Chapter 17: Seize The Opportunity
Michelle's jaw dropped open in shock.She instantly stood straight and looked into Linda's eyes.
"You...What are you talking about? How did you marry Cecil Bo?"
"It's a long story.Let's find a place to eat first, we can talk there,"
Linda urged, pulling Michelle down the street.
"I can't believe you hid such an exciting news from me! You have to tell me everything," Michelle said, giving her a pointed look.
After walking down the street for a few minutes, the two of them finally walked into an ordinary restaurant that they could afford to eat in.
After settling down, Linda told Michelle the story of how she had married Cecil from beginning to end, including the part about her reunion with her biological parents.
Michelle obediently listened to the whole story in silence before looking at Linda in disbelief.
"So...Not only are you the long-lost daughter of the Ye family, but now, you are Cecil Bo's wife?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Linda pressed her lips into a tight line and shook her head.
"He doesn't think of me as his wife.And I'm not really his wife on paper, either."
Michelle smiled and looked at Linda excitedly.
"Does it matter?"
"What do you mean?"
"Now that you live in the same house as him, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity!"
Linda tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and shook her head slightly.
"He loves Leona.He still wants her back.I don't mean to take her place."
Michelle fixed her eyes on Linda without blinking, as if she wanted to see right through her.
Linda frowned and shifted uncomfortably under her gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that without eating anything?"
"Linda, do you like him?" Michelle asked directly, leaning forward.
Linda tightened her grip on the chopsticks.
Although Michelle was her only good friend in Los University, she had never told her about her love for Cecil, because she was not the kind of person who was willing to share everything with others.
All these years, her love had been a secret...until Cecil found out.
And now, it seemed that Michelle had found out, too.
Undeterred by Linda's silence, Michelle continued, "I know you.You always consider other people's feelings in times of trouble, but you have your own opinions, too.Even if you wanted to help your family, there must be a reason why you were willing to take your sister's place.You have feelings for Cecil, don't you?"
Linda felt like an open book.
Pursing her lips, she looked up at Michelle and nodded.
"Yes, I do."
Michelle stood from her seat with a gasp and scooted over next to Linda.
She held Linda's hand and said, "Linda, whatever the situation is, you've married the man that you like, so you should now seize the opportunity to make him fall in love with you."
Linda laughed and shook her head.
"I'm not that charming."
Michelle tilted her head thoughtfully.
"Look, you said that Leona is your twin sister, right? Cecil Bo only found out that you're not her because you don't have a mole on the back of your ear, which means that you look identical to her in all other aspects.If he's still so bent on getting Leona back, it must mean that he likes her for her personality.But since you're the one living with him, you should take advantage of this chance to make him fall in love with you.Then, even if Leona returns one day, he might realize that the woman he wants is not her, but you."
Linda rolled her eyes and continued to dig in to her meal.
However, Michelle shook her shoulder to get her attention and pressed on.
"Linda, do you know something? I've been in love with Albert for many years.During that time, the woman by his side has kept changing, but I've never been one of them.I wish I could have the chance to even spend a few minutes with him.You're lucky enough to live in the same house as the person you like, so you should take the initiative.Trust me, there's no bigger advantage."
