Chapter 49
Giselle was silent.
No wonder Hector and Julia had found each other. Both of them were treating the other as a replacement, even though they had no idea that they themselves were also a replacement.
Giselle, who knew the truth, decided to remain silent.
Hector continued, “She has a very similar personality to my first love. However, after spending time with her, I realized that I seem to have fallen for her.“”
He wanted to resolve the weight on his heart, so he had to be honest with Giselle.
Hector had felt embarrassed at first, but now he had come to terms with it.
During all the nights that he had been unable to fall asleep, he had thought through all the possibilities, and the only thing he couldn’t accept was being separated from Julia.
They had an ambiguous relationship, but he was the one who stood to lose.
“If your first love came back right now, would you still choose your current partner?” Giselle fixed her gaze on Hector’s face.
She wouldn’t miss a single change in his expression.
Hector said firmly, “Yes.”
His yearning for his first love was just a fixation from his youth.
He was almost 30 years old, and his family were all urging him to get married, Hector also wanted to settle down.
Julia was his first choice.
Giselle understood.
Hector told her everything that he knew, including the fact that his first love was coming back after completing her studies
abroad. “I’ve already warned everyone in our circle not to run their mouths. What should I do, Ms. Stone? Should I just propose?”
“No,” Giselle said at once.
This time, it was Hector’s turn to be confused.
He shifted in his seat. “Is there a problem with proposing? She dropped me hints previously, but I didn’t think much of it at the
time.”
Giselle asked, “What kind of hints did she drop?”
“She said that she wanted to have a home with the person she loves.”
Hector didn’t know about Julia’s first love, so he had assumed that she meant him.

Giselle was having trouble suppressing herself. She felt like she was looking at a clown when she looked at Hector. “Ahem. Sorry. I
need to go to the restroom.”
She left the room quickly. She had almost lost control of her expression.
What she didn’t know was that as soon as she stepped out of their private dining room, Hector had immediately reported it to

She wiped away the water and left the restroom, only to come across a confession.
“…Chester, I really, really like you. I was going to migrate abroad for you.
“Hic–why can’t you accept me? I’m the only daughter of my family, and I can give you my family fortune. Can’t you be my
boyfriend?
“As long as you marry me, I can keep one eye closed even if you have a mistress….”
It was a shocking statement, and the person being confessed to was someone Giselle knew.

She felt rather awkward. She wanted to act as if she hadn’t seen anything and walked off, but Chester had already rested his
on her.
She didn’t know whether or not she was imagining it, but his suppressed anger seemed to dissipate as soon as he saw her.
Giselle was about to greet him when he walked over and put an arm around her waist.
Giselle was frozen with shock. Chester’s hand was big and cool, but it seemed to burn her through her clothes. She jumped and
turned bright red.
“I’m sorry, but I already have a girlfriend.” Chester’s rich, deep voice rang out beside her ear.
Giselle was so stiff that she didn’t know what to do with her hands. She knew that Chester was using her as a shield. When she thought of how he had helped her in the past, she forced herself to cooperate.
