Seeing the pained expression on Elizabeth's face, Victoria couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
She quickly walked over and asked, "Did Kyle bully you?"
"No," Elizabeth's lips turned pale from biting too hard, her voice choked, "I just talked to Kyle and we agreed not to contact each other anymore."
"Just pretend like we never knew each other,"
"Liz, actually..." Victoria felt uncomfortable in her heart and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of Elizabeth's eyes, "If you have feelings for him..."
"No," Elizabeth grabbed her hand tightly, holding it in her palm.
With teary eyes, she looked at Victoria,
"Victoria, even though I have feelings for Kyne... but Kyle must have done a lot of things to bully you in the past. You are my good friend, and if I have to choose between him and you, of course I choose you."
Victoria's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but hug Elizabeth.
"Liz..."
Elizabeth hugged Victoria back, her arms trembling slightly as she pressed her forehead against Victoria's shoulder. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, "I just didn't expect that I had actually met him two years ago..."
Just now, Kyle said that no matter if she would despise him in the future, he would always remember that snowy Christmas night.
He would always remember the little girl who handed him a red apple.
He also said that he had been looking for her for two whole years.
But Elizabeth couldn't understand why Kyle would care so much about a stranger like her, yet couldn't treat his own sister, Victoria, better.
Why would he treat his own family worse than a stranger? If he could treat Victoria well, she wouldn't be so repulsed by him...
Not far away, Kyle watched as Victoria and Elizabeth hugged each other, his brows furrowing tightly.
He didn't know when Victoria became interested in racing.
If it weren't for Victoria wanting to watch the race, he could have continued pretending to be Kyne and spend more time with Elizabeth.
But now, Elizabeth knew that he was Kyle, and she decisively chose to stand by Victoria's side and cut off contact with him.
If... he started treating Victoria well from now on, would Liz not despise him anymore?
No.
Why should he treat Victoria well?
It's all that jinx Victoria's fault!
She made Elizabeth dislike him so much!
...
Victoria held Elizabeth's hand and returned to their seats.
Carl looked over and raised an eyebrow in surprise, "What's going on? Why does Elizabeth look like she's been crying?"
"She didn't cry," Elizabeth actually didn't shed any more tears, but her eyes were still slightly red.
"You're still denying it, but your eyes are like little rabbits," Carl teased as he crossed his legs. He glanced at Victoria and joked, "Did she just experience a breakup?"
"..." Victoria didn't know how to respond.
Carl really had a big mouth, always bringing up sensitive topics.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and said softly, "I haven't even been in a relationship yet, so how can I have a breakup?"
"A breakup is not a big deal, there are plenty of handsome men in the world. When you have time, I'll introduce one to you!" Carl snapped his fingers confidently.
"You want to introduce?" Arnold couldn't help but mock, "Forget it, with your track record, the guys you introduce will be just like you, playboys. Don't harm the poor girls."
