Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut now, after seeing the news, he knew it was tfor him to let go.
Let her go...
Thinking about it, Carle steeled himself and gave Elisa a call.
On the other hand, Elisa was about to get back to work after a break.
She picked up the phone as it rang and saw Carle’s non the screen.
She wasn't surprised to receive his call. She knew he had wanted to talk to her.
Although reluctant, she still answered the call.
“Hey, Carle.” “What are you doing?” Carle's asked gently.
Hearing Carle's voice, she realized that they hadn't talked for a long time.
Elisa felt guilty for shunning him, but at the stime, she felt relieved and peaceful when she was spared of his presence.
Whenever Carle cto her, she would feel stressed for no apparent reason. But she didn’t tell him that, lest she hurt his feelings.

Indeed.

He thought his effort had paid off, and Elisa had finally agreed to be his girlfriend.
But in the end, his devotion turned out to be a waste. He was nothing but a joke.
Everyone knew what was going on, except for him, who foolishly believed that he had finally changed Elisa’s heart and that she had fallen in love with him.
