Chapter 799

After they had run off far into the distance, Eva hugged Amelia and cried her heart out.

Hugging her in distress, Amelia gently patted her on the back and coaxed tenderly, "It's okay. There, there."

Eva continued crying ceaselessly. Only after weeping for an indeterminate time did she slowly stop.

"Am I really that inferior, Amelia?" Eva inquired unconfidently.

In response, Amelia enunciated, "No, you're exceedingly outstanding. But James isn't quite suitable for you. A man who appreciates you will appear in the future. A woman will only be happy when she meets a man who knows how to appreciate her. She'll also grow increasingly beautiful. Therefore, give up on him, okay?

Regretfully, Eva shook her head morosely. Then, she replied sorrowfully, "I really love him a lot, Amelia. I won't give up on him. I believe that he'll definitely fall in love with me one day as long as I'm persistent enough."

Amelia wanted to speak yet was hesitant to do so. She wore a slightly conflicted expression.

Pulling herself away from Amelia's embrace, Eva wiped her tears and reverted to her usual self as though nothing had ever happened. "Let's go, Amelia! I'm fine now."

Amelia patted her cousin's face, urging, "Talk to me if there's anything you'd like to get off your chest. We're family, so you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me."

Shaking her head, Eva maintained, 'Tm really fine. It's no big deal, just a temporary rejection by a man."

Amelia's lips twitched, but she changed the subject in the end. "Come, let's go home."

The next day, Eva prepared a ton of food and went to the hospital as usual. Her eagerness had gotten on James' nerves so much that he even made up an excuse and left the hospital.

For the first time in forever, he went to Amelia's workplace.

When Amelia received a call from James that he was in the lobby of her office, she applied for a brief leave and went downstairs.

"Why did you come to my office, James?" Amelia queried.

With a shrug, James implored helplessly, "I beg you, Amelia. Can you please talk to Eva?”

Amelia likewise felt helpless.

'James, I've talked to her as much as I could, but she simply wouldn't listen. Her love for you is really deep- rooted, so I really can't do anything unless she truly gives up on you." Eva was the kind of person who never gave up until the very end, so Amelia couldn't do anything about it either. Instead, she ventured, "Can you really not try accepting her, James?"

James declined right away. "No. If there really were a possibility of me falling in love with her, it would've happened long ago. When it's a woman I like, I'll take the initiative to pursue her and definitely wouldn't make her sad."

At that, Amelia gave a bitter chuckle.
