chapter 1489
Charmine had been trying to sleep since the afternoon.
Alas, she merely tossed and turned with all the news related to Anthony on her mind. She was unable to fall asleep.
Helpless, she drank more to numb herself.
The entire afternoon was gone and she had finished countless bottles, but she found herself missing Anthony whenever she closed her eyes.
Maurice looked at the innumerable empty bottles and the cigarette heads. He fixed his eyes on Charmine concernedly as he said gently, "Gem, is there something on your mind? You may tell me."
She had been acting weird all afternoon: hiding in her room, drinking alone, and even smoking. It was concerning.
Charmine gazed at him groggily, pursing her lips for a moment before she mumbled, "Mo, have you been broken-hearted before?"
That instantly made Maurice recall the sight of Anthony back at the hospital, and he found out more about him and Charmine in the past two days.
He sat opposite her on the sofa and said, "There are many things in life worth living for, other than love. You shouldn't ruin your life for a man who doesn't love you back."
Charmine opened another bottle and handed it to him. "I don't want to miss him, but I can’t help it... I feel horrible."novelxo
It hurt when she saw the photos of him with Waverly. It triggered her all the more.
He could have dated anyone, even the artist signed by his company, yet he chose Waverly, whom Charmine hated.
Waverly tried to kill her so many times!
He knew it more than anyone else, yet he still chose her! What was that for? i "Don't feel too sad." Maurice had no idea what else he could have said as he had not been in love before. "Try to let go, Gem. You have a lot of things ahead of you, and you shouldn't punish yourself for this. Since you've loved before, letting go is the best for both. Love isn't as beautiful as it seems, but being single isn't as lonely as it looks."
With an unnoticeable dullness in his eyes, Maurice continued, "Consider my parents. Their romance was applauded by many, and my parents would reach for the stars for the other. However, after marriage, family issues, children, and the small things in life wore them out, they started to fade along with that."
Charmine looked at him bright-eyed as she asked, "Would love fade out after marriage?"
This reminded her of Julian...and Anthony.
She remembered how Anthony started changing after she agreed to marry him. i
Was marriage the tomb of love?
Reluctant to continue their talk of the matter, Maurice lifted the bottle to clink it with hers. "I hope you find joy every day of your life, Gem. If you want to be in love again, the man must make you happy every day. If he makes you sad, he’s not the right man."
Charmine nodded. She agreed with what he said.nvëlx.o
Loving someone should be a good thing. If the person only gave her unending suffocation, such love should not have existed.
She lifted her bottle to clink it with Maurice’s. "I think I know what to do, Mo."
Maurice drank with her and said, "You need time to figure things out, Gem. If something is bothering you, don't go hiding, and don’t smoke either. If you feel horrible, I can drink with you, and we can get wasted together.
After that, though, you need to stand back up and don't be sad, you hear me?" 2
Otherwise, he would be worried about her.From NôvelDrama.Org.
