Dior could not help asking again, "So, you hate him, but you can’t help having feelings for him in the past few days? Your heart just opens to him against your will?" "You can say that." Charmine sighed and looked up at the sky full of stars, unable to mask how troubled she sounded.
Dior could not help laughing. "Ahaha! And here I thought it was something serious! Is this it? Why are you overthinking it? Maybe he had a reason for being heartless back then. After all, everyone could tell how much he loved you before that; he'd give up his life for yours! How could he fall for another woman so easily? Who knows, maybe there's something he can't tell you, which explains why he acted that way, and now that it's over, he came back for you. Don't you think so?"
Charmine halted.
He had a reason? This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
What reason could it be? There was nobody in the world who would threaten him!
StilL.what Dior said did make some sense as well. 2
In the past, Anthony would do anything for her. How would he fall in love with another woman so easily?
Did he really have his reasons, then?
If he did, he could have told her about them. Why did he take such a different route instead?
Seeing Charmine still conflicted, Dior said, "Whatever he's going through, even if he's with Waverly now, you're the one he cares about. You're adored by someone else's husband, while Waverly is still so
proud of getting with him! If she finds out how well Anthony is treating you, that he came all the way here to protect you and would give up his life for you, oh, she'd be pissed!" 2
Charmine was speechless.
What logic was this?
Dior continued advising, sounding as though experienced, 'Think about it, too: What had Anthony done for Waverly? He merely gave her a title. His true heart has always been with you. Who knows, perhaps her family is threatening him with something, and he had to marry her. That’s why he did this to you. He’s always loved you sincerely."
Charmine pursed her lips.
Thinking back, Anthony had only given Waverly a title and a few other superficial things, but nothing else.
For Charmine, however...he offered her his heart sincerely, evident especially in the past few days. She had seen everything he did for her.
It seemed that Anthony had been treating her like how he did when they were together.
Dior held Charmine's shoulder and concluded, "Charmine, since when have you become so uncertain? Just let it be; let it take its course. Don't overthink it. If Anthony is treating you well now, enjoy it. Even if he's going to marry Waverly one day, he's now with you! Just treat it as taking a go at Waverly, and just think of it as taking it easy on yourself, too. After all... you're the one suffering if you go against him!"
Charmine halted and was unable to stop Dior's words from ringing in her ears.
Since when had she become so uncertain?
Yes, she should let it all be.
She should take a go at Waverly and rest easy. 1
She was the one who suffered when she tried to antagonize Anthony, too.
The confusion in Charmine's gaze dispersed as her eyes became clearer. " Thank you for tonight, Dior. I think I know what to do."
Grinning happily, Dior pulled Charmine closer as she gazed up at the starry sky. 'That's my girl! Life isn't that serious, so why overthink it? As long as you’re happy now; that's all that matters!"
Just like her and Harry.
He had been utterly heartless toward her from the get-go. If she did not take a chance, how could she have come so far?
Harry gradually opened up to her, too.
Charmine nodded and suddenly felt what Dior said at the end made a lot of sense.
