Chapter 23
At that moment, Maria cleared her throat a few times, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
“How you bullied Raelynn, we and the old man know it too. Joshua will teach you a lesson, we won’t interfere.”
“But now, how have you treated Alice? Where have you placed her reputation, and where have you placed the reputa- tion of the Norster family?”
“I used to say that I liked you, and now I am not willing to get engaged to her because of you. But I have already made it clear about my engagement, there is no reason to take it back!”
“Unless the three of you find your ideal partners and get married, there will still be other people even without Alice!”
As soon as the words fell, Maria angrily got up to leave.
Joshua stepped forward and helped her leave.
Raelynn followed closely behind.
After they left, the light in Adam’s eyes instantly dimmed.
“There was no chance.”
He muttered dejectedly.
Benjamin and Charlie were also just silent.
After a long time, Charlie clenched his fists tightly and almost squeezed out the words from deep in his throat: “It’s impossible. Raelynn has been chasing after us for so long, how could she not like one of us?”
“She understood me so well, understood every role I played, collected so much about me, she must have me in her heart.”
With that, he bitterly cried and laughed, then suddenly got up, ran back to his room frantically, searching for the box Raelynn had thrown at him.
Carrying those notes written by hand, with deep affection and persistence.
“For so many years, she never gave up. If it weren’t for the arranged marriage between the two families, she would never have chosen to marry her younger uncle.”

“It’s all my fault. I should have seen my own heart earlier, so we wouldn’t have missed each other. She and my younger uncle just got married, there’s no love between them.
they compare to our many years of being to- gether?”
His eyes gradually became more determined.

Benjamin and Adam followed behind him and naturally heard his muttering.
In his heart, he also deceived himself, telling himself that maybe it was true, after all, they had a deep understanding of Raelynn’s persistence and love for them in the past.
Can you really move on from a relationship so quickly?
Even if it was for marriage, could she really do it without any love?
In all these years of being good to them, did she really never feel a spark?
Benjamin didn’t believe.
He also returned to the room and flipped through all the medical notes written by Raelynn.
Unlike those pursuers who came because of his appearance, she was truly learning everything he was interested in.
From the very beginning of being completely clueless, to eventually being able to impress him, how could she have persisted to this point without any love for him?
The dull and boring knowledge, written in her handwriting, seemed very interesting to him.
Suddenly, his door was knocked.
Benjamin furrowed his brow as he opened the door, only to see someone he did not want to see.
Alice was wearing a thin strap nightgown, and the fair skin beneath the neckline was clearly visible with even the slightest movement.
She, however, seemed unaware of the risk of exposure, covering her bleeding forehead and looking at him with teary
eyes.
“Benjamin, my forehead hurts so much, can you help me apply some medicine?”
He had no appreciation for the beauty of the human body in his eyes, only boredom and indifference.
“If you’re in pain, go to the hospital. I’m not your personal doctor, I’m not obligated to take care of you.”
With that, he decisively closed the door as if there were a flood or fierce beast behind him.
