Chapter 1483
Kisa’s body jolted, and she instinctively sat up straight.
Peter grinned and dropped his gaze.
"He said he had been just as desperate as me once upon a time, but he ended up with absolutely nothing."
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Kisa.
"So, do you still carry a torch for him?"
Kisa pursed her lips.
"He is the only man I have ever loved."
"Uh-huh, his predicament is totally different from mine. At least you love him. But Jolina..."
Peter's lips curved into a self-deprecating and bitter smile.
"What's the point of clinging on? I'm scared she'll end up dead. Gilbert told me you almost died in front of him once, and that was the most terrifying moment of his life. If Jolina dies, I don't think I'd be able to keep on living. So, I need to let go. I still want her to have a good life."
Peter's voice was laced with discontent and helplessness.
Kisa felt a pang of sadness listening to Peter's words. She tried to reassure him.
"Don't think of it that way. It's just that your way of loving her is too extreme, and she can’t handle it. Maybe she doesn't
dislike you as much as you think."
Peter chuckled wryly and looked down.
"I'm well aware of what she feels for me. The man she fancies has always been someone else. A bright and wholesome dude, irreplaceable in her heart."
Kisa suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then she asked," What about Gilbert?"
"After he talked me down last night, he took off from the Webb residence."
