Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 318 I Believe Because of You

Alken paused for a few seconds, then smiled awkwardly. He has acted in numerous works and is considered a star in the entertainment industry, having won the Best Actor award at a young age.

But who would have thought that such a seasoned actor would become shy?

“Although I’ve acted in many love stories, it is quite different in reality. I haven’t had much experience with love. Many people confessed to me in school, but you know my dad’s temperament. If I dated and it affected my studies, I would get a good scolding.

“Moreover, I was focused on my studies at that time. I started filming during university, and balancing my studies and career made it even more impossible to have a love life. Later, when my career was thriving, the company strictly prohibited me from dating, so…”

“So, you’re experiencing your first love.”

Aiken smiled awkwardly again. “Maia, you’re right. My feelings for you are more like admiration. I admire you, so I like you the way fans like their idols. When you succeed, I’m happy for you. When you’re sad, I want to comfort you.

“But it seems different for Vicky. When I saw her fall today, I immediately thought of saving her. I couldn’t let her be bullied. I wanted to protect her. I was hoping she would return to the Smith family because I didn’t want her to have a falling out with her family.

“I didn’t want this to become a reason for others to criticize her. But I didn’t expect that my good intentions would lead to trouble.

“But when I saw her shed tears, I felt highly uneasy. I don’t know what love is. I experienced various kinds of love in shows, but none is my own.”

Because he didn’t understand love, he mistook admiration for it. Because he didn’t understand love, he angered Vicky time and again. Because he didn’t understand love, he now felt at a loss.

Maia looked at the anxious Aiken and smiled. “There will definitely be a kind of love that belongs to you. But… it depends on whether you can grasp it.”

“Maia, give me some advice. How do I handle this love?”

“You know Vicky’s temper well. The harm the Smith’s family caused her is her inner pain. Today, you opened her old wound, so in the future, you must work hard to make her forget about this scar.”
