Capítulo 1968: Forlorn

His mood lightened the moment he saw her smile.

He was, in fact, deeply infatuated with the actress but kept it hidden inside him.

Showbiz was a place littered with dirt, so he was awestruck to find this down-to-earth woman in it.

She had a nurturing presence; it was therapeutic just being next to her even when they were not talking. Hence, he enjoyed her company.

However, he did not consider an unscrupulous guy like him to be worthy of such a lady, so the thought of going after her had never crossed his mind.

She was perfect in his eyes, whereas he had accumulated all sorts of filth from his climb to prominence. His past was something he could not recall without feeling ashamed.

Because of that, he kept a distance from everyone else. He would not let himself be hurt again.

Never did he expect that a day would come when there was someone whom he wanted to protect so much.

Love could be so elusive and complex.
