If Sonia hadn't broken up and come to H City,
if she hadn't invited him up that night,
he might have spent the rest of his life alone.
Jaydin stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze becoming calm and resolute.
But Sonia had come to H City.
And she had opened the door that night.
If the girl he loved was already by his side and he still lost her, then Jaydin, you don't deserve the happiness you seek.
The night before I was set to leave H City, I met up with my best friend for drinks.
"How are things going with Jaydin?"
My friend looked me up and down. "Tsk, tsk, look at that glow on your face, your skin so soft it could burst with moisture—Jaydin's been treating you well."
"I shouldn't waste his time. I don't want to fall in love, and I don't want to get married."
"Sonia, why are you punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes?"
"Besides, it's not fair to Jaydin either."
"It's said that the previous generation plants trees so the next can enjoy the shade, and I agree with that. But it doesn't make sense for the current one to suffer because of the previous one's sins."
"Clayton might be a jerk, but Jaydin is a good man worth trusting."
"Why are you prejudiced against Jaydin just because of Clayton?"
"I'm not prejudiced against him; I just haven't gotten over this hurdle yet."
"It's not that you haven't gotten over it. You've been PUA'd by that dog Clayton for seven years, and now you think you don't deserve true love and happiness."
Her words stunned me.
Is that true?
Because of the pain and confusion brought by breaking up and getting back together repeatedly.
Because of the extreme lack of security, making me overly cautious.
So I subconsciously doubt everyone, doubt the whole world.
Convinced that I would never receive wholehearted love.
But why can't I receive sincere love?
Those who betray true hearts should swallow a thousand needles.
But those who have loved earnestly, heaven will surely open a new window for them.
"Baby, do you know how wonderful you are?"
My best friend hugged me, gently swaying: "You're so beautiful, with such a great figure. You could already make money to support yourself in college, and you even took care of me. You're gorgeous, capable, and kind. If I were a man, I'd die to marry you!"
"You deserve to be loved, Sonia, to be cherished by the best man."
"Not to waste your time and energy on a man like Clayton."
"Trust me, baby, he will regret it. He'll spend the rest of his life unable to get over losing you."
"Now, call Jaydin right away."
"And cancel your flight ticket. Don't think I don't know you're planning to run away again."
I looked at my best friend, my eyes gradually growing warm with tears: "But Yuanyuan, do you think Jaydin and I might end up like this too?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I believe that a man with enough self-control, who would rather have nothing than settle for less, would never be foolish enough to lose the girl he loves once he has her."
"Do you think he's like that pig Clayton?"
I shook my head. Of course, he's not Clayton.
"So, call him now, babe."
"You can't imagine how happy he'll be."
