NovelApexChapter 1826:
Peyton gave her a gentle nudge forward. “Don’t just stand there motionless. Go.”
Aileen followed Clive to a secluded corner in a dreamlike state, her movements mechanical.
“What did you wish to talk about?” Clive inquired directly.
Shyness overtook Aileen as she gathered her courage before asking softly, “That woman sitting beside you
earlier—is she your girlfriend?”
“No,” Clive clarified, “she’s my sister.”
“Is there someone who holds your affection?” Aileen ventured further.
“There is,” Clive admitted, taking a slow sip of his drink, a subtle smile playing on his lips. “Though I likely stand
no chance of being with her. And for your information, you aren’t my type.”
A twinge of hurt flashed across her features, but Aileen pressed onward. “Then why not pursue the person who
captivates you?”
Clive answered philosophically, “Life’s entrances are all about timing. Those who arrive later never even enter
the competition.”
Curiosity sparked in Aileen’s eyes. “What qualities draw you to her? Or rather, what kind of woman appeals to

A vision materialized in Clive’s mind. After a contemplative silence, he spoke with poetic reverence. “Her hair
flows like silk, sunlight casting a radiant glow around each strand.”
“Her smile radiates gentleness, and when her eyes meet mine, | feel a profound healing. And her violin playing—
it’s absolutely magnificent. Every note she produces resonates within my soul, movingbeyond words.”
Aileen listened intently as Clive described his feelings, a trace of surprise crossing her face. She inquired, “You're
really in love with her. Are you planning to tell her your feelings?”

Clive grew silent, absorbing her question. He took a moment, then slowly nodded, admitting, “I've told her
already, but it seems she hasn't grasped it. Besides, the nature of our relationship adds layers of complexity.”
Aileen, feeling a tad awkward, scratched her head. It was unexpected for her to see someone as charismatic as
Clive grappling with love's challenges. She offered, “Well, | hope it all works out for you. Maybe someday she’ll
see your true feelings.”
Clive looked up, his eyes meeting hers. “She’s married.”
Aileen realized she might have misspoken and touched her nose, saying, “Oh, | might have jumped the gun
there.”
Clive let out a light chuckle and shifted the topic. “Speaking of matches, your engagement to Peyton seems well
thought out. His personality may have its quirks, but he’s got a big heart and takes responsibility like no other.
You've made a good choice.”
