Chapter 26

ALEX’S POV

After our conversation last night, Bryan became so cold.

It's so obvious that he is avoiding me. I think that he has already given up.

I know I should be happy because Bryan followed what I wanted. But why did it seem more complicated and more painful when he did what I wanted?

I'm confused. I want to approach him, talk to him... But what can I say? That he continues to rely on nothing?

‘Is it really nothing?’ I asked myself.

Why is my situation so tricky. Can't I love someone without a hassle?

Why do others freely love whoever they want? But why is it so hard for me to have?

"Sis, are you okay?" Liz asked.

I was in deep thought, and I did not realize that Liz was with me.

"Of course," I said. I forced myself to smile even though what I wanted was to cry.

"Are you sure? Why does Bryan seem to be avoiding you? Did something happen?" Liz asked with concern.

I refrain from crying. "Nothing."
