"Therefore, this isn’t something that we can decide as i f we're still teenagers. We have to think carefully and consider everything before we come up with a mature decision." 5
Jacob replied immediately, "I can’t accept what you've just said. I know that you still have feelings for me deep down in your heart and I have feelings for you too. Since we still have feelings for each other, why can't we get through this together then?" 7
As he spoke, Jacob forcefully asked, "Matilda, I want you to tell me the truth. Do you have any feelings for m e now?" 5
Matilda was slightly embarrassed as she replied, "How do you expect me to answer your question? After all, w e were both deeply in love and we had such a good relationship back then. We were each other's first loves and we have already been deceiving ourselves for more than twenty years now." 5
After that, Matilda replied, "I've already told you what I feel about this matter. We shouldn't only be considering our own feelings in deciding our relationship."
Jacob cried even harder and he looked like an aggrieved child who had suffered a lot of grievances. 7
He had already been suffering too much emotionally
for so many years. That was the reason why he felt such great comfort when Matilda came back home.
As soon as he saw Matilda, he realized that his life has always been in dire straits for the past twenty over years. 5
