Secret Love Ends When He Doesn't Love Me Anymore

I realized it was the third day since I fainted, and the content of that book was fresh in my mind.

I knew today was the day of their first meeting, and I was supposed to go to the library with Yates, where Linda would bump into us from behind.

So, I felt restless all day. Even though I thought the book was ridiculous, I couldn't shake off the anxiety.

"Gina, are you feeling unwell? If so, we can go tomorrow instead. Let me take you home first."

Yates said with a concerned look on his face as he started to get up.

I quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Yates, don't go. Let's just stay here for now and go out later tonight."

Yates furrowed his brow in confusion as he glanced at me but didn't say anything.

He then pulled a painkiller from his pocket and took my cup.

"Is it your time of the month? You always overeat and end up with a stomachache. Let me go get you a cup of hot water. You wait here."

Seeing Yates's actions warmed my heart, and I wondered if he might have feelings for me.

He remembered my menstrual cycle, carried painkillers with him, and knew my birthday and my preferences.

When I was home alone and woke up in the middle of the night from the thunder, Yates even rushed over with an umbrella.

If Yates and Linda didn't meet this time, then the book would be fake, and I would confess my feelings.

I made up my mind at that moment, feeling a bit nervous, but when I turned my gaze, all that remained in my heart was despair.

The female lead still appeared, and even though we hadn't gone out, they still ended up meeting.

Yates had prepared a cup of water for me, but it spilled all over Linda.

Linda was soaked, looking at Yates with her innocent eyes, tears welling up as she silently gazed into his.

To my surprise, Yates stood there, dazed, captivated by her gaze.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other so affectionately, I couldn't hold back any longer. I rushed forward and pulled Yates behind me.

"I'm sorry! Yates didn't mean to do that. Here's the dry cleaning fee. I'm really sorry, but we have to go now."

I tugged at Yates to leave, but to my shock, Linda's words made him drop my hand.

Linda gently tugged at Yates's shirt and timidly said, "Um, it's okay. You can take the money back. I can wash it. It's just... my clothes are a bit see-through. Could you lend me your shirt?"

I looked at Yates in a panic and hurriedly took off my own shirt to give to her, but Yates stopped me.

"Gina, you're not feeling well. Don't catch a cold. Just use my shirt. I'll take her home."

As he said this, he released my hand, took off his jacket, draped it over Linda, and then walked away with her.

That day, as I watched them walk away, my nose felt sour, and my eyes instantly filled with tears. I quickly lowered my head to let them fall.

Could it be that the book is real? Do we really have no future?

I've liked him for so many years. Just because I'm not the female lead, does that mean I don't deserve to be with him?

No, I don't want to give up. I won't admit defeat before they get together.

Later, I started to avoid every scene from the book.

Today was the day Linda would be bullied, so I had already taken a leave of absence and locked myself in my room. After all, I was about to graduate and didn't have any classes left.

Maybe if I just stayed inside, nothing would happen.
