The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 467

The moment the words left her mouth, Sarah regretted them.

Now everything was out in the open. She couldn't hide it anymore.

She tried to backpedal frantically. "No, wait, what wedding? I misspoke, I meant..."

"Sarah."

Jocelyn forced her chaotic thoughts into alignment, maintaining absolute clarity.

"You're a terrible liar. And... I'm not that easy to fool."

Sarah offered a bitter smile.

"I know you're smart. So smart that I sometimes envy you. I always thought you were God's favorite. Not only are you gorgeous, but you're brilliant. Whatever you do, you do it flawlessly. Even when it comes to things you aren't familiar with, you pick them up in an instant..."

"You're wrong. I am no one's favorite. If I were, I wouldn't have ended up living the life I did in the Evans family."

A wave of bitter sorrow washed over Jocelyn's heart.

"If I were favored by fate, I wouldn't have finally found my biological mother only to lose her immediately."

"If I were favored by fate, I wouldn't still be in the dark about whether my biological father is dead or alive."

"If I were favored by fate, I wouldn't have suffered three years of misery and humiliation in the Lowell household."

Sarah's chest tightened. "I'm sorry."

Jocelyn offered a faint, melancholy smile.

"We're just like you—ordinary people. Maybe I shine a little brighter in a specific field, but that doesn't mean you aren't outstanding in your own right."

"So, Sarah, don't envy me. I should be the one envying you."

"A happy family, doting parents, the freedom to live exactly how you want. I really do envy that."

They stared at each other for a long moment, emotions swirling heavily between them.
