Chapter 590
Briana pursed her lips, “Hmm.
Melody sighed and slowly asked, “Do you still like him?”
Briana didn’t speak, but Melody saw her unconsciously tighten her grip on the steering wheel. She knew in her heart what was going on.
“Briana, if you still have feelings for Maxim, I think you could give him another chance. After all, even though he lied to you about the Hector situation, he did it out of fear of losing you. I believe he truly loves you.”
Briana glanced at her, raising an eyebrow, “Didn’t you just say a few days ago that he was a jerk? How come you’ve suddenly changed your attitude?”
“I previously thought he had betrayed you, but after investigating, I found out that he was only with Gladys to make you jealous. Moreover, he never touched Gladys. For such a proud person to humble himself for you, I found it quite surprising.”
Briana chuckled and slowly said, “Indeed, he did bow his head for me, but don’t forget, he also deceived me many times. What I need is a normal lover, not a control freak who fantasizes about controlling my life.”
Melody couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you know how many people wish to be treated by Maxim like this? If it were another woman, she would be so happy with Maxim’s attention that she wouldn’t know which way is up.”
“So I am not any other woman, and I will not compromise with his
unreasonable behavior,” Briana said calmly, her eyes full of determination.
Melody unconsciously looked at her, nodding and said, “Briana, this is why I like you. We all tend to compromise to some extent, but you always stick to your principles, never allowing anyone to cross the line.”
Briana shook her head, “No, I too have abandoned my own principles before, only to realize later that it only made others look down on me even more.”
Since she returned to the Schneider family, she had abandoned her once pride in order to fit into the Schneider family, but what she got in return was the Schneider family’s repeated hurts.
Now she understood, one must love oneself before loving others. If she abandoned all her edges just to please others, it would only make her seem easy to bully.
Melody didn’t speak again, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache inside.
Briana had seen the efforts that the Schneider family and Maxim had made in the past, but at the time, she felt they were not worth it.
