Capítulo 189: For What?!

Valentine was isolated and introverted at the same time that Draven found it hard to comprehend what sort of lifestyle he had. His behavior made him seem quite social, but one would be surprised to realize that he was in fact a lonely boy who had nobody.

"I see." Draven turned around and left the room.

Valentine peeked at Avelina, who was still standing in the room, peering at him. He sat up in bed, perplexed. "Sister-in-law?"

"Are you okay?" Avelina inquired. 

Valentine shrugged. "I guess so."

"Did Olive really say you were not his friend?" Avelina further probed.

Valentine took a few moments before nodding.

"He did. But it's okay. He made me realize that it was actually my fault. I kind of forced it on him, even though he said no a few times. He did not want to be my friend at all." He was smiling, despite the fact that he was quite hurt.

But Avelina noticed, so she asked, "It hurts, doesn't it? To be rejected like that."
