‘I never expected Edward would actually press me about this. I was hoping to keep it a secret, but clearly, that’s not going to happen now.’ I thought to myself.

“I heard from Jared that she’s recently developed feelings for Nathan. She suspects there’s still something between Nathan and me, which is why she’s holding a grudge against me,” I admitted honestly.

“And have you really cut him off?” Edward’s gaze was intense as he looked at me. “At their company’s celebration party last time, I noticed he couldn’t take his eyes off you. Victoria, he really cares about you.”

“Are you jealous?” I asked with a smile.

“Yes, I was in a bad mood that day. I always felt like you’d choose anyone but me,” Edward said, not hiding anything from me.

I was taken aback. “Why?”

“I don’t know. Because of Ryan, I feel like liking you is something twisted and… wrong,” Edward lowered his voice and whispered the last part in my ear.

I looked at him in surprise, shocked that he would describe himself that way.

“Since you knew it was inappropriate, you still went out of your way to see me—and even sneakily used my name to donate a building at my old school,” I teased.

Edward lowered his head with a self–mocking smile. “It’s because I wasn’t confident. I just wanted to do something, leave something behind to remember me by.”

“Oh, I get it.” I raised an eyebrow. “You guys just love what you can’t have. Once you finally get it, you stop caring.”
