Chapter 443
“Flynn, I witnessed your love with Queenie along the way. I’d like to ask you–do you love her? Or do you only feel unreconciled because she chose to end the relationship?
“Are you just unwilling to let go of the memories from those five years? Do you assume you have a deep affection for her? Please answer me. What do you really care about?”
Flynn was stunned for a moment when he heard my question. He leaned against the tree trunk and sank deeply into thinking. He was frozen stiff like a stone.
His despair spread in his eyes until it submerged everything. There was no longer a trace of light.
Before that, he had been used to enjoying Queenie’s deep love and dedication. He never considered their future.
In other words, he never included her in his plans. He had always regarded her as his appendage. Nothing else mattered as long as she was beside him.
He finally realized that Queenie was an independent individual. She was aware of her emotions and thoughts–as well as the pain. He couldn’t bring her back any longer.
“See? You can’t even figure out your feelings. So, how do you make Queenie feel your love, Flynn? Over the last five years, she has been willing to follow you without regrets. She never owed you anything. If there is any debt in this relationship, you’re the one who owes her.
“She has suffered too much for you over the years. You only saw her suffer once. Do you realize how much pain she went through alone? Please put yourself in her shoes. If love only causes her grief, shou
always be in endless darkness. In this case, will she still want this
relationship?
“I believe you love her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been with her for many years. So what? You can’t give her happiness or a home. Why do you want to keep her?
“If she stays by your side, she’ll only become your mistress. Everyone will despise her. You let the one you love be a mistress. Is this how you love her?”
Andrew snorted sullenly and glared at Flynn fiercely. If he could turn his eyes into knives, he would have slashed Flynn to pieces.
As a young man who seemed to have a particularly clingy temperament, he actually had a terrifying aura. When confronted with the cold and aggressive Flynn, he was in no way inferior and even somewhat aloof.

Andrew resembled a protective knight, while Queenie was the princess he would protect
with his entire life.
Flynn became even more gloomy after hearing my words. He stared forward blankly as if hollowed out of his body. Then, he slumped against the tree like, a lifeless vine.
Others would probably pity him after seeing his current appearance. However, every outcome had a cause. He was solely responsible for his current situation and not anyone else. No one could help him. He deserved it.
“But I don’t want to lose her. My biggest wish is to have her by my side and grow old together for the rest of my life. What should I do if she’s gone?”
Flynn clutched his head, groaning in pain. His voice cracked like a dying trapped animal.
Until now, he had never stated that he only wanted Queenie. He didn’t even offer to take her far away as long as she forgave him. If he said so, I assumed she’d be with him regardless of the consequences.
It was a pity that he didn’t say that. Despite his silence, I knew his choice. Between Queenie and his family, he chose the latter.
