The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2218

“Valor, can’t you see that you’re just setting yourself up to be hurt? You’re honestly telling me you don’t want to cut ties with him? I mean I just don’t get it, girl. He’s bad news, and I can’t stand by and watch you fall for his tricks. You’re going to get hurt if you keep this up!”

Aurora asked again, a pained smile on her face.

The camera captured an escalating argument between Aurora and Valor, set against the backdrop of the beach where they had grown up together. They had chosen this spot today, a place woven with childhood memories, to have a heart-to-heart about Valor’s new boyfriend, David.

“Do you even remember what this place means to us? The first time we found this spot, for we swore we’d be best friends forever. And now, you’re willing to throw that away guy?”
