After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up

Love Story6 Chapter 13

The night before I was planning to leave Paris, I made plans to drink with my best friend.

"How are things progressing with Darius?"

My friend looked me up and down: "Tsk tsk tsk, looking at your radiant face and skin so soft it could ooze water, I can tell Darius has been treating you well."

"T'd better not hold him back. I don't want to be in a relationship or get married."

"Everly, why are you punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes?"

"Moreover, it's not fair to Darius either."

"They say the predecessors plant the trees, and the successors enjoy the shade. I agree with this saying, but there's no reason for the current partner to suffer for the ex's wrongdoings, right?" "That Cassius was no good, but Darius is a man worth entrusting yourself to."

"Why are you biased against Darius because of Cassius?"

"I'm not biased against him, it's just that I haven't gotten over this hurdle myself."

"You haven't gotten over that hurdle? You've been psychologically manipulated by that dog Cassius for seven years, and now you feel you don't deserve true love and happiness." Hearing this, I was stunned.

Is that how it is?

Because of the pain and entanglement brought by the constant on-and-off relationship due to insecurity.

Because of the extreme lack of security, I became overly cautious.

So subconsciously, I doubt everyone and the whole world.

Convinced that I won't receive wholehearted love.

But why can't I deserve sincere love?

Those who betray true feelings must swallow a thousand needles.

But for those who have loved sincerely, heaven will open a new window.

"Darling, do you know how wonderful you are?"

My friend hugged me, gently swaying: "So beautiful, with such a great figure, able to support yourself since college, even supporting me on the side, both gorgeous and capable and kind-hearted. If I were a man, I'd marry you even if it killed me!" "You deserve to be loved, Everly. You deserve to be cherished by the best man."

"Not wasting away with a man like Cassius."

"Trust me, baby, he will regret it. For the rest of his life, he won't be able to get over losing you."

"Now, call Darius immediately."

"And cancel your flight ticket. Don't think I don't know you're planning to run away again."

I looked at my friend, my eyes gradually welling up: "Do you think Darius and I will end up like this too?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I believe that a man with enough self-control and who would rather be alone than settle, after getting the girl he likes, will never be stupid enough to let her go."

"Do you think he's a pig like Cassius?"

I shook my head. Of course, he wasn't Cassius.

"So, call him now, baby."

"You can't imagine how happy he'll be."
