Chapter 298 It Doesn't Seem Like an Act
"Yes," William Bennett nodded.
"Do you have a picture of her?" Ava Anderson was curious. She wanted to know what kind of girl William Bennett liked the most, especially since he mentioned that her personality was somewhat like Ava's.
"Her picture..." William Bennett suddenly remembered something, "It's on my phone, but I left my phone at home today, so I didn't see your messages or get your calls."
It was a perfect and unquestionable excuse.
He spoke the truth.
He had left in a hurry that morning, in a moment of anger, forgetting his phone, which was why he had not answered Ava Anderson's calls.
"I see."
It seemed she had messaged William Bennett after he had already left the house that day.
"Well, I can just see the picture another time. But haven't you pursued her? Or did you get turned down?"
"The problem is..." William Bennett said helplessly, "she has a boyfriend now."
"Oh, turns out she's not single," Ava Anderson didn't know what kind of expression to face William Bennett with.
Was it verbal consolation or encouragement for him to pursue his true love?
However, since the girl already had a boyfriend, encouraging Will to be the other man and cause a break-up wasn't right.
"Will, I can understand how you feel," she said. "Liking someone who isn't yours."
It reminded her so much of her and Alexander Mitchell.
William Bennett continued, "She and her boyfriend have broken up."
"Broken up?" Ava Anderson felt genuinely happy for William Bennett. "Then you might have a chance. Go for it."
"But she's still in love with her ex," he sighed. "Right now, she's definitely not ready to start a new relationship. Think about it, if someone approached you right after your divorce from Alexander Mitchell, would you be ready?"
"I..." Ava shook her head. "I wouldn't be ready, but not everyone feels the same. Some girls, when they're hurt, they might recover faster if someone else is there to comfort them."
"She's kind of like you," William Bennett said. "Both deeply emotional and deeply wounded."
Ava Anderson fell into silence.
"Ava," William Bennett looked sorrowful. "Is it hopeless? I shouldn't pursue her, it seems I'm destined to be alone forever."
"Don't ever say that," Ava Anderson replied anxiously, trying to console him. "You're such a great catch, how could you end up alone? If you wanted, plenty of girls would love to be with you. Many people would love you."
"But Ava, you have to admit, for someone like me, even if many would want to be with me, do they really love me? Most people are after something they can get from me. I want that pure love where she loves me for who I am. In today's world, with morals declining and people being so deceitful, how much pure love is left?"
He let out a sigh.
And it didn't seem feigned.
"Don't devalue yourself," Ava comforted him. "Even if you had nothing, plenty of girls would still love you. There are so many men in this world with nothing—they don't have your looks, your talent, but they're still loved. And that's without mentioning you. You just haven't started looking."
Ava Anderson comforted him with the warmth of a caring older sister.
"I've found it," William Bennett said with his head hanging low. "It's just a shame, the woman I like, I mean Elinor Fairfax... under these circumstances, what should I do?"
