Chapter 318\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time, Winnie had felt utterly defeated. Veronica\u2019s words had come true once again: everyone who got involved with her ended badly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, Oscar even came to the house demanding an explanation. Perhaps Michael leaving her was the best thing for him. So she had agreed to Oscar\u2019s request-not to bother Michael again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she could never bring herself to say this to Michael. She was proud and didn\u2019t want him to pity her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrabbed the wrong person? You think I\u2019d believe that excuse?\u201d Michael\u2019s voice carried a hint of amusement.\u201d If that\u2019s the case, why didn\u2019t you visit me once while I was in the hospital? And those words you said to others\u2026\u2019 Michael would be better off dead\u2019? What was that about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t visit you\u2026 because your dad forbade it. And what I said to others\u2026 that was just out of anger,\u201d Winnie admitted, her voice unusually soft, her gaze lowering slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what she said was true. After recovering, she had sneaked into the hospital, hoping to see Michael. But Oscar\u2019s men were always on guard, never allowing her near.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During that time, Veronica had spread stories about her and Michael everywhere, leaving Winnie publicly humiliated at every turn. She had always been sharp-tongued and accustomed to hiding her true feelings, and in a moment of frustration, she had spoken harshly to preserve the little shred of dignity she had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She never expected Michael would overhear. Afterwards, she regretted it deeply, hating her own sharp tongue, knowing he must have been hurt by her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was precisely because she wasn\u2019t one to explain herself that she had wanted, more than once, to clarify things with Michael. But Michael had clearly intended to cut ties completely. He had finally given up chasing her, and Winnie naturally didn\u2019t want to interfere any further. Perhaps it was better for both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you\u2026 telling the truth?\u201d Michael hesitated for a moment. His eyes, which had held suspicion, softened, replaced by emotions too deep to dissolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie glanced at him from the corner of her eye, her face betraying a trace of awkwardness. \u201cBelieve it or not- it\u2019s up to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe you,\u201d Michael said almost immediately, his clear, steady voice brushing against her slight impatience with a warmth that made her heart sink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie pursed her lips, refusing to meet his gaze, and said nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen our misunderstandings are cleared,\u201d Michael continued after a pause. \u201cAll the unpleasantness of the past \u2026 ends here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, his voice was no longer cold. It remained calm and composed, but there was a gentle warmth in it that felt like the first breeze of spring returning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Michael extended his hand toward her. \u201cSo\u2026 can we still be friends?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie looked at his hand and slowly placed hers in it. His palm closed around hers-warm, strong, reassuring. For a moment, her eyes welled up, but she quickly reminded herself of Oscar\u2019s warning. And the advice of her\u00a0<\/p>\n

own family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The light in Michael\u2019s eyes had just begun to return when Winnie added coldly, \u201cAs long as you don\u2019t expect too much from me. I\u2019m not reliable, and I could never\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know. You\u2019d never like me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Michael spoke first. He had heard these words from her before, so many times that it had left him with a mental scar. His expression darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hadn\u2019t expected her to feel differently toward him. All of Winnie\u2019s previous boyfriends had been completely opposite to him in personality. He had understood long ago that he wasn\u2019t her type.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since he could never become the person she wanted, being friends was enough. At least he wouldn\u2019t have to endure the pain of unrequited longing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, finally, they could speak openly and settle old grievances. That alone made him satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
