Chapter 296: Interlude: Between a Lover and a Pet (2)
Celine let out a long sigh. Only after hearing my story did she seem to feel at ease. A myriad of emotions flickered across her now-relaxed face.
Relief, joy and a faint hint of sympathy and pity.
Emotions I could hardly understand.
But Senior Elsie was all I could think about.
Celine had always been particularly possessive towards me.
Naturally, she wouldn’t view Senior Elsie’s confession to me favourably.
To her, it must have felt like someone was stealing away a beloved older brother.
Yet, there was a hint of pity and sympathy in her eyes. No matter how much I thought about it, there could only be one possible reason for that.
As a fellow woman, she must have been empathising with Senior Elsie’s miserable feelings.
