I wasn''t just ttering myself. I truly felt that Lina''s caption was about me.


    I couldn''t help but feel a pang of sadness. If Lina had loved me back when I was head over heels for her, we would probably be that enviable couple. I would''ve given her the best of everything, and she would''ve made me the happiest person alive.


    However, life had its ironies. When she started to regret it, my heart already belonged to Felicia. Thinking about Felicia now only made me feel even sadder.


    Just as I was lost in thought, the door to the room across from me suddenly opened a crack. Then, a young girl peeked her head out. She looked to be about six or seven years old.


    After ncing around, she finally locked eyes with me. I smiled at her, but she immediately frowned and mmed the door shut.


    This made me freeze in ce. Reflexively, I touched my face, wondering if I somehow looked that scary.


    Just then, Lynn said, "I''ve got the room all set up for you, William. Please take a look and see if it suits you. If there''s anything you''re not happy with, I can fix it for you."


    I couldn''t help but chuckle. "I''m just crashing here for the night. So, I''m not looking for anything fancy. As long as there''s a bed to sleep in, I''m good."


    "You''re my guest. I won''t let you be ufortable. Oh, I just realized I haven''t offered you any water. Let me get that for you," Lynn said while pping her forehead. However, the pain from her wound made her instinctively wince.


    I couldn''t help butugh at her.


    When we first met, I thought she was just an irrational woman. But over time, I realized she was smart and capable. She always handled things well, and my opinion of her improved a lot.


    But now, I saw a whole new side of her. She was clumsy, slow to react, and stubborn.


    People really shouldn''t be judged too quickly. After all, we were allplicated beings.


    When she handed me the ss of water, the door to the room across from us cracked open again. The young girl peeked her head out, ncing around once more. As soon as our eyes met, she mmed the door shut like before.


    Lynn shed me an awkward smile. "That''s my daughter. She''s a bit shy, so she''s


    afraid of meeting strangers. I''m sorry if she''s made you feel ufortable."


    I replied, "It''s fine. If she''s scared, I''ll return to my room and rest. I''m a bit tired


    myself, so I''ll just take this ss of water to my room and drink it there."


    It was getting prettyte, and I didn''t want to keep chatting with Lynn. After all, we didn''t know each other well, and there wasn''t much to talk about anyway. So, I took that ss of water and entered the guest room.


    As Iy on the bed, I drifted off into my thoughts. That day''s events really left me feeling emotional. At the same time, I became even more confident about my decision to y the role of a loser.


    I was really sick of all the ttery and contempt. Meanwhile, I also found those snobbish rich men repulsive. I really didn''t want to have anything to do with them.


    After removing my shoes, I slipped into my house slippers and stepped outside. At first, I nned to have Lynn show me where the bathroom was.


    But then, I noticed a room with the door ajar. The light was on, and I could see a mirror and a sink inside I figured that must it be the


    bathroom. Since it looked empel.n


    simply walked in without a second thought.


    I was nning to run some water for a shower and then get a good night''s sleep.


    But as soon as I opened the door, I quickly stepped back.


    Damn it! I didn''t expect Lynn to be in there!


    At that moment, she was wrapped in nothing but a short towel, drying her hair.
