" I always want to tell you that. "
At that time, Claire took a breath. Over and over again in unease as Ashlen was looking up to her with a desperate gaze after his earnest confession toward herself.
For her, this situation was extremely unreal. She didn't do anything to make Ashlen fall in love with her nor did she try to make his genuine heart direct to her even the slightest. For Claire herself, love does not exist. In the past, for her whole life, she had done everything for everyone to look at her even if only once but all her effort was never successful. It was love that made her hurt and tormented in her past life. So the things that Ashlen is doing right now have never crossed her mind even once. She never did something that would make this man fall in love with her, which she is very certain of. So why, Ashlen? What makes you in love with someone as pathetic as me?
