Even though Robert had the reputation of a womanizer and was rumored to have countless girlfriends, in reality, he never touched any of them.
As a man, he wasn't without desire.
But every time he pursued a woman, a figure flashed through his mind at the last moment.
That figure made his heart ache.
...
The next day came soon.
Lily rushed to the cafe.
She had made an appointment with someone.
It was the man she wanted to introduce to Charlotte.
This man was an old acquaintance.
Victor Stevens had been Lily and Charlotte's classmate in college, as well as Charlotte's ex-boyfriend.
He was good-looking, but he had one major flaw.
He was poor.
He was destitute.
Victor was so impoverished that when he went to the school cafeteria to eat, he could only eat vegetarian dishes because he couldn't afford the dishes with meat.
