"I am just a young girl. In my mid-twenties. So why should I stop myself from dating? However, when I thought about giving my heart to one man, I found it pretty much unfair. So, I told myself that I would date many. That way, even if one hurt me, I wouldn’t be as hurt that much since there would be still others. Do you find me too much?"
Waylon shook his head, feeling very abnormal, listening to this confession.
When he first heard her opinions about polyandry, he had an inkling that she might be tempted or interested in the matter. But never in a million years did he think that she was already in the lifestyle.
Moreover, he didn’t think that she would share that deep secret with him after meeting him once. He didn’t think that she saw him at the racing club that night.
Did he trust him that much?
Returning to her question, he looked at her solemnly and stretched his hands towards hers, which were on the table, and held them, though he felt nervous and anxious. What if she pulled away, and he got embarrassed?
Luckily, she didn’t pull away.
’They are very soft!’ he exclaimed inwardly, feeling the soft hands in his hands.
Nonetheless, he didn’t forget his mission just because he was holding her hands.
"Diamond, you aren’t too much. The world gave you a hard blow and I understand why you are like this. Honestly, I applaud you and am in awe of your courage," he sincerely told her. After all, he was a coward who didn’t dare brave the feelings he had for her.
Diamond’s face lit up as she tightened her grip, feeling happy that she finally held hands with a guy she was in love with. Moreover, he didn’t find her disgusting or perverted but understood her well. There were many words he didn’t say, but she could tell that he meant every word. That was a good sign to her. She was excited at knowing that.
"Thank you for saying that. It means a lot!" she solemnly said, oozing with gratitude.
Waylon chuckled faintly, not letting her hands go in the process.
After a moment, with her hands in his, he asked curiously, "So, did you manage to follow your dream?" he was curious about that.
Diamond’s eyes lit up upon hearing that and answered without hesitation, "Um. I managed. I dated a pair of twins last year. It was good, and I even saw myself settling down with them. If you were following me at that time, you might have come across a certain broadcast where we talked about engagement."
He nodded when he heard that. "I remember it. You were having a picnic, if I am not mistaken," he responded, thinking back to that moment.
It should be around the time when he started following her earnestly.
There was a sparkle in her eyes when he said that, that Waylon didn’t see.
"Um, but then before we had time to talk further about the engagement, I learnt that the twins were lying to him. One had a sweetheart who had a child. He was seeing her behind my back and started giving me a cold shoulder," her voice turned colder as she recalled how Sullivan made a fool out of her back then.
Waylon’s hold on her tightened when he heard that. He could imagine how hard it might have been for her when she learnt of the truth.
"Haha, but do you know? That child isn’t his. I don’t know what kind of charm was used on him to believe that nonsense!" she couldn’t help but mockingly laugh when she thought about how Sullivan, until now, was still in the dark regarding that matter.
Even Waylon laughed when he heard that. He could tell that she didn’t reveal the matter to take revenge. When that man learns of the truth in the future, wouldn’t he regret it badly?
That would be fun. But what happened to the other twin?
"As for the other, not only did he sleep with someone else whilst knowing that my men aren’t allowed to touch others. But he dared put my family in grave danger. He coveted what I had and put my family in danger. If I hadn’t noticed, they might have been killed. Why should I keep such a traitor by my side?" she scoffed angrily, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes, recalling how bad it would have been if she hadn’t learnt of the truth.
And she didn’t bother to hide these emotions from him.
So, in the future, if you enter into another relationship. Be honest about your feelings. Talk about it if you can’t understand about other things. Don’t wait until it’s too late to see that there are problems. fre eweb\(n)ovel(.)co(m)
