Elisa heaved a sigh and shook her head slowly.
"I've said this before – Carle is like a brother to me, and I've never had romantic feelings toward him. Besides, you girls are well aware of how much I loved Gareth back then. Although I'm ready to move on after our divorce, and I don't have any feelings for him anymore, this doesn't mean that I can immediately fall for someone whom I've always deemed as an elder brother."
Sheena was at a loss for words and sighed in exasperation while Rachel cast a side glance at Sheena with her eyes filled with curiosity. "Sheen, you love Carle so much that you're willing to do so many things for him. Don't you wish to be the one staying beside him?"
Elisa, too, looked at Sheena. Truth be told, she admired Sheena's selfless love. Many people are inherently self-centered, but only a few can be selfless like Sheena. One will yearn to be together with the person he or she loves, care for that person, and be part of that person's life. It is only normal for a woman to be jealous if there's another woman who is fond of her man, too, even if the guy is not interested in that woman. But… this is not Sheen. She will give in forever for the sake of Carle, and she even persuades me to be with Carle…
Elisa was filled with mixed emotions, yet her admiration for Sheena stood out the most. How lucky Carle is to have such a selfless guardian angel who never expects anything in return.
Sheena squeezed a smile and mumbled in resignation. "Of course I do. How I wish to be with him forever til death do us part, but this is not the case in reality – he is not interested in me at all. It's impossible between us, so I rather he spends the rest of his life with the woman he likes."
