Chapter 2642
Max felt afraid and fearful upon hearing Eliza’s empty and lost voice. “There
are still many things in life. Did you forget about Mrs. Robbins? Since you’re
now Eliza, you should take care of her family. The closest people to you
may be gone, but you can get married and have children. Your husband and
children will be your family.”
Of course, if Eliza was willing, he could be her partner anytime.
However, Max was afraid that it would scare her and she would distance
herself from him.
“Others have said the same, but... My heart's already numb. I don’t know
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthow to love someone anymore.” Eliza shook her head. “I’ve even lost the
ability to love someone.”

Max’s heart throbbed.
How much pain did a person have to go through to end up like that?
“It’s okay, Charity.”
Max strode over and patted her head.
The outline of his features was sharp, but it looked tender at that moment. “Take it slow. There’s no need to rush.
Maybe you loved too hard in your past life that you don’t know how to love in this life. Let the people who know how
to cherish you love you.”
Max believed that there would come a day when Eliza’s heart would gradually open up again.
He was not in a rush.
No one knew how disappointed he was to see Charity move to Canberra with her mother to become a young lady
when he was about ten years old.
They used to be neighbors.
Yet, in the end, charity became the daughter of a wealthy family, while Max and Eliza could only continue living in a
small city.
Back then, he told himself that he had to work hard and become a friend worthy of Charity’s identity.
However, since he was terrible at his studies, he joined the army.
He finally stood out after going through countless rains of gunshots on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, Charity became a prisoner and passed away. He did not even
get to see her corpse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuckily, the heavens gave him another chance.
He knew from the start that his effort all those years was not to become her
friend. All he wanted was to stand by Charity’s side and become her
significant other.
“Charity, do you remember the cartoon the three of US used to watch
together when we were younger? I said I wanted to be a knight, and that
has always been my dream because knights can protect the person they
want to keep safe.”
Even if the princess ended up being with the prince while the knight
remained lonely forever, he was fine with it.
Eliza raised her head and looked at Max blankly. Under the sunset, the
man’s copper -colored skin made him look as handsome as a real knight.
Strangely, she felt something in her heart.
It would have been nice if charity and Jennifer did not move to Canberra,
enter the Neeson family, and meet Sarah and Chester.
