Three Little Guardian Angels

Chapter 998

Ryleigh could not even utter a single word after a long time. She had always regarded Joe as her best friend-she would even categorize Joe as one of her confidants because he understood her so well.

However, she did not know that Joe understood her because he did so with all his heart.

“But… Why didn’t he tell me?” Ryleigh could not understand.

Maisie picked up the teacup, and her eyes were fixed on the rippling tea. ‘The feelings that he has for you are more than friends but less than lovers. Once he crosses the line and tells you what he’s wanted to tell you all this while, some things will never return to how they were before that, and that can ruin a friendship.”

Having said that, Maisie raised her gaze and glanced at Ryleigh. ‘Are you sure that you wouldn’t be frightened by him and stay away from him after confessing to you all of a sudden back then?” Ryleigh did not know what to say for a while. After all, she had never thought about the answer to the question. “What would I do if Joe had confessed to me back then? Maisie placed her hand on the back of Ryleigh’s hand. “I know you’ve always regarded Joe as your best friend, but no matter what, you have to come forward to solve this matter yourself.”

Ryleigh, if you really don’t want your relationship with Joe to go beyond a point of no return, go and tell him everything in person. If you can still be friends after that, then take him back as the friend that you value the most in life. But if you can’t move on as friends after that, you can only take it as a misfortune.” Maisie paused for a bit, stood up slowly with her arms propping against the desk, and picked up her handbag. “Some things have to be made clear as soon as possible.”
