Love That Wasn't Meant to Last

Chapter 53

Seeing Sylvia's image appear on the phone screen, I could hardly contain my excitement. After all these days, I finally got to see her again.

Sylvia couldn't hide her excitement as well. But she covered her mouth, put on a serious expression, and scolded me.

"Hudson, after all this time, you finally decided to call me. I thought you'd forgotten you had a girlfriend."

Hearing that, I felt helpless and somehow misunderstood.

Not only did I remember I had a girlfriend, I had also been reminding myself practically every second of it. No matter what Selena said or how she tried to tempt me, I couldn't bring myself to give in.

Sometimes, though, I wonder. If I hadn't met Sylvia, if I hadn't agreed to be with her, how would things between Selena and me be now?
