Chapter 358: Will you forgive Jones for what he did_1

Helen Melendy stared at her tears for a long time, dumbfounded. She had known her for so many years, but she had never seen her cry, this was the first time.

It seemed that she was truly upset.

"Elly..."

Helen Melendy patted Elly Campbell’s shoulder, silently comforting her.

It took a long while before Helen Melendy took a deep breath and sneered, "Who would have thought it was such a calculated scheme."

"Will you forgive Adam the swine?"

Although Adam Jones was also a victim in this matter, his thoughtless treatment of Elly made it hard for her to feel any sympathy for that pig.

Elly shook her head and smiled, "It’s not about forgiveness. Those three years, to be honest, were a mutual choice. He didn’t force me to marry him, nor did he force me to be good to him. Everything was my own willingness."

Hearing this, Helen Melendy furrowed her brows; although the words were not wrong, why did they sound so uncomfortable?

"You’re not still planning to be with him, are you?"

Even if it wasn’t completely Adam Jones’s fault, were the sufferings of those three years just to be forgotten?

Elly saw her frown discontentedly and laughed lightly, "How could that be possible? Apart from not seeking forgiveness, there’s just no need to hold on to the past between us anymore. The more one can’t forget the past, the more entangled everything becomes. Only by moving forward can I have the chance to let go."

Helen Melendy’s expression finally improved a little.

"Have you truly let go then?"

Helen Melendy asked earnestly, and while she was asking Elly, she was actually asking herself as well.

"Is it really that easy to let go?"

If she could let go, she wouldn’t be screaming at the sight of Harry Hall, would she? Just like Elly with Adam Jones, even if she seemed to treat him nonchalantly every time, being easily angered by Adam, how could that be truly letting go?

Elly was momentarily stunned by her question, and, opening her mouth to answer, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to say "I’ve let go."

"I’ll try."

Looking at Helen Melendy, she ended up only saying this. She didn’t feign nonchalance before Helen Melendy to hide her feelings for Adam Jones.

In front of others, she had pretended enough and was tired; she didn’t want to have to play a role at this moment, in front of her good friend.

"It’s difficult, but without really trying, how would one know whether they can move on."

"But you’ve been trying for four years, Elly."

Helen Melendy’s words mercilessly hit Elly’s weak spot, causing her heart to ache fiercely.

The atmosphere between them fell into a suffocating silence.

"Then it’ll be ten years, twenty years. One day I’ll be able to let go."

After a long while, Helen Melendy heard Elly’s voice, particularly hoarse, opening up like that.

"What if you can’t let go in a lifetime?"

"Then it’s just my own fault, isn’t it?"

Elly laughed indifferently, "He’s proposed getting back together a few times, and I’ve rejected him each time. The truth is, I’m scared. I still can’t let go of him now, and I’m afraid that one day I’ll fall crazily in love with him just like I did back then. I’ve lost once, I’m afraid I can’t afford to lose a second time."

Even if Adam Jones came to tell her he truly loved her deeply, she wouldn’t dare to love him with abandon as she had in the past.

Some pain is enough with just one experience; who has the capital to go through it a second time?

Once bitten, twice shy! Isn’t that the principle?

Helen Melendy quietly observed Elly; her eyes were extraordinarily bright in the darkness of the night, yet this brightness made the sadness deep within her eyes all too clear.

Does Elly even realize it?
