The better Oliver was to her, the guiltier she felt. After all, she didn’t reciprocate his feelings in the same way. Sometimes, she felt quite bad for him.
“Oliver, you don’t have to be so good to me…./
puts pressure on me,” she said honestly.
Oliver tightened his grip on the steering wheel, a hint of wryness in his eyes. “Nyla, you can’t actually develop feelings for me beyond friendship, can you?”
Nyla was silent for a few seconds before slowly replying, “I don’t know… But I think I could. Just give me a little more time.”
The car fell silent until they reached her building. Neither spoke.
Once Oliver parked, he turned to face Nyla instead of getting out of the car.
“Nyla, feelings can’t be rushed. You don’t have to force yourself. If one day you realize you can’t like me, just tell me. I’d rather you be free and happy than feel pressured to stay with me because of what I’ve done over these five years,” he said seriously. “To me, your happiness is what matters most.”
A wave of emotion washed over Nyla, making her nose tingle. “But that doesn’t seem fair to you.”
Oliver smiled softly. “There’s no fairness or unfairness here. Everything I’ve done for you and Buddy over these five years was voluntary. You’ve given me feedback too. I’ve enjoyed these five years. Don’t let that time bind you and cloud your judgment.”
He loved Nyla, so he was willing to do anything for her. If she could return those feelings, it would be a blessing. If not, he wouldn’t complain.
Life was too short–just meeting each other was already a blessing.
The car fell silent again.
After what felt like an eternity, Nyla finally spoke. “Okay, I understand. I’ll think about it.”

More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
