Chapter 475
Ariel gaped at this. She initially wanted to help Leon win back Iris’s heart out of kindness, but she never thought Leon would reject her outright!
“What happened in the past should stay in the past. Since she no longer trusts me, there’s no point in me begging her to change her mind. The fact that she has mistrusted me once means that there likely will be a second, third, and God knows how many times.
“Even if you helped me win her back this time, what will happen in the future? What if she still chooses to mistrust me if something else happens down the line? Am I supposed to beg for her to change her mind again and again?” Leon said solemnly.
He could not help recalling the term he came across on the internet recently–the word, simp, would perfectly describe someone like him if he were to beg for Iris’s forgiveness over and over.
Besides, Iris was not the only one who mistrusted him, even Elder Young and Gilbert were the same.
If he were to put down his ego and beg for Iris to take him back, this would not change the rest of her family’s minds. If they were to get back together, he would have to suffer disrespect and humiliation from Iris and the rest of her family!
Leon was not willing to give up the last ounce of his dignity. The only thing he could do now embraced his work and prove himself worthy instead of begging Iris to take pity on him.
“What are you going to do from now on? Are you giving up on Iris?” Ariel’s heart leaped into her throat. She was having conflicted feelings–on the one hand, she hoped that Leon and Iris would be able to reconcile, yet on the other hand, she was secretly longing for Leon to give up on Iris so she would have a chance.
“I don’t know, but I guess I’ll just take things a step at a time. If an opportunity arises, I’ll try to win back her heart, but if not, I guess we were never meant to be,” Leon replied, sighing.
The truth was, he wanted to get Iris back again once he proved himself worthy of her love, but he was worried that it would be too late by then!
“Don’t worry. I promise I’ll get back on my feet again,” Leon replied, smiling.
