Chapter 12 My Little Bear God
Before leaving, I met Patton one last time.
We agreed to meet at the school’s café, where we could see students running freely on the playground.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Patton still had that carefree smile on his face. I knew his family was well-off, so I personally made a Christmas gift for him.
I gestured for him to open it, and inside was a bow tie I designed.
“Wow! You’re really talented!”
Patton took it out and immediately tied it around his neck, pairing it with a T-shirt, which made me burst into laughter.
“Patton, thank you.”
“Why do you always say thank you?”
The way he looked at me was similar to how I used to look at Ashburn.
So, what he meant, no one understood better than I did.
“Patton, I don’t want to hold you back, string you along. I can’t accept someone else’s love right now.”
“Do you understand?”
I tried to express it gently, not wanting to hurt the feelings of this infatuated boy.
Patton felt a moment of melancholy but quickly snapped out of it.
If I were half as free and easy as he is, I wouldn’t be in this mess today.
“If I wait for you, maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Who knows.”
I smiled. Yes, who knows about the things in life.
I bid him farewell, hoping he would encounter someone better in the future.
