Chapter 281 Don’t make comments until you have walked in another’s shoes

Rory showed reluctance in his eyes Zona.

He would definitely want to give Zona the chance. After all, Zona was also his friend. However, he would

lose a chance to

stay alone with Nova.

His eyes showed mixed feelings. But Nova seemed to be ignorant of his thoughts, and said smilingly,

“I’m your friend, and I won’t make you lose the case. I won’t let you do things that I myself aren’t sure of

What do you think? Giving Zona the

chance?”

Rory heaved a sigh and nodded. “Okay.”

Nova put the files back into the filing pouch and said casually, “Okay. Then you can give Zona the

documents, or send her an

electronic edition. Whatever. I’ll tell her the details.”

Rory pressed his lips, and, after hesitation, said, “Nova, Chester is dangerous.”

Noya pouted. “I never wanted to have any contact with him. He wants to get revenge on the Kings.

That’s why he kept

currying favor with me. Don’t worry. I got it.”

Rory heaved a sigh, and, as if unable to restrain his unaccepted love, he said softly at last, “Nova, I know

I gave you pressure

by telling you lots of things. You want to avoid me. But I still want to tell you today that I love you more

than anything else.

You are the most important in my life. Without you, I might not live.”

Nova changed her expression. The reason why she avoided staying with Rory alone came true.

Before she could think of words to reply, Rory continued, “Nova, don’t take my affection as a burden. I

won’t force you to

accept me, and I will never put pressure on you. I just want to tell you that if you are really tired one day,

and you really need a

shoulder, I can give mine to you. Because mine are your alone.”

Nova didn’t want to refuse him again, but she had to. She subconsciously shook her head. “Rory, I know

your feelings. But

you need to take love as it comes and goes. You can’t force love. I just want to be friends with you

forever. Besides.. I

don’t deserve you.”

“You do! It is me who is craving for what I’m not worthy of…”

Nova heaved a sigh. “Rory, you deserve better. I won’t marry anyone after all I had gone through. All my

ability to love had been wasted and destroyed by Henry. I can’t fall in love anymore. Rory, I know I’m

being unfair to you, but neither do I want our friendship to become rigid love.”

Rory trembled even though he had expected rejection from Nova. However, his heart was broken as he

was still unable to accept the painful fact.

Rory took a deep breath and continued, “Nova, no matter what, I will stay by your side. But, can you give

me a chance? I won’t

ask

you

to accept me now. But I hope that in the future when you are finally ready to open your heart to a man, I

can be the

first man in your mind. Okay?”

“Rory Nova’s eyes were full of guilt and helplessness.

Before she could say anything, Rory, opened his mouth. “Nova, it’s my only wish. I’m not asking you to

accept me. I just want

you to first take me into consideration. Okay? I will be waiting for you.”

“Rory, I’ve said. Don’t wait for me. You…

Rory stared at her with infinite deep love, and interrupted her, “You’re not me. How do you know what

constitutes my

enjoyment?”
