Love Is So Sweet - Chapter 62

After Jun and Matthew talked about what to do regarding the Lisa situation, the two went their separate ways. Jun headed home, while Matthew headed towards Edrea’s place.

Currently, Edrea was living in a separate house from her father. The house she was using was rather big for a single lady to live in. Fortunately, Edrea had a dozen people working inside her house. She even had a few bodyguards staying in the living quarters opposite her house.

Upon Matthew’s arrival, the guards recognized him and allowed him to pass after checking if he had anything dangerous on him. Once he was cleared, one of the maids guided him to the living room where he waited for Edrea.

It didn’t take long for Edrea to rush to Matthew’s side. Even in her own home, she was dress in such a way that makes her truly look like a model.

“Matt! You’re finally here, so how was it? Their relationship was fake right?” Matthew was about to answer, but he didn’t want to say it in front of these maids.

“Can we talk somewhere more private?” Hearing what Matthew said Edrea nodded her head and signaled her maids to leave. Upon receiving their orders the maids left the living room. Once she was sure no one was left Edrea spoke.

“There, we’re alone. So what is it that you want to tell me?” Edrea was showing Matthew an expression full of hope. Seeing her like that made it even more difficult for Matthew to say what he wanted to say. Still, he needed to say it… This was for the best for both his friends.

“…Edrea… Um…” ‘Damn it! Why is this harder than I thought!’ Seeing Matthew showing such an awkward face made Edrea looked at him in worry.

“Is everything alright Matt? Are you feeling unwell, do you want me to call an ambulance?” Hearing Edrea’s worried voice made Matthew feel even worse. Matthew shook his head and strengthened his resolve.

“I’m alright… Edrea, as I said in my text from a while ago, I need to tell you something about Jun and Lisa.”

“Was I right?! I was right, right?! Those two should be faking it, right?!” Edrea got a tad excited as she spoke. Seeing her act like that just strengthened Matthew’s resolve to do this.

“Actually, it’s the opposite the two of them really are dating. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Jun that happy.”

“…NO that can’t be! Oh, I get it, you’re pranking me aren’t you Matt? You and Jun always love playing tricks on me. But this time it’s not funny.”

“Edrea, I’m not tricking you. Everything I’m saying is the truth. So I hope you do as you promised and back off.”

Edrea’s expression darkened and she looked devoid of emotion. A tear then rolled down her beautiful face.

“… That can’t be right… I’m must be hearing things… No, this must be a nightmare. Yeah, that’s it, I must be dreaming and it turned into a nightmare because of my anxiety. Yeah, that must be it. I just need to wake up.” Edrea then started to slap her face, and she slapped it hard. Matthew was alarmed to see her do that and quickly ran towards her stopping her from hurting herself. Matthew proceeded to hug Edrea tightly as he spoke to her.

“Edrea, that’s enough! This isn’t a nightmare, you aren’t asleep. Just please accept what has happened and move on.” Hearing Matthew’s voice and feeling the pain on her cheeks, Edrea became teary-eyed and started crying.

She then proceeded to hug Matthew tightly. “Why, why can’t it be me! What should I do?! What should I do?! Tell me, what should I do, Matt?!”

Matthew didn’t respond and simply comforted Edrea by continuing to hug her. Matthew knew that this needed to be done, but he still felt bad doing it. He couldn’t blame Jun for not reciprocating Edrea’s love. He also couldn’t blame Edrea for falling in love with Jun. He was just a bit angry that fate or whatever it was guided his friends into this predicament. But what he was truly angry at was himself. He was angry that he couldn’t do anything to help this friend of his, to stop her from feeling such pain.
