Chapter 481 Another Encounter with Ezekiel

• Love bore different meanings to everyone, so I did not have the answer to Aria's question. My silence prodded an answer from her instead. "Love is about acceptance to me, not grievance. Speaking of grievance, I experienced it during my olden days. I like the way Nicholas and I treat each other. At least, I see hope every day unlike before, where there's no ray of sunshine."
• She mentioned hope and took a breath. "Ms. Felix, I thought about marrying an ordinary guy who works as a superior in a company; thought about living together with him by giving each other the respect we need; thought about giving birth to his children; thought about all those household trivia. It fears me, but I gotta build up a family to repay my mother! Since I'm gonna marry someone sooner or later, Nicholas is not that bad of a choice. After all… He's the man I love. I'm satisfied. Living through the days with him gives me butterflies. I bet you understand what it feels like, Ms. Felix. I don't expect him to love me back because marrying him itself is my biggest fortune. Everyone has their ways of living, Ms. Felix, and not everyone needs love. Love is a luxury in the adult's world."
• She paused momentarily before continuing, "Of course, it would've been perfect if he loved me, but I know. I know that he won't fall for another woman anymore."
