Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Not Even a Chance to Fight For

Maddox Allenson seemed not to hear what he was saying.

He was still looking in the direction Ashton Heath had left, letting Mike chatter in his ear, remaining silent the whole time, not saying a word.

"Little Tutu, did you hear what I just said to you?!" Seeing that he didn’t respond, Mike stomped his foot, annoyed, "Stop thinking about that girl! Nothing will happen between you two! You better collect your thoughts and focus on your career."

"Once your career is stable, it won’t be a problem if you want to date or even get married! But for now, don’t think about those things and collect your thoughts. Do you understand?"

"Mike..."

After a long while, Maddox finally spoke up.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, with an indecipherable expression on his face. Turning his head to look at Mike calmly, he said, "Did you know?"

Mike frowned, puzzled, "Know what?"

Maddox smiled, but without reaching his eyes, "This is the first time I’ve ever liked someone."

Mike: "..."

"This is the first time my heart has been moved by a girl. I know you might think that I just met her and my feelings for her aren’t deep enough, so I could quickly let her go. I thought that too."

"Little Tutu, what are you trying to say?"

Maddox smiled faintly, "I just can’t help feeling regretful. After waiting for so many years, I finally met someone I like, but it must end before it even begins."

"I’m being forced to give up without even having the chance to fight for her."

"Mike, do you know how terrible this feeling is? It’s been a long, long time since I’ve experienced such a terrible feeling."

Mike furrowed his brow in silence, letting out a soft sigh, "Little Tutu, I’ve been young too; I’ve liked people too. So I can understand your feelings right now. But as you can see, she has a boyfriend."

"Her boyfriend is clearly an excellent man, well-suited for her."

"You can’t possibly be thinking of sticking your foot in their relationship."

"I’ve never thought about it like that."

"That’s right. So, what other option do you have besides giving up? It just means you two are fated to meet but not fated to be together. If you really can’t let her go, I won’t force you to; if you still want to like her, go ahead and like her."

Maddox raised his eyes in surprise, "Mike, you..."

"Your heart belongs to you, and if you insist on liking her, what can I do about it? But you should have a clear understanding in your own heart: keep your love buried inside, and don’t let it show anymore."

Maddox pursed his lips, a faint melancholy covering his beautiful, delicate face, falling silent for a long time without uttering a word.

Mike didn’t say anything else and just quietly accompanied him.

After a long while, his clenched fist at his side slowly loosened. The lowered eyelashes gently trembled, "Mm, I understand."

Mike stared at him, "Have you thought it through?"

"Mm."

"That’s good." Mike stepped forward to pat his shoulder, "Let’s go. It’s getting late, let’s go back and rest. We need to get up early tomorrow."

Joanna Lawrence slept soundly.

Ashton Heath carried her into the room and gently laid her onto the bed; throughout the process, she showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing her sleep so peacefully, he didn’t have the heart to wake her. He went to his suitcase and found a shirt, carefully removing her clothing and replacing it with the shirt.
