Chapter 256: 256. Confession

Even if they all still gather together when it was holiday and played together from time to time, but it was no longer the same. The four of them no longer played together so much.

With Mark and Lucy being together, Anna didn’t want to be the high wattage bulb between the two of them and being forced to eat dog food. Anna also has her own fiancé and spend more time with him.

Thus, her interaction with Dylan was decreasing.

They no longer as close as they used to be.

Even though Anna felt a bit uncomfortable, but she also understood that it was a normal thing to happen because they were all growing up. They were no longer children and there were differences between men and woman.

So Anna didn’t force it.

The two of them shouldn’t have much interaction anymore.

Until the broken engagement.

Anna had to say that it was that broken engagement that changed everything in her life. From her friends, to her home, and her living situation. Everything changed from that day and then the world itself changed.

Previously, Anna might still mind being too close to other people because she didn’t want to arouse suspicion.

But after the broken engagement... why should she care?

She didn’t care too much.

So when Dylan and her returned to the days when their interaction was close like they used to be when they were a child and Dylan also acted like a child from time to time, Anna seemed to accept everything well.

She didn’t even think that it was strange.

The three years of lukewarm relationship seemed to be disappeared all of the sudden and the two of them become close friends once more.

But it shouldn’t be that simple. From what Anna guessed, Dylan should have some thoughts and tried to close their relationship’s gap slowly but surely. And within a few months, he had become part of her life.

Even if they were only neighbor, but they kept on having interaction with each other.

From time to time, Anna would pay a visit to Dylan’s apartment or Dylan would go to her apartment.

The corner of Anna’s lips curled up when she thought about this matter.

He wanted to boil the frog in the warm water.

And his strategy... is successful.

Even if it was slow, but Anna realized that she also liked him very much. If not because she had some feelings for him in the first place, there was no way she would be letting him enter her life so easily.

The foundation of them being childhood friends was what made the two of them get close again.

Ah...

"We’re almost there," Dylan said.

"Um," Anna replied and walked a bit faster on the steps that Dylan had made before. At this time, she just felt that she was really lucky.

Lucky that she still has someone who will stand side by side with her even after her family members abandoned her.

"Thank you," Anna murmured in a low voice.

Dylan couldn’t hear Anna’s words clearly and wanted to turn around. "Did you say something, Sister Anna?"

"It’s nothing." Anna looked at Dylan’s back. "Say, how long have you thought about it?"

"Thought about what?" Dylan asked back, his ears were red. He could guess what Anna wanted to ask, but he didn’t really want to answer. Even if the temperature was really cold right now, but he only felt that it was really warm.

At least, on his face, it is hot.

"Well, like?" Anna’s face was also a bit when she asked.

Ugh, she really wanted to slap her mouth right now. Why did she have to ask this question out?

Ahhh, she felt really shy!

Dylan coughed and turned around, only to see Anna’s red face. There was smile in his eyes as he answered, "It’s been a long time."

"A long time?" Anna was taken aback.

The two of them were close as childhood friends, but Anna had never thought of Dylan that way until only recently. She felt that she was truly a failure.

"But I..."

"I know," Dylan interrupted Anna’s words. His ears were a bit red, but he still continued, "You’re always looking at him, how can you look in my direction?"

He, Mark, and Lucy were all Anna’s close friends. They had been together for a long time and often played together. The engagement between Jake and Anna was mostly because the two families have business dealings together.

In fact, a lot of business together.

In order to make the business more secure, Mr. Williams wanted his daughter to have engagement with Mr. Stafford’s son. The two children were also sensible and have good opinion with each other, which was why the engagement was established.

But after all, the two of them were still young when the engagement was first made.

It was inevitable that there would be some other thoughts later on, which made the two of them quarrel a lot when they were in high school.

Dylan heard about it from time to time when he came back for holiday or weekends to his home. But even if he wanted to step forward, he knew that Anna didn’t look at him in that way, so he was helpless.

He could only watch from the back.

It was very uncomfortable.

But at the same time, he also didn’t want to stop Anna from having her own happy life. It wouldn’t do him any good to destroy other people’s engagement.

Because of this principle, he didn’t try to get close to Anna.

And this wait lasted for several years.

Until there was a chance in front of him.

"Well, I was still young at that time..." Dylan coughed. "I only thought that you’re very good and I want you to be my wife and then the thoughts continued until I grow up..."

From puppy love to strong love.

His feelings continued to grow with time.
