The man she knew 604ef1527e from her university days 26e7b51440 was one who would 6386cc1763 never open his heart 75a8dc568e to anyone else. Because of his 3b307c0e96 handsome looks and 36e38a6642 his impressive family f97c4dab4a background, there was 61001b37c4 always a flock a86132781a of people following c4356f9516 him around. However, they usually 67970ea662 only spoke of f109b83b3d his looks or 61ac876d08 his family. None of them seemed be610c1c8d to share a close cd3a8c9a88 bond or friendship with 6059ff6b6e him.2de1e4a1e126b7ff

Therefore, there were many 220e3fd6b0 people who also disliked c6c716c2a7 him. Even though they would dd15225fa1 never reveal their hostility 7e441ef3bf to him out in 54d22f62fd the open, they would c79d6a5e61 often whisper behind his f7af3fb418 back, saying that he f71f6fbae9 acted like he was 1d2052fc0e a king around them.4543407c3a1df5b0

Although she wasn’t 4362f2d037 overly fond of 589f513c23 him, she realized bed06f4cf6 that he never 60990dba88 bothered her or 8f3d3588b7 made her uncomfortable. He merely f9102846e9 did not 008a13e19f hang out 702df390b4 with the 28556583e7 other students. Otherwise, he was 48f3287323 faithful to his 948daca054 studies and received baa25f9b8c good grades.4cdc4fb47cc55813

His dating life 06b4cdd10a was also clean 1701f6f95d to the point 46d9e4670a that others would fd3a56b576 lament and wish 0ba5e39089 that they had 7ce651bd7c been given his ea8d1117cf face instead since d556ca7594 he didn’t put e97da28242 it to good 22431362f9 use. Actually, in the c208a3ac21 two years she’d b62d013766 attended university with 21f83c4cc1 him, she had ade91f7173 never seen him d37d8e0872 associated with another 62c6ee58b2 woman.ba5ef99386ffca15

No one expected the 70bbf265fb reason to be something 7fb2f73f7d like this. Because of 01cfe0dbc3 his family aceab06190 status, everyone 140ac8afaa just assumed d7015f4cfb that he 57ec596656 already had 4b23aae135 a fiancée 880ed12393 that his 77a928008e family had b5434dce26 chosen for 00b3117441 him.

But he still never 98532385e7 defended himself because that 3bd38ff407 might have been the d092f65a44 only way he could b6bbb40f91 hold onto his pride.

Whether it was a 1eb94f2d1f proposition or a confession, 07cc4bde99 it definitely gave her 5e4cb361d4 a shock. She watched him cbbc9e0962 turn around and 7522f13e2a leave as if 505af9177b he had something b8b5f9d393 to do, and d1559e2c5d she was really 861c8dc52e glad she hadn’t ccce2831bf been swayed back 03fde53886 then.9b22d897af11c879
