Chapter 390 From Now Onward

Alastair sat quietly at the side. He knew Stainley was into his mother, but she was not interested at all.

Everleigh would always feel awkward whenever Stainley was around.

Hence, how could she possibly fall in love with someone who always made things difficult for her?

"Since when have you become so straightforward?" Stainley asked in a deep voice.

Everleigh lowered her head. She didn't want to do it, but then, being evasive and subtle with him every single time would only give him more false hope.

Christopher was right. She shouldn't have held back on Stainley just because she felt grateful towards him. It would only hurt him more. 

"Actually, I should've done this a long time ago. Stainley, I know how you feel about me all these years, but I already have someone in my heart, and this is just troubling me. I wanted to talk to you about this earlier, but I didn't want to hurt you," she said. Her voice was as lovely as ever, but her words were as hurtful as a dagger.
