Chapter 88 Jealousy

• On the way to the Salvatore mansion, Paulina observed the landscape, lost in thought and nervously twirling the ring on her finger. She imagined the scenarios that would unfold if she had the courage to tell Simon she loved him. In many of them, he reciprocated her feelings, hugged her tightly against his chest, and said he loved her too. But there was always that point of darkness staring at her in a heavy silence of rejection.
• She had changed so much in the last few days, but she was still the same insecure girl, huddled in her own fears and doubts. Holding her feelings in her chest, masking them with resigned smiles, restraining her gestures, and understanding the limitations of her relationship with Simon hurt deeply.
• Throughout the week, Guilherme had been saying that he was making the same mistake as in his previous relationship, wasting his time on something with no future. He even arranged a job offer for her, silencing any excuse that she would be unemployed, even though she had never said she was leaving her current job.
