honest with you. I had no idea about Knight’s relation with me or why he went looking for me at first. If he hasn’t told you anything then I don’t think it’s my place to tell you anything about it. As for whether you can keep him with you or not, that doesn’t really depend on me,” I said calmly.
This doesn’t depend on me at all. If this depended on what I wanted, then Reiner would be with me already. If I’ve learnt anything about Reiner, it is that he’s got a mind of his own and he will do things his own way. He was still engaged to Rachael, and I wondered if he truly intended to marry her with or without love.
“I think the fact that you’re here is making him confused and hesitant,” Rachael said accusingly.
