Winona Manson bit her lower lip, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She opened her mouth to say something, but her lips were trembling so badly that she couldn’t

Margaret Turner looked up and glanced at Winona. The corners of her mouth twitched and she wanted to laugh. However, after the corners of her mouth had curled up, she suddenly felt bitter.
What right did she have to mock others? Wasn’t she the same?
Margaret suddenly leaned back and covered her eyes to suppress the tears in her eyes. After a while, she said, “Winona, you’re too conceited.
“What makes you so sure that Daniel likes you? Back then, when he went after you, it was just for a bet.” Very few people knew about this, but Margaret had been paying attention to Daniel Sullivan and she happened to hear about it.
Daniel had always been a straightforward person. He didn’t like Winona. Even if it was because of the bet, he wouldn’t play with a woman’s feelings.
He had told Winona the truth straightforwardly and asked her directly if she was willing to cooperate with him by pretending to be his girlfriend.
He would do his best to fulfill his responsibility as a boyfriend and satisfy her to the greatest extent. That year, Daniel had said those words to Winona at the entrance of the female dormitory.
Margaret had happened to hear it.
At this moment, Winona had already recovered her wits. Her heart was still twitching uncomfortably, but her rationality had already returned.
She lowered her head and said calmly, “So what if it’s a bet? The beginning of a relationship is always strange and there are all kinds of reasons. But after interacting with each other, who could say for sure that there’s no truth in the relationship?”
This time, Margaret did not refute.
She was a little frustrated. She pinched her earlobes and said coldly, “Winona, I’ve already told you about Daniel’s situation. If there’s nothing else, let me alight. I have to go home.”
“Margaret.” Winona grabbed her hand and said with reluctance, “You haven’t finished the conversation with me. What’s going on with Olivia and Daniel? I want to know everything. Everything that happened.” Margaret frowned imperceptibly and was a little impatient. “Winona, on account of our past friendship, let me remind you not to fight for this. Daniel has a deep relationship with Olivia Taylor. Back then, for Olivia, he rejected the marriage proposal. Even if it would be a fake marriage, he was unwilling. He relied on himself and spent hundreds of times more effort to get the Sullivan family back.
“In order to wait for Olivia, he didn’t even have a female companion by his side for so many years. Even if he couldn’t see any hope and couldn’t find Olivia anywhere, he still insisted on waiting.”
Speaking of this, Margaret turned to Winona. “I’m sure you know better than me how stubborn he is. Why do you have to overestimate yourself? Why do you have to make things irreparable, to the point of ruining the friendship that you had since you were teenagers?”
This was what Margaret had learned from her own experience back then. Now, she gave this insight to Winona.
Back then, Margaret had thought that, with Olivia having left and not around, Daniel would take notice of her.
She had not been afraid. She had plenty of time and could wait for Daniel to change.
Even if Daniel’s heart had been a rock, she could still seep through it like water.
However, unfortunately, Daniel had been even more patient than her.

That unwavering love that remained consistent from beginning till end. Regardless of whether Olivia was there or not, she would still be the one he liked. It would not change in the slightest over time and space. Such deep affection had touched Margaret and made her terrified at the same time.
She had been touched by Daniel’s deep love and terrified that this deep love did not belong to her.
In the end, Margaret had given up. She admitted defeat. She could not win Daniel over through patience. Facing Margaret’s persuasion, Winona didn’t think much of it. Her gentle and charming face made it impossible to tell her emotions.
She was very stubborn and insisted that Margaret tell her what had happened back then.
Margaret was also stubborn and directly refused to do so.
Hence, halfway through the car trip, she asked Winona to stop the car, got out, and left.
Winona sat in the car and stared at Margaret’s back. At a glance, noone would be able to tell what she was thinking.
After a long time, she said, “Going home.”
