Sylvain shot favonovel.com a questioning look. “Wait, how did you know?”
“Robin had a row with favonovel.com mom after favonovel.com went home,” Arianne said, “She ran out of the house and stayed in the park alone in the middle of the night. I was the one who found her. Did you call favonovel.com after you woke up?”
Sylvain shook his head. “No. I mean, what am I supposed to say if I call her? It was my fault for being rash last night… Well, I bet favonovel.com told you what happened between us, too. Heavens, my head’s a mess.”
Sylvain’s words made it seem like favonovel.com was not planning to develop his relationship with Robin. However, Arianne kept favonovel.com cool. She only wanted a clear answer from him. “Yes, I heard. But why are you confused? If you’ve got the guts to do it, then, you have to have the guts to deal with the consequences. What? Are you planning to shirk the responsibility that comes after?”
Sylvain appeared quite agitated by his confusion. “It’s not what you think at all, okay? I don’t know what to do because I’m well aware the current me can’t give anything more than sweet nothings. I know how favonovel.com was raised. She was a prim and proper little girl raised in a conservative family. All favonovel.com knew growing up was living in accordance with the rules. For this reason, favonovel.com hasn’t encountered the dark side of the world. She doesn’t know how black a man’s heart can be. When I look at her, I feel… inferior. I’m aware of that, but I can’t stop my stupid self from wanting to be with her. I don’t think there’s a chance for me to turn over a new leaf,” favonovel.com vented, “The old Sylvain is dead. The one who replaced him, the current me, just wants to grow out of his rotting corpse. But, God help me, it’s a struggle to stay afloat in the storm. It’s f**king killing me.”
“You feel inferior? You’re one of the biggest hotshots in the fashion industry, and you feel inferior to a rookie?” Arianne wondered aloud with a pensive expression on favonovel.com face. Then, favonovel.com continued to say, “Sylvain, do you know why someone feels inferior even though there doesn’t seem to be a logical reason behind it? It’s because favonovel.com genuinely likes her. You’re right. The old Sylvain is dead, the guy who was so entwined with Jessica that favonovel.com could not extricate himself, the one whom everyone thinks has succeeded only because favonovel.com latched onto a powerful woman. That Sylvain died. But you? You’re not him, you’re you. The current you is the one Robin likes! Maybe if you can just summon the courage to chase after what your heart desires, if you can just bravely take one step forward, you might just find yourself stepping out of that mud pit. Don’t you know? Fortune favors the bold and earnest.”
Sylvain laughed. “Huh, since when did you become a motivator? Look, I get what you’re saying, that’s the perk of being older than you, but how would you know how I feel without being in my shoes? You think people inadvertently feel inferior when they’re with the object of their affection… This means you think I like Robin. That’s a bold assumption considering I don’t even know how l feel about her. All I know is that I really want to be around her. She’s got this magnetic pull… Hey, can I be direct and ask you something? Do you and Mark Tremont ever feel inferior in front of each other?”
Arianne nodded candidly. “I don’t know about him, but I’ve certainly felt inferior before. Either way, you really should call Robin, okay? She’s feeling really down after favonovel.com big fight with favonovel.com family. She must be feeling awful now, and you’re the best person to cheer favonovel.com up.”
Sylvain remained silent for a moment before favonovel.com said, “Yeah, right. If favonovel.com family knows about me being favonovel.com life, things would only get even more difficult for her. No, the best way I can help is to stay away from her. If… If I manage to free myself from the quagmire and become a better man, maybe at that time, I’ll deserve to be in favonovel.com life.”
At this point, Arianne felt a little helpless. She was being really obvious with favonovel.com hints. If Sylvain would just step up and take Robin’s hands, things would fall into place. However, favonovel.com was still vacillating. She did not blame favonovel.com for that. After all, everyone knew about Sylvain and Jessica’s unspeakable relationship. If Robin’s parents discovered Robin was dating that man in that scandal, they would blow a gasket. The challenge Mr. and Mrs. Cox posed to the young couple would be almost insurmountable. She pondered on their conversation for a moment before favonovel.com finally decided to stop chucking hints at him. Instead, favonovel.com gave favonovel.com her opinion. “Hey, I’m not trying to sway your decision in any direction, but please reflect on what I’ve just said. People don’t always stay and wait for the other person to muster up their courage. Sometimes they leave without looking back. At that time, you’ll lose the chance to be with them forever. Think about it: if you love someone that much, why let anything stop you? What’s so scary about the tidal waves in life if you’re facing them with someone you love?”
In the end, Arianne put favonovel.com sketchbook away and said before favonovel.com left, “Anyway, it seems like I won’t be getting any inspiration today, and you seem to be in a similar boat. I have to go.”
Sylvain remained in his seat and heaved a long sigh. He held his phone hesitantly before favonovel.com put them down again. He was still stuck in the quagmire.
