"I wish I could be like that. I wish that I am attracted to you for other reasons, and not true love. If that were the case, I could put some distance between us. I'd hurt initially, but not for long, and eventually there wouldn't be a hint of regret surging in my heart."
Kevin closed his eyes in pain. In fact, many times, he also had doubts about his true motion. However, his heart was haunted by Daisy's beautiful silhouette when he thought of her, and when she was around his eyes were fixed on her, no matter how beautiful other women were. He couldn't stop paying attention to her, nor could he give up his love for her.
Good. Let me ask you another question. How do you feel when I snuggle in another man's arms? Would you feel your heart bleed, but still come up with all kinds of excuses to justify me? And will you suffocate when you see my tears fall because that man is sad, and my smiles blossom because that man is happy? And what if I am nice to everyone, except you? Will you still feel okay if I ignore you? Do you feel the pain of your heart being torn apart if that happens? Tell you what, I did feel that way. My heart was torn apart when Edward was messing around with other women."
Daisy's voice trembled as she slowly revealed her heart. Her eyes were filled with tears as she recalled her agonizing past. These were her most tormenting memories, full of grief and helplessness, leaving behind a wound that would never be ignored or healed.
Have you ever regretted it? Is Edward worthy of that?" Asked Kevin. At the start, he imagined Daisy's marriage with Edward to be one without love. Thus he thought that married as she was, he could still win her heart. But today, after listening to her story, he suddenly realized that he would never be able to do that. Edward was the winner; he had already taken her heart. But he pondered Daisy's questions. Had he ever had such feelings for Daisy, like hers to Edward?
No, he didn't think so. When he watched her affectionate interaction with Edward, it was sad for him, but not to the point of grief. Seeing her tears and smiles caused by Edward's misfortune or luck, he felt lonely, but never felt that he had to separate them and replace Edward. If he had felt for Daisy the feelings she had mentioned, he would not have married Leena. But if he was not really in love with her, what had he insisted on all these past years?
When you finally fall in love with someone, you will understand. Whether she's excellent or mediocre, rich or poor, she's always shining in your eyes. You will always love her, despite everything and everyone. And her merits and the foibles could only lend charm to her. She's so unique to you and you can't bear to be separated from her. She's your only love."
The expression on Daisy's face softened as she spoke. A faint smile graced her lips, and sparkled in her eyes. As long as she thought of her love for Edward, she was radiating happiness.
Daisy, you love Edward so much. But are you really happy with him, even if you are crawling, begging for his love?" asked Kevin, who leaned against a pillar. As he gazed at Daisy, his eyes were filled with sadness. He even thought to himself, that her description about love was too good to be true. Were these words her excuses, with which she wanted to scare him away? Nonetheless, he would do what she wanted, and he had already decided to let go. What was more, he was now a married man. He shouldn't get involved in an extra-marital affair. If he didn't let go, he would only prove that he was a shameless person, who didn't deserve anyone's love.
Yes, I am happy with it. As long as he is with me, even if we are under the bottom of the hell, it would be a paradise for me. Speaking of which, Leena is a good girl. As long as you try to love her, she would never betray you. And with time passing by, you will fall in love with her eventually. You're worthy of her love, and she you."
Daisy smiled. Leena was a pretty and lovely girl. Even an indifferent person like Daisy would be deeply attracted by her, let alone Kevin. All they needed now was time. She believed that in the near future, they would fall in love with each other, and become an enviable couple.
"I know she's a good girl. Rest assured, Daisy. Since I married her, I'll be responsible for her. As for love, let nature take its course. As an old saying goes, 'Where the heart leads, a man must follow.' I believe my heart will guide me along my path. I hope for a day when she is the only one in my heart, and my love for her as great as my love for you."
He was not sure what was bound to happen in the future. But he was willing to try and love her. Anyway, having chosen her, he needed to make an effort for their happiness.
"Pay more attention to her. You've seen that she is well-loved back home. Knowing that choosing a soldier as her husband is the same as choosing loneliness, she was still willing to marry you. Knowing this, you can't do her wrong, whatever happens."
Daisy knew how it felt when she loved Edward but wasn't loved the same way in return. She wasn't so sure whether Leena was in love with Kevin as she thought, but she didn't want her to feel the same agony she had felt. Her agonizing past didn't suit anyone, especially a lovely girl like Leena.
"I'll pay attention to that. And thank you again for not distancing yourself from me." Kevin smiled. To tell the truth, since their first meeting, he had never seen through Leena Leng. It seemed that she was pretty self-willed, but every time she would behave considerately. It was impossible for him to tell exactly what kind of woman she was.
Why should I distance myself from you? In my heart, you are like my brother. There's no need for me to stay away from you just because of things that aren't true. You've aided Justin and me when we were deserted, and never stepped aside when we were in need. And today, I didn't mean to blame you or scold you. What I'm doing now is trying to tell you the truth, like a real friend has to do. And I mean to protect Leena, nothing more,"
Said Daisy with a slight frown. She didn't want their relationship to be stiff, so when she was talking to Kevin, she tried her best to avoid tough words, so she wouldn't hurt him.
"I'm happy to hear it. I think you've got a lot on your plate, so you probably need to go get some work done. I'm good, and I need some time to sort things through.
But you can rest assured. I've been able to handle this matter so sensibly for so long, I wont do anything inappropriate in the future. I've had no improper thoughts since I got married, because I take my title as husband seriously. And let bygones be bygones. My love for you is merely a beautiful memory.
Kevin forced a smile. Then he turned away to his office, lip tightened into a line. Although with a touch of sadness, his handsome face was still full of a soldierly demeanor.
Daisy sighed inwardly as she watched him walking away. She had said everything she could to advice him. Anf now she had to leave it to time. She hoped he could lift himself out of this, and live happily ever after. People were always stuck in small problem s. But once they got free of their improper thoughts, and stopped overthinking everything, all of these things would come together.
