Chapter 179

This was the second time Egbert had said It.

He confessed his feelings to her on Valentine’s day, telling her he liked her.

Eileen blinked, looking down at her own hand.

Her hand, still in Egbert’s grip, he was bandaging it.

Eileen was somewhat worried, afraid that she would say something Egbert didn’t want to hear,

He might give her hand a hard twist, like he did to that old vet.

The Training Officer’s Office suddenly fell quiet.

Eileen carefully tried to pull her hand back.

But Egbert gripped harder, holding onto her wrist, Eileen froze instantly.

Egbert frowned, said in a deep voice, “Say something.”

Startled, Eileen looked up at him, “What should I say?”

Seeing her frightened eyes, Egbert softened his expression, “Tell me how you feel. Is it so hard to feet that I like you?”

Eileen hesitated for a moment, then began, “Actually…”

“Hold on.” Egbert suddenly interrupted her.

Eileen always disappointed Egbert, so he felt he needed to brace himself.

“Don’t say something I don’t want to hear.”

Eileen was speechless.

Eileen sighed, looking at Egbert, she sincerely said, “Egbert, I like you too, but the way I like you… it’s not as a lover.”

Egbert’s brows tightened.

Eileen lightly pursed her lips, continuing, “This is an emotional projection. You just got out of a relationship, you’re feeling empty… don’t glare at me… think about it, we’ve only known each other for a few months, how can our feelings be that deep, right?”

At this point, Eileen dared not look at Egbert’s face.

He looked furious, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

But that’s the truth.

In her past life, it took her ten years to get to know Hubery.

But what did she get in the end?

A tragic ending with nothing left of her.
