Her childhood memories with Bright saddened her when she remembered them now.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, but she restrained herself from crying. "Bright, what I'm doing today is very much like what Dylan did ten years ago. I keep chasing after you despite your rejection… If possible, I wish I wasn't as mature so that I wouldn't be one move too late, and you wouldn't have been stolen by someone else…"
She bit her lip and felt waves of pain splashing in the deepest part of her heart that she couldn't calm down nor control her emotions. In the end, tears streamed down her face.
"Lina, I haven't been stolen by someone else. I found you a family member, someone who will cherish you and pamper you like I do. Wouldn't it be nice having one more person to love you from now on? Why do you have to think that I was stolen from you? Calm down and don't worry, okay?" Bright's tone was as gentle as possible.
It was difficult for him to watch her cry. After all, she was a girl he loved like a sister from childhood to adulthood. He couldn't bear to see her hurt.
If it was someone else who made her cry, he would definitely not let him off. But this person was himself, and he couldn't let himself be moved.
This was not only about feelings and marriage, but also about his respect for his wife. He wanted Lina to know his bottom line.
"It seems that she has won Bright's heart. Will she really treat me as kindly as you do?" Lina asked him.
"Of course, trust my taste," Bright comforted her and calmed her down. "You'll how great she is once you get to know her."
"Then I want to meet her. Can I?" Lina begged. "You guys got married yet I didn't even give you any wedding gift, so I'll treat you guys to a meal. How about today? I'm in City H already. I want to meet her."
"If she treats you well and can give you happiness, then I won't be worried. I won't want anything else. I'll be your sister and give your guys my most sincere wishes. I'll also respect and love her like how I respect and love you."
Lina endured the turbulent waves of feelings she felt. She wanted to meet the other party because only by knowing her enemy and herself would she be able to win. She needed to know who the other party was, otherwise, how could she say that she loves the love rival when she never met her?
Bright hesitated. He just gave Rose a divorce agreement today. He wondered whether she was done considering.
If she agreed to divorce, then he couldn't ask her to pretend to be a loving couple with him in front of Lina.
He didn't tell Lina about his plans to divorce Rose only because he didn't want to give Lina hope. Even if he got divorced, he would still think of Lina as a sister, and his attitude towards her wouldn't change.
"She has been very busy at work recently. I'll ask her. If she has time, I'll arrange for you guys to meet. If not, then next time." Bright saw her calm down and felt relieved.
"If I can't meet her today, then Bright, please treat me to a meal and take me around. She's busy with work and can't spend time with you anyway. How about you give me some of your time instead?" Lina proposed. In fact, she wanted to be alone with him more than to meet her love rival. She was abroad for three years and hadn't spent time with him properly in a long time.
"Okay. I'll accompany you," Bright had no choice but to agree.
"You can't go back on your promise to me," Lina confirmed again.
"No regrets," Bright said.
At this moment, Lina rushed into Bright's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his narrow waist.
She was in his arms and felt his scent around her as she breathed, a smell that she missed very much.
