Love at first sight?
Morphy’s thoughts returned to the night when he had met her at the police station. At that time, she had looked very fragile, so much so that his heart ached for her.
Perhaps that was the weakness of every man. When they saw a delicate woman, it would ignite their impulse to protect them.
He was not surprised.
However, he had just wanted to protect her. It was not because he liked her.
If he was to pinpoint the time when he had fallen for her, it would probably be during that incident.
“Something that shouldn’t have happened happened to us,” he replied honestly.
Rosiley had not been expecting such an answer. She was stunned for a good 10 seconds before she could process it fully. “You guys… you guys actually…”
She took a deep breath and asked calmly, “When did it happen?”
“That time she was framed by someone and ended up in the police station.”
Rosiley remembered. That day, she had fallen asleep. Sachin was the one who had helped her to answer the phone. Then, Sachin had made him go and bail Yayoi out.
“What the f**k!?” Rosiley could not help swearing. Then, she said angrily, “Morphy, how could you have taken advantage of her?”
She could only imagine how fragile Yayoi must have been that day after that incident with Yang Qianqian and Han Yichen. Hence, it was normal for her to have been seeking comfort.
But he should not have…
“She asked me to drink with her, and then she got drunk, and I also drank a little too much,” Morphy explained.
“That is not an excuse.” Rosiley did not accept it. “Taking advantage is taking advantage.”
Morphy fell silent.
He could understand why his sister-in-law was so angry. She was her good friend, if something like that happened, no one would have felt good about it.
If she had not asked, he would not have told her, let alone An Yi.
She did not blame Yayoi for keeping it a secret. After all, it was her private affair.
But after knowing it, she would not let it go so easily. She felt that she was partly responsible for it too.
That night, if she had gone to the police station, this thing would not have happened.
Rosiley took a deep breath and then looked at Morphy with a heavy gaze. She asked, “What do you plan to do?”
Morphy shrugged and replied honestly, “I don’t know.”
You don’t know?!
Rosiley was so angry that she burst into a peal of laughter. “Can you solve the problem by simply saying you don’t know? Don’t tell me that it’s a new era and sleeping together doesn’t mean anything.”
“sister-in-law, I don’t mean that.” Morphy smiled helplessly. “I really don’t know what to do. I want to be together with Yayoi, but she’s not willing.”
“Nor should she be.” Rosiley crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled coldly. “You have a fiancée, Morphy.”
“I know.”
“To tell you the truth, I already knew that there was something fishy between you two, and I supported it, because Sachin told me that you don’t love your fiancée.”
Morphy did not say anything. He kept his head lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.
Rosiley glanced at him and then turned to look out of the window. It was pitch-black outside, and she could only see the sparkles of the stars.
She curled her lips and said gently, “With a family like yours, marriage is definitely not by choice. But don’t forget, this is your own life, and your own happiness. You have the right to choose what kind of life you want to live, and also who you want to spend the rest of your life with.”
Her voice was soft and gentle. When it reached Morphy’s ears, it shook his heart deeply.
Yes, this was his own life. It was just like how he had not wanted to join the army or do politics and had become a businessman very decisively.
He had never lacked that sort of courage.
