It was not just her. Constantine, Phantom, and even the unsmiling Pang Xing were engrossed by the story. They also asked why the gentleman left. Humans had a natural tendency toward a good ending. It was more difficult to accept a sorrowful ending for a story.
Xia Fei smiled. "The gentleman left a letter. The lady quickly ran downstairs to read the letter. It stated, 'My beloved lady, I've used my actions to express my affection for you, but now, I shall leave some dignity for myself.'"
The others were left speechless. Avril pouted and said, "The lady is so stupid. If she loves the man, why must she let him wait for a hundred days? Great, the gentleman left, meaning that she's lost her lover, too."
Constantine shuddered as if a surge of lightning was flowing through him. He lifted his gaze and adjusted his glasses. "I understand now. You're telling me that I should leave myself with some dignity no matter how much I love a woman."
