Carola has been watching Hubert’s expression since he got out of the car, but his expression seems to show no change in emotion except that he is a bit colder.
Carola didn’t want to wait any longer, she wanted to tell him how she felt right now.
So after Hubert left, Carola chased after her and left as well.
“Hubert, can we talk?” Looking at Hubert’s back, Carola gathered her courage and said, “I don’t know what you think, but can you hear what I think?”
Although not sure what Carola is trying to say, but listening to the tone of voice, Hubert seems to have sensed something.
Without turning around, Hubert turned his back on Carola and said, “It was an accident just now, so there shouldn’t be anything to talk about, right?”
Not daring to look Carola in the face, Hubert didn’t know how to face the situation.
Carola, who had already gathered her courage, would never give up halfway.
He went straight after him, hugged Hubert’s waist, and said with emotion, “Maybe you already know what I want to say, but I still want you to hear me say this clearly in person. For this moment just think of us as not childhood friends, just an ordinary friend, and after the talk, no matter what the outcome is, we’re still the best of partners, okay?”
Not knowing how to say no to Carola, Hubert had to nod his head and reply, “Yes! Let’s go over there, it’s quieter over there.”
Gently releasing Hubert’s waist, the brief warmth was enough for Carola.
The two came one after the other to the place furthest away from Vivian.
Looking at the endless sea, Carola suddenly released, leaned on the railing and stared straight into Hubert’s face.
“Maybe you may not believe it, but I still want to tell you, Hubert I like you, I’ve liked you since the beginning of my ignorant love in high school.” Seeing Hubert about to speak, Carola reached out her hand to block his mouth, “I know what you mean, but let me finish first, okay?”
Looking at Carola, who was different from her usual self, Hubert finally nodded his head and agreed.
The first time we met was in senior year, when you ran up to us with a smile on your face, I felt like the whole world was lit up. After that I learned that you were Vivian’s baby brother from childhood, at that time there was actually nothing to think about, but I don’t know why, but slowly was attracted to you, slowly began to secretly like you.”
When she thinks of that time, Carola is both happy and sad at the same time. It was a time when she was alone and she was happy that she was able to leave a legacy of her youth, but she was sad that she was so stupid before, so why did she keep it bottled up?”
Hubert has been listening quietly, and after spending so much time with Carola, he hasn’t noticed a thing.
If Carola’s attitude hadn’t been a little different just now, he probably wouldn’t have noticed anything until now.
“I know I shouldn’t like you myself, but if I can manage my feelings, what do you call them? But I knew you were Vivian’s, and I wasn’t going to do the things I spurned myself by telling myself I should give up. It wasn’t until after Vivian and Hanley that I didn’t have to talk myself out of giving you up.”
Said Carola showed a sad look, Hubert unconsciously averted his gaze.
He didn’t dare to look at Carola’s face, he was afraid he would only make her more upset.
Because he has someone he likes, and that person is not her.
Hubert deliberately avoided his eyes, Carola knew it very well, but since he was going to say something, he should say it all at once.
“At that time I saw your sad and desperate look, at that moment I suddenly understood what is to give up, what is to let go. The next two years, I avoided meeting with you, even if they met are very decent, and did not show anything. I thought that was it for us, but to my surprise, I still couldn’t convince myself not to like you. hubert I want to tell you, just want to tell you that I like you, like you for a whole decade.”
Hubert was completely shocked. Ten years and he didn’t know anything about it.
The whole person is frozen, at such times Hubert does not know how to speak at all.
Carola has already let go, she just wants to make it all clear today, even if Hubert doesn’t accept it, she won’t force it.
It’s been ten years, it’s been ten years, and she doesn’t want to hold on to it any longer.
“Ten years, I also think it’s amazing that I was able to love you so persistently for ten years, maybe I should say love you for ten years.” Looking at Hubert’s expression, Carola laughed, “You don’t need to look preoccupied, I’m telling you, just don’t want me to just love someone for ten years for nothing, and not to burden you with it. Just want to tell you that there is someone who loves you very much and has been loving you for ten years.”
With her eyes looking straight at Hubert, Carola has put down all her stature, she is now a woman in pursuit of happiness.
“Just now was my first kiss, and over the years, I had planned to let you go and find a new romance. But I tried, no, not as long as that person is not you. But it’s been ten years, it’s been long enough, and my youth is coming to an end, so Hubert I want to ask you, you don’t like me now, but will you like me?”
It was very straightforward to ask what she wanted to ask, and she no longer wanted to dilly-dally and wait any longer.
Hubert opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
He doesn’t want to hurt Carola, but he already has someone he likes and has liked him for about as long as she has liked him, and he has liked Vivian for more than a decade.
Looking at Hubert’s difficult expression, Carola smiled and said, “You can just reject me, I’ve been ready to do it anyway, I just don’t want to leave regrets. If you can’t like me, don’t give me hope, just reject me. Anyway, our status now is just ordinary friends, it won’t involve our friendship.”
Not wanting to give Carola hope that she will be happy, the bad guy will have to be him.
“I’m sorry Carola, you’ve liked me for so many years and I’m just now realizing it. I respect your liking and this relationship, but I’m still sorry. Just as you have liked me for ten years, I have liked Vivian for more than ten years. So many years, you can not let go, the same I can not let go. You are a good girl, you deserve better, I … us or as good friends!”
Forcing himself to stare into Carola’s eyes to say these words clearly, Hubert did not want to hold himself back from such a nice girl.
