Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1491

Trevor squatted down and gaped at the stunning woman sleeping sound in front of him. Thinking about the incident at the club and everything in between, Trevor raised his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

If she hadn't barged into his life, he'd still be hanging on to Selena. He would probably still be so focused on the past that he'd take no notice of his future!

In fact, he got into a huge fight with his parents when his mother insisted on sending Selena off. It was probably the biggest fight he has ever had with his family, and it was the only time his easygoing mother yelled at him. She called Selena heartless, ungrateful, sly, and many names. Of course, Selena knew nothing of the argument. Trevor was also extremely stubborn at that time. Whatever crimes her mother landed on Selena, he would find a way to blame it on himself. He wanted to show his family how perfect Selena was, and how everything wrong was his fault. It drove his mother up the wall, and she even fell sick after that.

It was then that he finally agreed to leave her side. He had planned to help her continue her studies overseas! However, Selena's illness came out of the blue, thus he sent her overseas so she'd get better treatment for her condition. His mother was too kind to let Selena suffer alone too. He had been assisting her for years, and his mother kept quiet about it. She hadn't agreed to it, but she wasn't objecting to it either. He had even visited Selena a few times over the years, and his mother only hinted for him to keep his distance.

He knew that his mother was afraid of how their relationship would progress!

He was a normal man, so of course, he would get impulsive upon seeing a beautiful lady. However, he knew his relationship with Selena couldn't progress beyond what they already had, so even though some part of him wanted to move their relationship further forward, another part of him found the idea wild. That was why he never laid his hands on her. It wasn't entirely because of her disease. Looking back at his shared memories with that woman, the fear finally caught up to him.

If she hadn't seemed so weak...If she hadn't looked so helpless...If he had seen more than what she wanted him to see-

That woman was truly dreadful!

When Trevor attended gatherings or parties as a boy, he'd see young Selena hiding away in the corner, so he'd give her some gifts or food as a way to, perhaps, comfort her. He'd even give away Caroline's stuff to Selena, which made her exceptionally upset. The thing was that Trevor wasn't the only one doing so. His parents treated Selena similarly too. Even after stepping into adulthood, he'd buy her branded bags and clothes, and she'd get to pick whatever she wanted. Despite that, Selena would never choose the one she longed for the most. She'd choose something cheaper, or something more inferior, which led Trevor to think of Selena as a kind, sensible, and considerate young lady.

The realization finally came to him. After all those years. Trevor really felt as dumb as a pig. Selena never fought for anything, but she'd always get whatever she wanted in the end! Of course she never had to fight for anything. She knew that his parents were impartial toward her. She knew that Caroline would have to give up her stuff sooner or later!

He always thought Selena was receiving the shorter end of the stick, but in fact, it was Caroline! He had been focusing so much on Selena that he totally forgot about his precious younger sister!

Caroline always seemed clumsy and ruthless. She'd get upset, but they'd just have to coax her a little and everything would be alright! They used to say how petty and arrogant Caroline was, they'd remark on how she'd always want everything for herself. The truth was that Caroline had only been fighting for what was supposed to be hers! Selena was the one robbing Caroline of her rights. Selena had not only taken the material stuff, but also her brother and parents' love! That explained why Caroline detested Selena so much.

And every time, he would comfort Selena. Selena who got all she wanted! He consoled her and apologized on behalf of Caroline!

He had never thought too much about those little details before. He had always thought what he did was necessary. Selena had nothing and no one, so he should take care of her more, right? But Selena wasn't as clueless and pure as he thought her to be. She just acted helpless because it always got her what she wanted.

If Victoria hadn't intruded into his life, if Selena had married into the Clements family, then he, Trevor Clements, would be the sole reason for the Clements family's downfall!

Complicated emotions surged inside Trevor's heart. He had known Selena for so many years, after all. She had always been an angel to him. Although he had finally seen her demonic side, he still found it somewhat difficult to process.

Victoria opened her eyes and saw a hand hovering over the air. His face was dark and she could tell something was on his mind.
