Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)
Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Maybe it was due to my past experiences that I clung tightly to my painful scars while forgetting the sweet memories.

william and Gabrielle stared at me intently, their expressions like curious kids in a pumpkin patch, eager to hear more. "I didn't know how to fold paper cranes at first, but I learned later. A girl in my neighborhood who taught me said that paper cranes symbolize longing and fullled desires"

When I was younger, I didn't understand what longing truly meant, nor did I grasp the poison it contained. It was an unresolved toxin, a deep-rooted longing that was even harder to eradicate.

"During my school years, I developed a crush on someone who shone brightly. Everything about him was exceptional, and while 1 felt unworthy, I loved the feeling of standing alongside the sun. I even wanted to chase after his light."

Backthen, I noticed he enjoyed reading foreign literature. To nurture his unique abilities, he immersed himself in these books, constantly striving to improve. One day, I saw him with a particular foreign classic that he seemed to treasure. He would read only a few pages at a time, but he was utterly captivated.

On that same day, I found a square piece of shiny candy wrapper. The wrapper sparkled beautifully in the light, creating a dazzling reflection. Remembering how to fold a paper crane, I sincerely crafted the shiny wrapper into a cute crane and tucked it into that book.

"What happened next? Gabrielle asked softly,

I took a deep breath and continued, "Later on, he discovered the paper crane. He didn't say anything; he simply accepted it quietly,"

I hadn't intended to share the rest of the story, but some bittemess came alongside sweetness, and that sweetness often led to deeper heartache. "After that, it felt like ear relationship changed subtly. He seemed to notice me for the first time,"

In his world, I had been invisible, and I desperately sought to claim my place and express my love for him, while also testing the waters, I wanted to dive into this love, but I feared rejection. After all, a bold girl could still have a heart as fragile as glass.

But then I unexpectedly saw him keeping that paper crane well, the sunlight casting beautiful reflections from it.

"I thought he understood my feelings, and 1 was overjoyed, believing that he loved me too. But later, I found out he didn't love me-not at all."

He simply couldn't s spare the time to toss the crane, which symbolized my feelings, into the trash. That misunderstanding made me think he accepted my feelings. He was so focused on his studies that he didn't realize the depth of my emotions or my heartfelt intentions. "There was a huge gap between us. He thought it was just a small trinket, while I believed he accepted my heart. During

I sighed softly, picking up the paper crane before setting it down as if toying with my own emotions.
