Chapter 178 Lump in Throat
Rory never put his heart on her. Should I continue this unpromising hidden love? Thought Viola.
She felt tired, but she was reluctant to let go…
When will Rory give up on Nova and have a look at me?
“Well, have you ever thought of giving up?” Viola looked at Rory and asked.
The chauffeur was driving in silence. He never took an interest in his boss’s affairs.
Rory showed a trace of dolefulness in his eyes. He subconsciously turned to Viola and produced a bitter
smile.
“Viola, you have a crush on anyone?”
Viola’s heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned by the question.
Rory didn’t expect an answer from her, and he continued all by himself, “I didn’t fall in love with her
merely
yesterday or the day before yesterday. Protecting her had become an instinct of mine over the years

never extravagantly wished for her love. But… if she is willing to get together with me, I will definitely
keep her
close at my heart, and I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance in this life.”
Viola’s expression became more complicated.
To what extent does Rory like Nova?
But she laughed at herself the next moment. There’s no need to ask.
What Nova to him is what he to me.
Dearest love will make one help his or her beloved one to attain happiness.
Therefore, even if Viola knew Rory had a crush on Nova, she wouldn’t be jealousy. She would only feel
bitter,
but she would back Rory up without trying to attract his attention.
“Viola, what’s the matter?” Hearing her laughter, Rory turned around and found tears streaming down her
cheek.
Rory’s expression changed. “Have I offended you? Why are you crying?”
Though the chauffeur didn’t want to take himself concerned with the love triangle, he still subconsciously
looked at Viola through the rearview mirror in the middle of the car.
Viola came back to herself. She wiped her tears and tried to explain, “It’s nothing. Just some old stories.
occurred to me. I’m fine. I drank too much today.”
Rory frowned, and, obviously, he was not convinced. And he asked with concern, “Something worries
you?
Some pressure from your family? You have any trouble with anything? You can tell me. I could help you.”
Viola felt her heart rended. Rory is being so nice to me. How could I give up on him?
She felt so painful!
“I’m fine.” Viola braced herself up and turned to the darkness of the night to keep Rory out of her sight.
She wanted to avoid all kinds of communications with Rory, because she feared that she might confess

Her confession would make their relation awkward. By then, Rory might alienate her, which was the least
thing she ever wished for. If she couldn’t be his sweetheart, she might as well continue to stay by his side
as a friend. She was satisfied with the way she had always been in.
In this way, at least she could have him drinking with her when she felt sad. However, if she confessed,
he would avoid her.
Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything, Rory had no choice but to say, “Though I like Nova and I pay
attention to her, you girls are my friends as well. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me any time.
Whether
I am capable to solve it or not, I will try to help you.”

Viola only felt a lump in her throat. She restrained herself from crying. She just humphed as response.
She
didn’t dare to speak for fear of crying out.
Rory didn’t notice Viola’s expression, and he turned away from Viola slowly. The car was shrouded in
silence. The silence was broken when they arrived at Viola’s home.
“I’m getting off.”
