Loving someone naturally came with the desire to treat them well.
Would anyone just keep their feelings buried in their hearts and not treat the ones they loved well?
He couldn’t do that.
Edwin knew perfectly well he wasn’t the kind of man who could hide his feelings.
If it weren’t for Yvonne’s fragile state, he would’ve confessed long ago.
The problem was, Yvonne was still chasing after Lucas.
The three of them all knew each other, and to confess now would only make things unbearably awkward.
So, he had buried his feelings deep inside, never saying them out loud.
But that didn’t mean his affection had ever faded.
He still wanted to treat her well, stay close to her, and quietly clear every obstacle in her path.
Even if she never knew, he was content to do it in silence.
Lying alone on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, Edwin’s thoughts wandered endlessly.
He couldn’t quite define what he felt for her, but one thing was clear—his love carried a possessive edge.
It wasn’t just the desire to be by her side.
He wanted to be the only one by her side.
The thought of her standing next to another man made his chest tighten.
After all, who could watch the woman they love belong to someone else?
If that day ever came, he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
With a quiet sigh, Edwin pulled a pillow over his head.
Her scent lingered there, faint and familiar, wrapping around him until, strangely, he felt at peace.
…
And now, even Edwin—who had always stayed silently by her side—had begun to show his intentions openly.
All these changes came too fast for her to handle.
The uproar online only made things worse, catching her completely off guard.
She thought she was used to public scrutiny.
After all, her fans had always supported her.
But once Lucas made his official announcement, she realized everything had shifted.
Still, there was no point in overthinking. What mattered now was finding a way to fix the situation.
As for Edwin, she no longer knew what to think.
She didn’t know how to face him anymore.
She had grown so accustomed to his quiet presence, yet now, he suddenly wanted to step out of the shadows.
