Chapter 178 Stuck in His Throat Carle had never once saw her as more than a friend. Did she really want to carry on this way?
She was tired of this, yet she couldn’t bring herself to let go…
When will Carle finally give up on Elisa and notice her?
“Hey, have you never thought of giving up?” Sheena couldn’t stop herself from asking.
The driver was silently driving. He dared not pry into his employer’s business.
Carle looked around before finally turning to look at Sheena. He chuckled helplessly, “Sheen, is there
anyone that you’re interested in?”
Sheena’s heart thumped loudly. Her face was strained. She didn’t know how to respond to that
question.
Without waiting for her reply, Carle continued to talk as if speaking aloud to himself, “I like Elisa. It’s
more than just a simple crush. Right now, protecting her has become almost like an instinct of mine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver the years, I dare not hope for her to return my feelings but… If she would allow it, I’ll like to keep
making her a priority and if I can, I will not let her suffer.”
It became harder and harder for Sheena to decipher her own feelings.
Carle… Was he in love with Elisa?
She laughed at herself. Did she even need to ask?
His feelings for Elisa were probably the same as her feelings for him.
She loved him so much that she was willing to support him in whatever made him happy. Her love for
him wasn’t selfish. She would not make him return her feelings.
Which was why even though Sheena knew that Carle loved Elisa, she was not envious. She felt a little
bitter, but she would silently watch over him.
“What’s wrong with you, Sheen?” He turned when he heard her self-depreciating laughter, only to see
two wet streaks on her face.
“Did I say something wrong? Why are you crying?” Carle nervously asked.
Although the driver was doing his best to not listen in to their conversation, he couldn’t help but glance
in the rear-view mirror at Sheena.
Sheena caught herself and wiped away her tears. “It’s nothing. I just remembered some stuff that
happened in the past. I’m fine. It’s the alcohol.”
Carle frowned. He obviously didn’t believe her. “Is your family pressuring you? Do you still have some
unresolved issues that you need to deal with? You can tell me. I’ll do what I can to help you.” He asked
in concern.
Sheena’s conviction wavered. He was so good to her. How could she give him up?
Her chest felt so tight that it hurt. Even breathing became painful for her.
“I’m fine.” Sheena insisted. She turned away so that she would not make eye contact with him. She
was deathly afraid that the alcohol would make her say something she would regret.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThings would be awkward if they ever crossed this boundary. Carle might even start to distant himself
from her. She didn’t want that to happen. They may never be lovers, but right now she was fine staying
friends with him.
At least when she was feeling depressed and wanted to drink, he would be there when she called him.
But if she were to tell him, he might start to avoid her.
Carle could tell that she didn’t want to tell him. He felt exasperated. “I may have feelings for Elisa, but
you’re my friend too. Tell me your problems and I’ll do my best to help you.”
Sheena felt as if she had something stuck in her throat. She was trying her best not to cry. She was
afraid that any word she attempted to say will result in her bursting to tears.
Carle was oblivious. He turned back to look towards the front. The car was as quiet as a morgue.
The silence finally broke when they reached Sheena’s house.
