Chapter 1134 - 1161: A Moment Between Life and Death (2)

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1161: A Moment Between Life and Death (2)

He was too tired, but Windsor Myres shouldn’t be. It was seven o’clock, right around dinnertime, hence his question.

In fact—

How could he not understand Windsor Myres’ intentions?

But he didn’t want to do it.

In this respect, he didn’t even seem like a normal man.

It is said that a woman’s appearance makes a man decide whether to understand her inner self, but once they get close, a man might completely deny the woman’s stunning exterior because of her inner self.

A woman initially attracts a man with her looks.

But—

To attract a man for a long time, it’s absolutely her inner self.

During this time apart, Camden River certainly missed Windsor Myres. He would reminisce on how Windsor Myres made him feel love.

She was possessive, straightforward, and crazy; whatever she wanted, she would strive to get, even at the cost of burning herself. On the negative side, she was stubborn and selfish; on the positive, she was brave and determined. She appeared complex but was innocent in certain ways, clear in her likes and dislikes, exuding a lively personality. These qualities, at first encounter, made her seem adorable, just like how she sometimes suddenly behaved very charmingly.

But too much time proved it wouldn’t work.

The romance and fervor of young love lies in self-forgetfulness.

For a moment, it works, but not in the long run.

Successful love eventually leads to marriage. Love might be selfless and fueled by passion, but marriage requires grounding, stability, tolerance, dedication, simplicity, adjustment, and compromise.

Romance belongs to love; daily life belongs to marriage.

For two people to transition, they as individuals in love must change. A once young and fearless boy needs to take responsibility, and a once proud and arrogant girl must reign in her temper.

Marriage, as an emotional expert states, requires a woman to get used to being a mother figure instead of a princess.

Camden River knew well that Windsor Myres wasn’t suited for marriage.

At least—

She wasn’t suited for a marriage with him.

But he couldn’t let go.

Or rather, he couldn’t abandon Windsor Myres.

Windsor Myres had already given up Cherry Lewis and family for him, with nowhere left to go. She loved him wholeheartedly, even if she didn’t understand how to love properly, but at least, she was loving.

They had been entangled for so long, and their relationship had progressed further; Windsor Myres had changed for him, and he couldn’t ignore that.

Indeed, this relationship had long been mixed with a sense of responsibility.

He had a responsibility towards Windsor Myres; how could he abandon her under such circumstances?

Even—

If he were to abandon her, what kind of life would Windsor Myres face next?

His imagination painted an unfavorable picture, leaving him no choice.

He considered himself her savior.

Camden River took a deep breath, pulled the towel, and got into bed.
