Upon hearing those words, Madelyn felt a pang in her heart and couldn’t help but reach out to embrace the tall figure of Josiah. Josiah, why are you so kind to me?”

After that, with a touch of emotion, Madelyn said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be waiting for your return. The significance you hold for me extends far beyond just a good friend. In my heart, you’ve already become my family. Promise me that after you enlist this time, you must strive with all your might. You can’t afford to just drift aimlessly through your days anymore. You must strive to be the pride of your family. Stand up for your parents and your elder brothers. You have to prove yourself stronger than Hayden. Show those in your family who look down on you that you are indeed capable. Could you, please, make sure to chase away all the past indifference, ridicule, and contempt you’ve ever received from your life?”

The m

reason Madelyn spoke those words was because she genuinely hoped that Josiah could live a life of brilliance and integrity from then on.

True gold shouldn’t be buried in the dirt for too long, Madelyn sincerely hoped that Josiah could shine with his own unique brilliance.

“Thank you for your kind words.”

At that moment, Josiah was holding Madelyn tightly, overwhelmed with emotion yet also harboring a regret that he found difficult to voice.

There were words he longed to utter, yet he dared not, nor could he.

He could only let those words turn into a gentle breeze, circling endlessly within his lungs, blocking his throat, then his chest, before finally swallowing it back into his stomach.

At the same time, there was an unprecedented determination in his eyes.

The reason Josiah dared not voice out was actually because he felt he was not accomplishing much at the

moment.

Even if he were to confess his feelings, it wouldn’t do much if he couldn’t make her h

Thus, in Josiah’s mind, he thought it would be better to wait until after he had achieved his goals to share his thoughts and feelings with her. By then, it still wouldn’t be too late.

With that in mind, Josiah finally found it in himself to let go of Madelyn.

With a smile, he said, “All right, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep them waiting too long.”

“All right.”

Madelyn gave a slight nod, and the two of them started to walk back.

Halfway through their walk, Madelyn happened to glance over and saw Tristan and Jillian standing together under a tree not too far away. The atmosphere between them seemed somewhat suggestive.

Seeing this, Madelyn quickly urged, “Hush!”

Following that, she took losiah’s hand, and the two of them hid behind a thick tree, sneakily–cavesdropping

said, “Jillian, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time.”

“What is it?” Jillian asked.

Jillian’s voice was as soft as a whisper, barely audible. Fortunately, the night was serene enough that Madelyn could just about make out what she was saying

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Tristan suddenly summoned all his courage and shouted at Jillian, “Jillian, 1 like you!”

Gasp!

From a distance, Madelyn was listening, and she simply wanted to cover her ears. Tristan is truly one of a kind He’s making a simple statement sound like a solemn oath

Following that, Tristan continued, “Jillian, the reason I’m telling you this now is because I’m worried it might be too late if I don’t. If I didn’t tell you that I like you, what would happen if I were to join the military and you ended up with someone else? What if I returned from service to find you married to another man? I can’t even bear the thought, Jillian. I swear that never in my life have 1 ever been so fond of someone. Hence, w–would you be willing to be my girlfriend? If you’re willing to be my girlfriend, I promise I will definitely marry you when I return from the military!”

Though those words were somewhat clumsy, they were undeniably endearing.

Tristan felt an unbearable tension in his heart that was unlike anything he’d ever experienced. He mused to himself that even after a hundred fights or a thousand bottles of liquor, he’d never felt such unease.

At the same time, he was pondering. What if Jillian isn’t interested in me and rejects me? What should I do then?

At that moment, Josiah, who was not too far away, witnessed the whole scene. He couldn’t help but curse inwardly. That’s just great! This cheeky brat actually dares to make the first move, confessing his feelings to the one he likes. Just wait and see how I’m going to deal with him later!

At that moment, Madelyn was thoroughly engrossed, her face constantly adorned with a caring smile.

In truth, she had long noticed Tristan’s subtle feelings for Jillian, but it had always rem understanding.

Jan unspoken

Unexpectedly, after all the waiting, she had the chance to witness. Tristan confessing his love firsthand. It truly satisfied her gossip–loving heart in every way.

In contrast, Jillian was rather slow on the uptake.

Although Madelyn had hinted at Jillian, saying Tristan had feelings for her, Jillian had always been hesitant to believe it

In Jillian’s heart, she believed that no normal guy would ever be fond of her.

To her surprise, she found herself being confessed to by Tristan’at that moment.

In an instant, Jillian’s face turned so red it was as if it could drip blood.

For a moment, she didn’t dare to make a sound.
