“You saw right through me, didn’t you?” Miles sounded a little helpless.
“I saw it ages ago,” Julian said with a lazy smile. “You’ve been harboring these feelings for years. Why didn’t you try harder back then? If you had made the first move, she would already be my sister–in–law.”
Miles offered a bitter smile. “I never had a chance. The person she liked.. had always been Finnian.”
“Wait, what?” Julian looked stunned, hearing this for the first time. “Are you saying Kaia married him out of love?”
Miles nodded, a melancholic look in his eyes. “I only found out by chance when ! overheard Professor Chavez talking to Jane on the phone. Kaia had a crush on Finnian for two years. She finally got the chance to marry him because of a project. How was I supposed to make the first move? I wasn’t about to force her into anything.”
Julian stared at the floor thoughtfully before looking up. “No way. Finnian always claimed Kaia married him før fame and fortune. I’ve never heard him mention that she loved him.”
A trace of pain and heartache flashed across Miles’s face. “Kaia is reserved. She probably didn’t want Finnian to look down on her during their marriage, so she never dared to confess her true feelings.”
Julian suddenly burst into laughter. “So Finnian was kept in the dark for seven years?”
“What did you mean earlier when you said Finnian didn’t deserve Kaia?” Miles frowned. “Weren’t you two always best friends?”
“Don’t even mention it. He’s not worth it.” Julian’s expression darkened at the topic.
“What happened?” Miles looked at his cousin with concern, knowing Julian had secretly harbored feelings for Noelle Lawrence for years but
never dared to confess, choosing to protect her from afar instead.

Julian scoffed, feeling a wave of embarrassment. “Forget it. It’s not worth talking about.”
Julian, do you like Noelle? Her husband has been gone for almost a year now, and the mourning period is over. If you like her, you should confess. Don’t leave yourself with any regrets,” Miles advised softly.
“She doesn’t like me. Confessing would just bring me humiliation. And now that Finnian and Kaia are divorced, I have even less of a chance,” Julian said, looking defeated.
