The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 734

The girl stood in silence, her lips parted as if to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.

The man pressed on. "I... I know your last relationship hurt you so deeply you haven't been able to move on. But Ady, I'm not him. I would never hurt you the way he did. You can't just shut me out, not even give me a chance. It's been five years—you must have noticed how I feel by now. Even if you refuse to take a single step toward me, that's alright. I'll walk all hundred steps to reach you."

A flicker of emotion crossed the girl's face.

He must have noticed, because he shut his eyes for a moment before speaking again. “Ady, I love you. I want to marry you. Can you give me a chance-let's try dating, with marriage in mind?"

She hesitated. Of course she liked him; how could she not? But the scars from her past relationship left her afraid-afraid to open up, to step into something new.

The crowd below erupted into applause and cheers.

"Go for it! Give him a chance!"

"Don't let a failed relationship make you doubt yourself!"

"You deserve to be loved!"

"What's there to be afraid of? You only live once-make the most of it!"

"Exactly! No matter what happens, just be happy!"
