“Are they truly just friends?" Rosalynn queried, her smile hinting at her skepticism.

Debora patted her hand and confessed, "I don't want to hide this from you. Brian had feelings for Selina in the past, even intending to marry her."

His ex-girlfriend?

Rosalynn remained silent, attentively Listening to Debora.

"In fact, Selina is not of high birth. Her father was merely a butler to the Moreno family, one of the most influential families in Skrix.

Mrs. Moreno Lost her daughter when she was young, and to assuage her pain, asked Selina to regard her as her godmother. Hence, Selina was able to grow up comfortably. Mrs. Moreno and Brian's mother have been friends for many years, which maintained a connection between the two families."

After a pause, Debora continued, “The two families planned a marriage between Brian and Selina, but two years ago, Selina suddenly chose to go abroad. Brian was in a depressive state for quite some time, often resorting to alcohol. I tried inquiring about his troubles, but he refused to share. Eventually, I asked his friend and discovered that Selina had broken up with him. Apparently, Selina had fallen for another man, a fellow dancer, and they went abroad to study together.”

Debora's revelation Left Rosalynn deep in thought.

Brian had such a history, and he couldn't be with Selina in the end.

Was Selina the woman he had failed to attain?

First love was often the most enchanting and memorable for a man. With

Selina's return, it was no wonder he had spent an entire afternoon with her.

So two years ago, when Brian was coerced into marrying Rosalynn, a woman lacking in beauty and pedigree, it indeed would have been a distressing experience for him.

“Rosalynn, Brian is a reserved man. He doesn't fall in love easily.

There are reasons behind his feelings for Selina," Debora explained.

“Brian had a difficult childhood. Due to a poisoning incident, he had been on various hormonal treatments, causing him to gain weight. He felt very inferior during that time and had few friends. Selina, however, frequently visited him. Once, Brian fell into water, and it was Selina who saved him; thus, he developed feelings for her."

Now it made sense.

They had grown up together, and she had saved his life. Brian's affection for Selina must be profound.

Rosalynn clenched her fingers, jealousy welling up.

“Rosalynn, I'm telling you this so you can understand Brian better,"

Debora implored.

“Every person will encounter numerous people and experiences in their lives, and love is no different. Perhaps a person's emotional Life will involve more than one individual.
