Chapter 69: Let’s take a walk?
"Just so you know, liking someone after a long-term relationship isn’t a sin."
Fil stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling Elijah’s comment before her little brother fell asleep. She tried sleeping, but couldn’t. Aside from the growing fear of another nightmare, her mind just kept repeating her little brother’s remarks.
"What does he know?" she murmured, rolling to her side until she could see Elijah on the floor. "You’re so young. Don’t tell me you’re dating already?"
Fil blew the stray hairs from her face, sighing and shaking her head mildly.
’It’s not like that’s the issue here,’ she thought, laying on her back once more. ’The Heaven and Earth part isn’t either.’
Traditional elites probably wanted someone in their family who came from a wealthy family. Just like the Hale. However, Fil found that sort of mentality hilarious. If that was ever an issue for her, she wouldn’t even dream of Vincent. She was smart, a hard worker, and kind. She always thought that was good enough for society.
So, what was stopping her from having any other feelings for Jackson?
Aside from the fact they just recently knew each other, she hadn’t completely healed. She would still get hurt whenever she saw Vincent’s hypocrisy. The thought of Marianne and Vincent continuing their affair while he was trying to sweet talk her still makes her angry.
’That’s why I took him here, even though I think it’s a huge gamble.’Her eyes softened a bit. ’Because I know I can’t give him what he wants. At least, not right now.’
