NovelEnglishMy vision gradually became hazy. It took me a little while to realize that I was on the verge of tears.
A heart that I couldn’t get, no matter how hard I tried. It was painful to keep chasing it forever. I was filled with frustration and unwillingness.
Something hot was slowly and unceasingly running down my cheeks.
I could never be his. I would never be seen as his woman.
…I could never belong to Duke.
Duke already knew how he felt about me early on, and I still tried to confess my feelings to him.
It was a complete bust…. he didn’t know how cruel it was to a girl in love to say “I want to remain friends”, do you? Duke.
I just wanted him to see me as a woman.
I stifled my voice and cried incessantly.
Once the thoughts overflew, I could no longer stop them. In this warehouse, I could be just another girl. Let me have my broken heart just for today.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTomorrow, I would return to my normal self at the school…I would give Duke the same bright smile I always gave him.
“Really…, I just…, I just…, I just loved Duke….”
I sob, sobbing, and I just let the tears pour out.
I had never expressed my feelings like this before. For the first time, I realized that I was heartbroken.
From the beginning, there was never any room for me between those two. But I fell in love with him…
I wanted to stop thinking about a man who didn’t like me at all, either. I wanted to fall in love with someone who liked me.
But it didn’t work out that well, did it?
I could not change my feelings with logic.
I wanted to let out all of these feelings to someone. It was painful to continue to hold on to these feelings.
“Liz~?”
I heard my mother’s voice from far away.
No way! My mother was coming this way?
I hastily wiped away my tears. I couldn’t hide the redness in my eyes, but if I told her there was dust in them, it would be okay…
Before I could say, “Yes!” in a hushed voice, the door to the warehouse opened with a clang.
When she saw my face, her eyes widened a little. I smiled deceptively.
“Liz, are you okay?”
My mother looked at me worriedly with her eyebrows raised in a figure of eight.
“I’m fine. Is something wrong?”
“…Oh, yeah? That’s good. I’m going to the fruit store with Max. Do you mind if I ask you to watch the house?”
“Sure, go ahead. Take care.”
I replied as usual, but mother was somewhat puzzled.
“…Liz, do you want to go with me as well? If you came home tired, I thought you might want to relax at home.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAh, I was making mother feel uncomfortable….
“No, I’m fine. I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”
“Really?”
I felt a little annoyed by my mother’s persistence. I would like to be left alone for now.
“Yeah, have fun!”
“…Liz is also an important family member. You will always be a part of our family.”
“I know already!!!”
I shouted out loud, unconsciously. I could feel the air change instantly.
For the first time in my life, I had raised my voice against my family. Even I was surprised that I said it like this.
What should I do? What have I done to my mother?
Holding my mouth with my right hand, I slowly looked at my mother.
I saw my mother’s surprised expression. After that, her face was covered with sadness.
