âI told her that I would marry her and give her a home, but she didnât agree,â Paul turned around and looked through the glass at the woman lying on the hospital bed. For a moment, he felt very aggrieved.
âI donât know why, but she just doesnât trust meâ¦â
Amelia followed his gaze and glanced at Eva in the ward.
âItâs not that she doesnât trust you, itâs that sheâs afraid,â
Paul didnât understand. âWhy is she afraid?â
Amelia lowered her eyes and after a moment of silence, she spoke. âPaul, I can tell that Eva has feelings for you, and precisely because of that, she wonât dare to gamble her future on you.â
Hearing that Eva had feelings for him, Paul opened his thin lips, wanting to refute Amelia, but she interrupted him softly.
âIf I were Eva, I wouldnât dare to agree to marry you either, do you know why?â
Paul shook his head, honestly, he couldnât understand womenâs thoughts, women were really complicated to him.
Looking at Paul, who was trapped and didnât know what to do, Amelia sighed again. âBecause she canât accept that the person she loves will betray her one day.â
Upon hearing this, Paulâs deep star-like eyes filled with layers of confusion, but Amelia just looked at him and smiled gently. âIf Eva gives you everything and agrees to marry you, I believe that with your current love for her, you will definitely have a happy marriage. But in some year, some month, some day, or even some moment in the future, if you meet someone you love even more, what will you do?â
âI wonâtâ¦â
âDonât say that so early, when you met Eva, did you ever think of abandoning Kayla?â Ameliaâs words made Paulâs face change slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
âI donât love Kayla, I never planned on being with her for the rest of my life. Kayla and Eva are different in my heart.â
Amelia nodded without refuting Paul. âI understand what you mean, I just wanted to tell you that Eva doesnât agree to marry you because sheâs afraid that one day sheâll see you cheating and it will drive her crazy.â
The more you love someone, the more you fear being hurt. Instead of being hurt in the future, itâs better to cut off all feelings in advance. Thatâs how Eva thinks, right?
Amelia understood it very well, Paul was not James, he didnât give off the same reliable and faithful vibe, so Eva didnât dare to take the risk.
After understanding the implied meaning behind her words, Paul felt somewhat powerless and leaned against the cold glass window. âWhy do you all think that I would cheat?â
