FakeNovelChapter 281
| wasn't just flattering myself. | truly felt that Lina's caption was about me.
| couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. If Lina had lovedback when | was head over heels for her, we
would probably be that enviable couple. | would've given her the best of everything, and she would've made me
the happiest person alive.
However, life had its ironies. When she started to regret it, my heart already belonged to Felicia. Thinking about
Felicia now only madefeel even sadder.
Just as | was lost in thought, the door to the room across fromsuddenly opened a crack. Then, a young girl
peeked her head out. She looked to be about six or seven years old.
After glancing around, she finally locked eyes with me. | smiled at her, but she immediately frowned and
slammed the door shut.
This madefreeze in place. Reflexively, | touched my face, wondering if | somehow looked that scary.

Just then, Lynn said, "I've got the room all set up for you, William. Please take a look and see if it suits you. If
there's anything you're not happy with, | can fix it for you."
| couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm just crashing here for the night. So, I'm not looking for anything fancy. As long as
there's a bed to sleep in, I'm good."
"You're my guest. | won't let you be uncomfortable. Oh, I just realized | haven't offered you any water. Letget
that for you," Lynn said while slapping her forehead. However, the pain from her wound made her instinctively
wince.
| couldn't help but laugh at her.
When we first met, | thought she was just an irrational woman. But over time, | realized she was smart and
capable. She always handled things well, and my opinion of her improved a lot.
But now, | saw a whole new side of her. She was clumsy, slow to react, and stubborn.
People really shouldn't be judged too quickly. After all, we were all complicated beings.
When she handedthe glass of water, the door to the room across from us cracked open again. The young girl
peeked her head out, glancing around once more. As soon as our eyes met, she slammed the door shut like
before.
Lynn flashedan awkward smile. "That's my daughter. She's a bit shy, so she's
afraid of meeting strangers. I'm sorry if she's made you feel uncomfortable."
I replied, "It's fine. If she's scared, I'll return to my room and rest. I'm a bit tired
myself, so I'll just take this glass of water to my room and drink it there."
It was getting pretty late, and | didn't want to keep chatting with Lynn. After all, we didn't know each other well,
and there wasn't much to talk about anyway. So, | took that glass of water and entered the guest room.
As | lay on the bed, | drifted off into my thoughts. That day's events really leftfeeling emotional. At the same
time, | beceven more confident about my decision to play the role of a loser.

really didn't want to have anything to do with them.
After removing my shoes, | slipped into my house slippers and stepped outside. At first, | planned to have Lynn
showwhere the bathroom was.
But then, | noticed a room with the door ajar. The light was on, and | could see a mirror and a sink inside | figured
that must it be the
bathroom. Since it looked empel.n
simply walked in without a second thought.
| was planning to run swater for a shower and then get a good night's sleep.
But as soon as | opened the door, | quickly stepped back.
Damn it! | didn't expect Lynn to be in there!
At that moment, she was wrapped in nothing but a short towel, drying her hair.
