Chapter 344 Hadn't Planned to Help Her

Listening to my long speech, she looked at me for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter. She looked at me and said, "Tabatha, you don't really think that I would retaliate out of spite after being rejected do you?"

Huh!

I gave an awkward laugh, truly at a loss for words.

She held her forehead, revealing a face of helplessness, "What kind of person do you think I am? He rejected me, but I didn't hate him, let alone take revenge on him because of unrequited love. Don't make it so dramatic, okay?"

"So you still pursued him even though..." You kept pestering him even after being rejected, this...

She was speechless, shrugged and said, "I don't want to give up just like that, not to pester him relentlessly. He rejected me, but he doesn't have someone he likes yet, does he? I know, my sudden confession just now was indeed very rash. Liking someone is a beautiful thing in itself, but only for me. When I suddenly poured out my unrequited love to him, he would inevitably feel abrupt and uncomfortable. It's normal for him to reject me."

After speaking, she paused for a few seconds, then said seriously, "When I was very young, I loved dolls. My father made a rule that I could earn rewards by helping to clean the house every day. When I had saved up enough rewards, I could exchange them for the doll I liked. From a young age, I understood that if you like something, whether it's a person or a thing, you have to work hard to get it. Just talking about it is useless. I do like Alexander, but during the time I've

known him, I've only been saying I like him behind his back. I've never let him get to know me, nor have I ever given him the sincerity of this affection. So, it's not surprising that he would reject me."

I pursed my lips, staring blankly at the gradually shrinking snowflakes outside, and couldn't help but speak up, "Sincerity?"

She hummed in agreement, "Of course, liking someone requires sincerity, otherwise, how cheap this affection would be."

I pursed my lips, unable to stop thinking about everything Walter had done recently. I couldn't help but say, "But what if, in the end, even if you give all your sincerity, you still can't move the other person?" Her gaze became much more serene, and with a slight smile, she said, "I tried, I strived, and if the final result is still not satisfactory, that's okay. At least for me, this affection, I have worked hard for it. This unattainable desire is not a regret. On the contrary, the person whom I have loved with all my effort, who missed my pure sincerity, should be the one to regret."

Yes, as long as you tried hard, even if you ended up with nothing, at least you had no regrets. The one who should have regrets is the person who was clearly loved but did not appreciate it. Olivia left, and I stood by the railing, lost in thought for a long time before I finally turned back towards the way I had come.

After only a few steps, he ran into Walter not far away. To be precise, he was supporting Marjorie by his side.

The reason for the support was because Marjorie's leg was lame.

Upon seeing me, Walter hesitated slightly, but his gaze was calm.

It was Marjorie, however, who seemed quite alarmed, with a look of hesitation on her face. Then, in a soft voice, she looked at me and said,

"Ms. Conner, could you please call Alexander for me? I slipped and hurt myself just now."

I nodded, hadn't yet opened my mouth, when I saw Odin had already come over. He quickly reacted and supported Marjorie, who was next to Walter. Walter was supporting Marjorie with one hand, to be precise, he just lent her an arm.

After supporting the person, Odin then walked towards me, his voice calm and composed as he asked, "Where have you been?"

I spoke softly, "Watching the snow by the railing."

While talking to him, Alexander had already arrived. Seeing Marjorie injured, he slightly furrowed his brows and almost without thinking, he took Marjorie from Odin's arms and cradled her.

Left.

Watching the two people leave, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Alexander's reaction... was intriguing.

Spent a day at the welfare home, distributed gifts and played games with the children, and naturally, went back home.

Because Marjorie had fallen and injured herself, both mother and Alexander went with her to the hospital. Olivia and Odin went their way, so I had no choice but to go with Walter.

On the road, Walter gripped the steering wheel, his dark eyes focused on the road ahead, his voice low and restrained, "I didn't intend to help her."

I was taken aback, didn't react immediately, and glanced at him sideways.

His expression was cold and indifferent as he said, "There was no one
