Chapter 757
"I'm doing this for you. Megan is getting married soon. Today is your last chance. If you don't try harder, your happiness will slip away. You don’t have to thank me. I wish all lovers in the world would finally be together."
Laura waved her hand and urged Cassie to drive quickly.
Michael was momentarily stunned as the car left behind a trail of exhaust fumes, disappearing into the distance.
Michael felt very sad.
But Laura's words hit him right in the most painful spot in his heart.
Megan was getting married.
No one knew that Michael had loved Megan for a full fourteen years.
At the age of sixteen, he fell for Megan.
But at that time, Megan was already with Joseph, and he didn't want to interfere in Megan and Joseph's relationship. Joseph was also his good friend, so he had been silently blessing Megan and protecting her like a brother.
Now, Megan was finally getting married.
Michael was happy for Megan, but he was sad for himself.
No one enjoyed unrequited love; everyone longed to be with their beloved. Footsteps could be heard from above as Megan and Nathan descended together. Michael locked eyes with Megan, who smiled helplessly at him. "Michael, did you manage to catch up with them?”
"No, they drove away," Michael said softly.
Nathan's face was full of unwillingness, his swollen face looking even more ferocious, "That bitch Laura, I will definitely find someone to kill her."
Michael frowned and glanced at Nathan with some disgust.
Despite Laura hitting her, the truth was that Nathan had caused harm to Laura three years ago. Even though some time had passed, Nathan had shown no signs of change, and his actions remained malicious.
"Nathan, go drive." Megan sensed his displeasure and spoke up hastily.
"Okay." Nathan walked away.
Megan apologized with regret, "Michael, I'm sorry, Nathan... I really don't know what to say, but I will talk to Nathan; I won't let him hurt people again. Nathan owes Laura today. We won't pursue it further."
Michael comforted her, "Megan, you don't need to apologize; I know how you are. Nathan is dragging you down."
Yeah, a few days back, Joseph and I had a disagreement about this. He hardly speaks to me now," Megan said with a bitter smile. "I considered letting it slide, but my parents are no longer here, and Nathan is all I have left in terms of family. Forget it. If Nathan messes up again, I might not be able to save him either.”
Michael nodded, and the two fell into silence for a moment.
After a while, he hesitated and said, "Megan, about what Laura said earlier..."
"Michael, I'm sorry," Megan suddenly teared up. I've always known about your feelings for me. You're a good man, actually better than Joseph..."
"Don't say that." Michael felt uncomfortable.
"I hope you understand," Megan said, looking sad. "When I disappeared all those years ago, Joseph was already married. It was only you. If I had met you before I met Joseph, maybe things would have been different, but he came into my life first. In this lifetime, I can only see you as a brother. I hope to repay you in the next life."
"It's okay." Michael was deeply moved. It was the first time in these years that Megan had told him her feelings. He was already very content, "Love has a sequence; it's just that I came too late; I will always treat you like a sister. If Joseph ever mistreats you in the future, you can count on me. Even if he's my close friend, I will support you in teaching him a lesson.”
"Thank you, Michael." Megan lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
Nathan drove over, and after she got in, she saw Michael staring at their car through the rearview mirror.
