"Was fate really on my side? It made us meet, then as I got the tiny flicker of hope in love, it instantly snatched it away, and when I was going to start with my plan, my own cousin stood in my way as the biggest threat."
Jinhai pulled Nana in his embrace. He rested his head in the nape of her neck. The tip of his nose softly brushed on her skin.
"I was so torn apart. Jianyu is my cousin. He is my brother. I knew how broken-hearted he was when Suyin left him. We had all seen the pathetic state he was in. And I realized that perhaps you could be the woman who would bring him out of it. After all…" he anxiously tightened his embrace, "you are so nice. You are so kind. It wouldn't take much time for him to forget her and fell for you. And I got so angry to know that…I may have to give up on you."
Nana felt her heart clench. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't.
She asked, "Why did you blame me that day?"
