Shattered Longings

Chapter 6 Couldn’t Love Anyone Else

Felix Quinn was her classmate back in university. Back then, he wasn’t the sharp, well–dressed man he was today.

He was always buried in his books, like a poor student. While others in university were falling in love, he only had eyes for his textbooks. Because of his tall stature and striking looks, he received more than a few love letters, but none of them ever succeeded.

Bella had a secret she wouldn’t share with anyone else. It was that Felix had once pursued her. Of course, she turned him down.

At that time, she wasn’t only infatuated with Dominic, but she also maintained a long–term “intimate relationship” with him. She simply couldn’t love anyone else.

Meeting Felix again after all these years made her feel a little awkward. If she had known she was going to his home, she would have reconsidered.

Felix, on the other hand, seemed completely at ease. It was as if he had forgotten about the past.

“Yes, I live here now. You wouldn’t have guessed, right?” he said.

He continued, explaining, “A friend recommended a piano teacher to me,” he explained. When I saw your information, I thought it was just someone with the same name. I didn’t expect it to really be you. My sister has a bit of a temper, so I’ll be counting on you every weekend from now on.”

Faced with Felix’s clear gaze, Bella nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, unable to bring herself to refuse. “It’s no trouble at all. It’s my pleasure.
