Edward's feelings forwere so strong, even he couldn't hide them from himself. After he finished speaking, a
shadow passed over his face.
“I know there's no way you'd ever say yes tobecause of Ryan. I've been trying to clear my head and think
things through these past few days,” Edward said, suddenly opening up more.
I looked at him blankly, completely at a loss for words.
Edward muttered in frustration, “Love really messes with your head sometimes. | know | shouldnt have feelings
for you, but | just can’t control my heart. Guess that makesa fool.”
| was a little startled, but | tried to comfort him. “The fact that you can say all this just shows how rational you
are. It’s not something to laugh at-it’s just how people are.”
Edward glanced at me, a bit lost. “Really? That's just how people are?”

I nodded. “Liking someone is something anyone can do, but holding back takes real strength. Not everyone can
manage that.”
“Don’t you think I'm a little crazy? There was a moment when | just wanted to break free and throw everything
aside,” Edward said, a hint of self-mockery in his voice as he laid his feelings bare.
| thought to myself, unrequited love is already one of life’s greatest tragedies. Even a casual jibe from others
could feel like a knife to his heart.
“As long as you can stay rational and pull yourself back in time, that’s not crazy at all,” | said softly, trying to
reassure him.
Edward suddenly smiled and nodded. “Alright. | don’t care what anyone else thinks, but as long as you don’t see
| finally felt relieved seeing Edward start to get past those feelings,
Right at that moment, my phone buzzed-Sophia was calling.
| picked up, and Sophia immediately started hurling insults at me. Finally, she snapped, “Victoria, you seriously
can’t mind your own business, can you? You actually had someone follow me? Do you have any shat all?
Just worry about yourself, okay?”
| pulled the phone away from my ear, not wanting to listen to her yelling anymore.
Edward had obviously heard everything too. His voice went cold as he asked, “Doesn’t your brother's girlfriend
work at a bank?”
| nodded. “Yeah, didn’t you help her get that job?”
Edward's expression showed he remembered now.

Just then, Sophia was still ranting on the phone, “Why do you think I'm looking elsewhere? It’s because your
whole family is so tight-fisted. You're loaded, but you won't even letborrow your car. If Aiden had the money
to buy a house, do you think I'd care that he’s broke? You're all just guarding against me, treatinglike | don’t
even belong here.”
| frowned. “You and Aiden aren’t even married yet. Calling you an outsider isn’t wrong, is it?”
“Finally, you're saying what you really think, Victoria. You got dumped by your man, and now you can’t stand to
see anyone else happy. Too bad you're so pretty, but you still ended up as an ex-wife. You went after a younger
guy, showered him with money, love, and attention, and he still kicked you to the curb. | heard you're running
back to Hachester with your tail between your legs. What's wrong, can’t find a man out there, so now you're
back to begging your ex for cash?” Sophia knew all about my life, and it was true—the people who know you
best always know where to stick the knife.
“Sophia, if you're going to act like this, at least have the guts to admit it. Stop yelling and just break up with
Aiden already,” | said coldly.
“Break up? Fine by me. | won't lose any sleep over it. I'm about to becthe loan department manager
anyway. Aiden’s such a blockhead—he was never good enough for me,” Sophia bragged, clearly proud of her
upcoming promotion.
| looked up at Edward.
He'd been listening to everything on my phone, and when he caught my look, he seemed to get the message.
Without a word, he stood up, clutching his phone, and walked out.
“Congrats on the promotion. Hope everything works out for you,” | said, and hung up.
| called Aiden right away. He sounded defeated, but much steadier than before.
“Sis, she admitted everything. She said the other guy promised to introduce her to clients, and even said he'd
buy her a house in Braylin. Is it really true that no matter how hard I try, it'll never measure up to a single
promise from someone else?” Aiden’s voice was full of disappointment.
| knew how hard things were for young people nowadays. Without family backing, most had to carve out their
own path the moment they left school.
