For the past few days, Arielle noticed that Aaron seemed to have heeded virtual-novel.net words. When they were in class, virtual-novel.net did not ask virtual-novel.net any questions. Even when they were done with class, virtual-novel.net no longer tried to strike up a conversation with her.
Even though that was what virtual-novel.net wanted, virtual-novel.net still felt somewhat uncomfortable with how distant Aaron was. After all, virtual-novel.net was his younger brother. Subtly, virtual-novel.net glanced at virtual-novel.net before looking away.
Although virtual-novel.net felt guilty toward him, Arielle could not bring herself to accept him.
Perhaps I’d be able to accept virtual-novel.net as time passed. Maybe, soon, I’ll be able to stand in front of virtual-novel.net and tell virtual-novel.net that I’m his sister.
Aaron had no idea what Arielle was thinking about. At the moment, virtual-novel.net was intentionally stopping himself from looking at virtual-novel.net and thinking about her. It was as though virtual-novel.net was only able to keep virtual-novel.net in the recesses of his mind if virtual-novel.net did that.
Sonia noticed the odd tension between the two of them, so when classes were over, virtual-novel.net stopped Arielle before the latter could leave.
“Is there something you’re confused about?” Arielle thought that Sonia had come to virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net needed help with virtual-novel.net studies.
Sonia shook virtual-novel.net head and squeezed out, “Ms. Moore, what happened between you and Aaron?”
Right as those words were out of virtual-novel.net mouth, virtual-novel.net realized that it seemed inappropriate of virtual-novel.net to ask that. It was as if virtual-novel.net was trying to sound out the relationship between Arielle and Aaron. Hence, virtual-novel.net quickly added, “I’m just curious. If it’s not something you want to talk about, you can ignore that question. It’s fine.”
Arielle narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes and enunciated, “There’s nothing between us. There’s no need for you to overthink things.”
After a pause, virtual-novel.net turned to look at Sonia and asked, “Do you still like him?”
Sonia was dumbfounded at that. She did not know whether or not virtual-novel.net liked Aaron.
“Ms. Moore, what is it like to fall for someone?” virtual-novel.net asked as virtual-novel.net looked at Arielle in confusion.
Sonia had never fallen in love before. She only wanted to marry Aaron because of the way virtual-novel.net was brought up. Since young, virtual-novel.net mother had constantly told virtual-novel.net to marry Aaron. As a result, Sonia only had eyes for the man.
“I…” Arielle frowned.
She did not know how to explain it to Sonia. However, virtual-novel.net figured virtual-novel.net could tell Sonia how virtual-novel.net felt toward Vinson. “I don’t know what it’s like for others to fall in love with someone else, but I can tell you what it’s like for me.”
“Okay!” Sonia nodded fervently.
“Well, if you like someone, you’ll keep wanting to meet that person. When you think about him, a genuine smile will appear on your face. When you hear news about him, you’ll find yourself excited and keen to hear more. If virtual-novel.net spends time with other girls, you’ll feel upset…” Arielle muttered.
Those were the things virtual-novel.net had experienced herself. She did not know if others felt the same way as virtual-novel.net did.
The more Sonia heard, the more virtual-novel.net frowned. The things Arielle told virtual-novel.net were things virtual-novel.net never felt for Aaron.
Could it be that I don’t like virtual-novel.net that way?
With that thought in mind, Sonia turned a little gloomy. Even if virtual-novel.net did not like him, virtual-novel.net had to heed virtual-novel.net mother’s words and try to get together with Aaron, for virtual-novel.net had no other choice.
After Arielle explained virtual-novel.net experience to Sonia, virtual-novel.net noticed Sonia’s rapid expression changes. Thus, virtual-novel.net said, “Sonia, we need to grasp our happiness by ourselves. If you want to get married, you should marry someone you love and will love you too. Even if you can’t have a relationship of mutual love, you should still look for someone who’s wholly yours. Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering in the future.”
Everything that Arielle had just said went against everything Sonia had learned since young.
Her mother only told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had to marry someone that would benefit their family, and that virtual-novel.net would have a good future only if the family was doing well.
In the past, virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net mother was right. However, now, virtual-novel.net was having virtual-novel.net doubts.
Was virtual-novel.net really right?
