Sigh, is this how things are between people?

Sometimes your heart doesn’t completely have those thoughts, it’s just that many ideas and emotions get tangled, becoming complicated.

Then when the person doesn’t speak up, it turns into a misunderstanding, and maybe even if they do, it can’t be explained clearly.

So perhaps in this world, there’s no one who can truly understand another person, which is why we’re lonely.

It’s like, I didn’t want to be a bad person, so why do you think I am one?

Alvin was filled with rage, but had nowhere to vent it. He returned to his room and couldn’t even bother to walk to the sofa, sinking down against the door.

Helplessly, he cupped his face with his hands, rubbing hard, as if he was exhausted...

"Your, Your Highness." John was frightened seeing him like this, trembling too much to even speak.

Alvin kept his face in his hands, the silent repression was evident from him, affecting anyone around him with a certain sadness.

John looked at him, feeling very uneasy.

He seemed to vaguely hear Nangong Lin scolding Alvin. He thought they had ’been together’ last night, so he couldn’t understand why Nangong Lin was scolding Alvin.

But he heard those words, and honestly, they were quite hurtful.

So that’s how Miss Nangong sees His Highness. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

John didn’t know what to say, so he sat down next to Alvin.

Who knows how long it took before Alvin finally let go of his hands, raising his eyes, looking gloomy, he asked in a hoarse voice, "John, am I a bad person?"

John was taken aback, quickly bowing his head, "Why would Your Highness say that about himself?"

"Didn’t you hear Nangong Lin cursing me? She really hates me." Alvin smirked in self-mockery.

John was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, "Is it because of the matter with Miss Nangong Four last time?"

"Yes." Alvin nodded, "Maybe, or maybe she just hated me all along."

John paused, then said, "Your Highness, you shouldn’t blame yourself for what happened last time. In my view, you didn’t do anything wrong."

"Really?" Alvin turned his eyes towards John, his glassy amber eyes showed confusion, and his lips curled more in self-mockery, "So does that mean I actually did the right thing?"

"Everyone has their position," John said, "First of all, you didn’t intrude into Miss Four’s relationship with the Commander, you intervened only because you were worried about Miss Four. Kidnapping Miss Four was just a common men’s approach, I don’t see much wrong, besides, you never forced her from beginning to end."

Alvin didn’t speak.

John’s brows knitted together tightly. Back then, he was very clear on this matter, as Alvin’s agent and personal assistant, he knew everything about Alvin’s affairs.

When Alvin received a call from Nangong Jin, his primary concern was that Nangong Ran would suffer grievances. At that time, Alvin was busy discussing a contract, but the moment he got the call, he stopped the meeting immediately, leaving with a single sentence, "Prepare the plane, going to Empire at once."

Everyone was left bewildered and clueless, only onboard did John realize it was for Miss Nangong Ran.

Alvin even asked him on the plane whether he should just steal Nangong Ran away, then said he was just kidding.

But in the end, he really did take Nangong Ran away, causing Di Mingchen to call the King personally, declaring war.

Yet even after all this, Alvin didn’t send Nangong Ran back. John thought he must have planned it from the start.

In reality, he knew early on that Nangong Ran wouldn’t leave with him, but he was just unwilling to accept it.
