From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 726 Unrequited Love Is Painful

"Brandon, matters of the heart can't be forced," Penelope said. "For other things, I can apologize to you. But for this, saying sorry would only hurt you."

She thought, 'Not loving someone, how can one say sorry for that? How absurd that sounds.'

Brandon suddenly turned around, his back facing Penelope. He tilted his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"Now I truly understand how Isabella felt," Brandon said, his hands clasped behind his back, his silhouette exuding loneliness. "Isabella loved me so much, but I didn't love her. I love you so much, but you've never considered loving me."

The way he rejected Isabella was now the way Penelope was rejecting him. How ironic!

Brandon had never understood why Isabella was so obsessed with him, so deeply fixated. Now, having experienced it himself, he finally understood.

When one set their heart on someone, they only wanted to be with that person; no one else even caught their eye!

Penelope hesitated for a moment but then said, "Although it sounds harsh, I still want to tell you. Brandon, the way you feel about Isabella is exactly how I feel about you."

"The only difference is, you wouldn't do something as malicious as Isabella did. So, there won't be hatred between us, no insurmountable barriers. We can coexist peacefully for a lifetime..."

Before Penelope could finish, Brandon interrupted her, "Penelope, what if I did something as malicious as Isabella?"

She was startled. What did he mean by that?

"Unrequited love is truly painful and agonizing," Brandon laughed. "When you can't have it, you just want to destroy everything!"

"Brandon, Brandon!"

Brandon walked away quickly, not looking back. No matter how loudly Penelope called after him, he pretended not to hear.

Penelope watched him leave, disappearing from her sight.

"It still turned out this way, why?" she muttered to herself. "I was so careful with my words to reject Brandon and clarify my feelings, but I still hurt him."
