Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to relationships. If Raquel had received the same treatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded.
However, Marven was a completely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a bad image if she was going to be completely honest about it.
After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was any less morally aware!
“B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up.
While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a few of the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurt because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there.
The two continued walking on until they arrived at the garden located right outside their campus.
Upon finding a place to sit, Marven soon found himself sobbing as he said, “It’s all my fault, Brother Gerald! While Raquel may have attacked you, please place the blame on me! After all, it’s true that I was the one who had humiliated her in front of all those people!”
Though he had indeed received a kick to the chest from Raquel, Gerald simply remained silent. It was because he saw his past self in Marven.
Back then, he had been willing to get beaten up just to keep Xavia safe!
Understanding Marven’s pain, Gerald then patted him on the back while saying, “Alright, alright I won’t… For now, let’s focus more on getting you to stop crying… Still, you told me that both of you had quite a good relationship! No offense, but that scene from earlier clearly suggested otherwise!”
“Well… We truthfully were on good terms in the past… After all, both of us grew up together! However, once Raquel got into college, she began changing rather drastically…”
Marven then began detailing his past with Raquel to Gerald.
Both of them had apparently been extremely friendly with each other in the past, up to the point where Marven would always stand up for Raquel whenever she got bullied in school.
The worst bullying Raquel had ever received happened when they were in their fourth year. Back then, Raquel’s path had been blocked by a few older students.
Being the immature youngsters that they were, the older students had assumed that they simply needed to write a love letter to Raquel for her to fall head over heels for them. When that obviously failed, all of them ganged up on her. Marven however, came to her aid and fought against all of them.
