Chapter 2757


    ‘For the first time in a long time, he openly announced his rtionship with her to his family. For him to


    do something like that takes a lot of courage. He must’ve thought very highly of her. I don’t want to be


    the third wheeler here,’ Tia continued.


    With an expression of sympathy on her face, Cherry looked at Tia and said, “Tia, have you never once


    considered that the person you love shares the same feelings for you too?”


    It was at that moment that Cherry understood why Tia was so afraid of crossing the line. ‘She cares


    much more about Stanley than I’ve previously thought.’ Cherry then reflected on how Tia had reacted


    when she attempted to pair the two of them together. Whenever Cherry tried to create opportunities to


    bring them both closer together, Tia would crumble into a panicky mess.


    ‘My efforts have pushed her to the point where she would guard her emotions even more fiercely. I’m


    afraid that dragging this on in the long run will obliterate whatever feelings they have for one another in


    the long run,’ Cherry inferred.


    It was at that moment that Cherry began ming her parents again for how things had turned out. ‘I


    would not have gotten in the way if I knew it was going to mess the both of them up. I wouldn’t have


    done this if my parents weren’t as pushy as they were.”


    Then, an idea suddenly urred to her, and she reached out to grab Tia’s hand.


    “Listen to me, okay? Stanley really likes you and whatever it is that is happening between Stanley and


    I, it’s all just for show.”


    Tia was rendered speechless at an instant. “It’s all…for show?”


    What Cherry said had left her inplete disbelief. ‘What is she bbering about?’ “To be honest, I


    was just helping Stanley out with a mutual favor for each other…” Cherry began, after which she told


    the entire story in full detail to Tia.


    “Why are you telling me all of this?” Tia asked, her brows furrowed in confusion.


    “Because I’m going to be leaving soon.” Cherry smiled. “I’m going to live abroad with my true love


    where we will both be free from all that nonsense.”


    “So you have a real boyfriend?” Tia asked while struggling to wrap her head around the information


    Cherry had filled her in on.


    She found it difficult to process what Cherry had just told her, and at this point, she could not help but


    wonder if this was all just a dream.


    “Yeah! Why would I lie to you? Stanley has done me a huge favor, and I’ll be damned if I don’t return it.


    That is why I came here to talk to you about this,”


    Cherry exined.


    “Oh,” Tia murmured as the realization dawned upon her.


    ‘If Cherry’s leaving, Stanley and Cherry are not really together. If that’s the case, Stanley and I…,’ Tia


    trailed off.


    “Tia, I’ll have you know that Stanley genuinely cares for you. I’m a hundred percent sure that you have


    a special ce in his heart, but he’s under the impression that you have feelings for someone else. Is


    that true?” Cherry asked, serious and unsmiling.


    ‘If Tia has feelings for someone else, why would she be more affectionate to him? And if she does not,


    then why did Stanley interpret it that way?’ she pondered.

    “Huh?” Tia looked at Cherry with her head tilted and her forehead creased.


    ‘Wait, no… Stanley thought I had feelings for someone else?!’ Having caught a glimpse of Tia’s


    expression, Cherry immediately understood the situation between them. “To be honest, he’s just a lone


    wolf who’s gotten too used to doing everything by himself. I won’t be surprised if he grows old alone.”


    ‘I don’t even know what I should do with him. He’s not even sure about who he likes,’ Cherry thought.


    “Actually…it’s not like that,” Tia said in a faint whisper.


    In response, Cherry looked at Tia and busted outughing.” You two really are a match made in


    heaven.”


    ‘They truly are two peas in a pod,’ she thought.


    Tia’s face became beet red as she went into denial mode again. “No, it’s not like that.”


    “Alright, I’ll stop here. You guys should sort this out between yourselves. I’m going to leave in the next


    few days, so I hope I won’t do anything that’ll make me regret it,” Cherry said as she stood up.


    She gave Tia onest look and said, “Tia, I hope that you won’t do anything you’ll regret either.”


    Then, she patted Tia on the shoulder before turning around and walking away.
