A bittersweet feeling welled up in my chest.
I felt like crying.
I called Lorne immediately, "Wah wah..."
During my six-month business trip, he had also been in Chicago for half a year. Now that we were back, he was busy dealing with the backlog of work at the company.
But he always answered my calls instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Especially after hearing my crying, his heart immediately clenched, his brows furrowing, "Don't cry. Did someone bully you? I'll sort them out for you."
I shook my head and asked him softly:
"Have you liked me for a long time?"
"I just found some old photo albums. In every high school picture, you're looking at me..."
I held my breath, waiting for his answer.
He replied with a resigned tone, "Silly, you've only just realized I had a crush on you?"
Only now did I understand that during those three years of high school, everyone knew he had a crush on me.
But back then, I was solely focused on my studies.
