He should have protested vehemently, saying he didn't care about Lylia and wanted to be with her, even if it meant their relationship had to be a secret.
But instead, he immediately gave up, which made Noralia feel so disappointed that tears instantly began to fall like rain.
She clutched the fabric at her chest, feeling as if someone was crushing her heart.
'Why has this happened?' Noralia thought to herself. 'I don't want it to end like this. Could it be... that I rejected him too strongly, and he thinks I don't like him?'
'Or perhaps he doesn't like me, so he gave up on me immediately.'
'Why?'
Noralia's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do next. She could only sit there, crying like a child.
