“Why not? We’ve only been apart for a few months. She loved me so much; we were together for five years. Five years! That’s over sixteen hundred days–how could she just stop loving me? She’s only angry. She’s angry I registered with Sharon; angry I broke my promise and didn’t marry her on her birthday. She’s angry I didn’t rush in to save her when the fire nearly took her life–but I didn’t even know she was in there.”

As he spoke, a tear suddenly slid down Jensen’s cheek.

“When we were in school, didn’t our teachers say that admitting mistakes and changing is the greatest virtue? I really know I was wrong; I was wrong. Natalie will give me a chance to make it right, won’t she? That Baron–he’s just a son–in–law who married into the family; he’s not worthy of Natalie! And how long has he even known her? How could he possibly matter to her? Natalie’s sentimental; she wouldn’t ignore me.”

At that moment, Jensen looked like a wounded lion licking his wounds alone; the sight made Felix’s eyes sting with heat.

“Jensen, I heard you’ve been digging into Baron’s background. No matter if he’s only the Stone family’s live–in son–in–law, the fact that he risked his life to pull Natalie from the fire–that alone is enough to make her look at him differently. And they’ve spent months together already. Maybe what they have isn’t as deep as what you once had with her; but to say there’s no bond at all? That’s unlikely. Otherwise, Natalie wouldn’t openly come and go with him.”

Felix’s reasoning was level, but Jensen couldn’t accept it.

“Rubbish! Natalie is not someone who opens her heart easily. Who the heck is Baron? How could a few months be enough to win her over? I don’t believe it!”

Faced with Jensen’s furious outburst, Felix could only sigh; he had no words left.
