Preslie said faintly, "I have known Yesseca for a long time. Back then, we were just waiters in a mall. I even saw Yesseca and Tremaine's whole history. There were too many twists and turns in their life."
"Whenever we thought that the difficulties would pass and that they could finally be happy, a new problem would appear once more."
Sheldon only sighed.
He said, "This time, I think, I think that it is finally over."
"Yes, I think so too," Preslie lowered her gaze.
The death of an innocent woman marked the end of them.
Actually, this was not the ending anyone wanted to see.
Sheldon did not respond to that.
After a moment of silence, Preslie suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, don't think too much! Anyway, no matter how bitter love is, it does not have anything to do with me! I will focus on my career, and I won't ever have anything to do with love!"
Sheldon was baffled.
After a while, he forced himself to ask, "Why?"
"Because I don't want to experience the bitterness that Yesseca went through, I don't want to go through it again," Preslie spoke in a low voice.
Back in Nashaland, she had some feelings for Sheldon.
She even had a shameless fantasy about them spending the rest of their lives together.
However, soon after that, these thoughts got fainter and fainter, until it finally disappeared.
That was because she was how bitter Yesseca was when she was in love.
This made Preslie, who had never been in a relationship before, scared of love.
After hearing Preslie's words, Sheldon did not say anything.
The same could be said for him.
He did take a fancy to Preslie before too.
However, the love between Yesseca and Mr. Tremaine made him tremble with fear too.
Not only was he frightened, he even thought about it a lot.
He would serve Nashaland for the rest of his life, and he would work for Mr. Tremaine forever.
Preslie was Yesseca's best friend.
Preslie would not leave Yessseca either.
