NovelStartChapter 1367: Loving Very Cautiously "You own it?" Belinda looked at her and laughed angrily. "How can you own it? You're already in so deep before you're even married? What if you have a child after marriage? How can you get away unscathed if you're hurt? Do you think it's easy to be a single mother?" "Mom!" Monica was unhappy and a bit emotional after hearing this. "Why do you always think of the worst? Can't you just hope for the best for me? My relationship hasn't even started yet, and you're talking about divorce before we're even married?" "Do you plan to only date and not get married?" Belinda asked. "Or do you want to get married, but he doesn't plan to marry you? You're not teenagers anymore, you're adults. Aren't you heading towards marriage?" "Because | know better than you what marriage truly is! What it can bring to a woman!" Belinda's emotions were all over the place.
"How much did | love your father back then? | would have given my life for him, but he took it for granted!" "I am me, and you are you. Our lives can't be mixed together!" Monica kept rebutting. "I'm not a casualty of your war with my dad! If Tristan hadn't been introduced by my dad, you would have agreed! You were clearly satisfied with him! You've been checking his background these days!"

"Love isn't about making choices, it's not about picking one or the other. Love is about following your initial feelings!" The girl spoke firmly.

Back in her room, Monica locked the door and sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart sour.
She liked Tristan, liked him very, very much-a feeling only she knew.
But she and Tristan were just ordinary friends.
She was willing to start as friends with him, no matter how cold he was, she was willing to take the initiative to approach him, to love him, to protect him.
After all, he didn't have a girlfriend.
Thinking about the dinner Tristan had arranged for her tonight, and the words he had said, her heart warmed up again, giving her a sense of being in love.
Arguing with her mother, she felt wronged, and couldn't help but think of him.
She opened his Facebook profile on her phone, not intending to send him a message, assuming he'd be busy.
She checked his stories, although they were mostly just occasional official links, no personal shares or selfies.

Her love was always so cautious, afraid to involve him, disturb him, or ruin their hard-earned friendship.
At night, Kevin was still working overtat the company, and Tristan had also gone to the office.
