Chapter 68 - Eleanors Acceptance (1) (1/2)

”Eleanor…” Myna called out.

Myna could clearly see that this woman really has some affection for him. Instead of running away, she should directly hit it off with him. But this silly girl is suffering from herself both mentally and physically. Myna felt hopeful when she saw that Cedric was standing beside her, like a strong pillar. From the start, she was rooting for them… if not, she wouldn't let them even meet. Given Cedric's perverted behavior she knew her little innocent sister couldn't stand him. But this man was really too good for her. And as the generous friend, it's her part to play cupid between them.

”Hmm?” Eleanor was yanked back into reality when she heard Myna called her.

”You know what?” She started.

”Hmm?” Eleanor gave a confused look to her.

”Sometimes we feel too insecure about ourselves and lose the things that are precious to us. We think that we can hold them only if we become strong enough for them. So, stupidly we leave the love of our lives and chase somewhere and strive for somewhere just to be together with them. But… don't you think it's too stupid. Hmm?”

”You are leaving the person you love just because you are not compatible with him or her because you think you are not strong enough to protect your partners. Do you think your partners are animals or beasts? To the point, they won't allow you to grow up by their side?”

”If you want to be strong enough for your partner… then you have to be at his side and face his struggles with him. And you have to let him know your struggles to face them with him. Why do you need to face it all alone and leave him alone? That's the most stupid thing.”

”And we think ourselves as saints, saying to ourselves that he or she deserves better, I should leave him or her. If they deserve better, they will know it. They don't need your reminder to know they deserve better!”

”Yeah… you may say you are out of his circle, expectations and blah blah blah…. When there are many thousands of beautiful women here, he or she only picks you. Because they only want you. If they want someone else, they won't even come for you.”

”And again, when they find someone else… we will seethe in jealousy to the point that a horse can run on your head. Don't you think, you are being confused? Why do you make it difficult for yourself and him?”

”Just ask your heart and your soul. Listen to their answer and go for it. And if you want to reject him, reject him directly. Don't say excuses, that he is going to snatch the resources that arrived at your company or don't use the excuse saying that you can't reject him right now as he is providing the best treatment for your brother.”

”These problems were there even before he came into your life again. You dealt with them before… it's just you have to deal with them again. You can't be selfish in these things.”

”Cedric Emerson, as grand as his name looks, as grand as his family background looks, you shouldn't forget he is a human too. He might be strong, cold arrogant, and might be many things, but in the end, he is still a human with a heart. And that heart is dedicated to you. Don't pull him into a deep abyss because of your selfishness.”

”And when you say the answer… there is no need for the right time or wrong time. Just say it immediately. If you wait for the right timing… you might lose the chance even before you open up. Okay?” Myna said her long-lasting speech.

Eleanor blinked her eyes at her for a second. She was too engrossed in her talk and didn't realize that Cedric was knocking on her door.

”Eleanor, are you okay?!” Cedric's voice could be heard from the other side breaking her reverie.
