“That’s because there’s no possibility for me and Mark. He can’t be alone for the rest of his life without falling in love with someone. He will marry, have children, and fall in love with his wife.
So you think that other women are better than you? Are you not as good as those women?”
Xavia smiled. “So, what you lack now is time. Give it a bit more time… Soon, the spark of love will be ignited.”
“But…” Stella paused for a second before asking a difficult question.
“Can love really be transferred? Will he really fall in love with someone else again? I’m not afraid of losing to someone else, but I’m afraid of the person who has long occupied his heart. As you know, you have so much history with him that has long been ingrained in you that I really find it a struggle to deal with.”
When Xavia heard this question, her gaze darkened. A complicated look appeared on her face before she took a deep breath and said, “Look at me. Do I love Young Master Burton now?”
“Of course you do. I’ve always had the feeling that you only prioritize him and can’t wait to give him everything. Anyone could tell how good your relationship is with him.”
Xavia smiled. “Right? But before that, I used to like Mark a lot. My dream was to put on a beautiful wedding gown and become his bride. I even thought that I would not fall for someone else other than him.
However, I still fell in love with Young Master Burton. I love him with all my heart and determination. Because of this relationship, I can even tell that my feelings for Mark was not romantic love. It was just fondness and dependency.
“I believe the same applies to Mark. Perhaps he loves me, but I think most of it stems from the memory of our childhood and slowly, those memories become obsessions. When he finds the person he truly loves, he will also have the same thoughts as me. He will know that his fondness and favor toward me is just like an older brother to a younger sister and that he will love his soulmate deeply.”
Stella finally realized something.
It turned out that love can really be transferred.
It turned out that some love was not romantic love.
She saw hope again. “Should I give it another try?”
Xavia nodded in agreement. “Yeah. Since you’ve had a hasty start in the marriage, it shouldn’t end in a hasty divorce.”
