Chapter 713 What Was I Like?

• Cassian showed no trace of sympathy toward Serene. Instead, he spoke evenly, "What you call love is nothing but obsession. That's not love. Loving someone should feel natural, open, joyful, and relaxed—it should make both people feel comfortable. If your so-called love makes the other person uncomfortable, then they're not the one meant to walk beside you through life. You should let go and allow them their happiness. Love isn't about wielding it as a banner to justify taking, forcing, or possessing at all costs…"
• "Stop it!" Serene clutched her ears tightly, her voice filled with despair. "I don't want to hear it… Just tell me, who is Renard? Why do you both speak the same way?"
• Cassian's gaze remained indifferent. "You failed him. In the end, he couldn't reach you. There's no need for you to know his name."
