Chapter 194: Can We Be Good Friends?
As the daughter of the Lim family in the city, she was incomparably happy and at the same time longed for her own love.
That year, in spring.
She followed her parents and arrived at the ancestral mansion of the Foster family as a guest.
She slipped quietly into the house and saw a scene that would stay with her for the rest of her life.
She saw a young man sitting quietly in a wheelchair.
sed in white clothes and black pants, his face was calm.
His snow–white shirt was spotless, and his handsome and deep features were like the work of God.
He was sitting in the shade of a tree, and the brilliant sunlight shone on the teenager through the gaps in the leaves.
On his shirt, between his features, there was an amazing halo of light.
In the play of light and shadow, he was beautiful as an angel.
Cecilia looked straight at him, unable to take her eyes off him for long.
Perhaps it was love at first sight.
Later, she heard the maid call him Max, the fourth child of the Foster family.
Shouldn’t the fourth child be a double–legged, ugly–looking cripple?
But the boy in front of her was completely different from the rumors.
He was clearly so beautiful.
Cecilia looked for a long time.
Until she saw the teenager letting the servant push his wheelchair.
She realized the teenager was leaving.
In a moment, she did not know where she got the courage from, and suddenly she came out of the corner and rushed to the teenager’s face.
“Here… here you go…” Cecilia panted as she looked at Max with a soft warmth in her eyes.
She handed the teenager a strawberry–flavored candy, her eyes looking at him sincerely.
The teenager’s eyes looked at her coldly, his face was still.
He moved slowly and did not take the candy Cecilia gave him.
Seeing him like this, she became afraid, so she pushed the candy into the teenager’s hand.
Then she shyly ran away.
On the way, her heartbeat was like a drum.
Later, the day after she returned home.
Mom’told her that a young man from the Foster family fell in love with her at first sight, and went to ask Master Foster to marry her…
Her mother asked her what she thought.
Cecilia was surprised and delighted by what she heard.

A young man from the Foster family?
In Cecília’s mind, the figure of the young man he met immediately appeared.
Apart from him, she had never seen another man before.
Could it be that Max was also…
The happiest thing in the world was when you liked someone and suddenly realized that they liked you too…
Cecilia nodded without hesitation.
She agreed to marry into the Foster family.
the day that the Foster family and the Lim family planned to sign the marriage contract, Cecilia wore an incomparable fairy–like dress.
She was very excited to see this person.
Just the thought of Max liking her made her feel like she was dreaming. It was too good to be true.
But in the halls of the Foster family, the person waiting for her was not Max, but his big brother Calvin!
The young man from the Foster family who had fallen in love with her at first sight was actually Calvin!
Calvin told her that that day, as he was walking to the mansion, he happened to see her flying by with red cheeks.
At that moment, he thought she was so beautiful.
He wanted to talk to her, but she ran so fast she did not give him a chance.
Cecilia finally realized that as she was shyly running away from Max-
Calvin bumped into her.
All this was like an accident.
She wanted to run away, wanted to refuse.
She did not want to be with Calvin, let alone be engaged to him.
Bit her parents wouldn’t give her a chance.
They warned her that it was her own personal promise and that it was absolutely impossible for her to go back on it now.
Cecilia heard this and almost burst into tears.
She clearly liked Max!
Unfortunately, the misunderstanding had already occurred and she couldn’t go back on her words.
The engagement was thus concluded.
Later, Cecilia had been nonchalant and reluctant in front of Calvin.
Calvin also had trouble with her, but Cecilia remained the same.
Until…
The Lim family had an economic crisis and almost went bankrupt.
Calvin told her that if she wanted the Lim family to come back from bankruptcy, she should be his girlfriend and marry him.
There should be no more ignoring him like before, and she should treat him like a real boyfriend.
Her parents begged her to agree to Calvin’s request, putting all the hopes and burdens of the Lim family on her shoulders.

She had no choice but to comply.
She began to please Calvin, and her attitude toward him began to change, because she did not want to get married, she desperately convinced him that they should try to practice being married first.
During these years of entanglement with Calvin, she saw Max only once.
It was the day he left the Foster family and moved to Greenside Garden.
She secretly ran to see him off, and the moment he was about to leave, she rushed to him and told him to take care of himself.
The silent and cold young man saw her and gave her a rare nod.
That was it, the only two times Cecilia and Max crossed paths.
She did not know what Max thought, but she knew that she had always been deeply in love with him.
But at that time, he was already someone else’s husband.
If she had been braver back then and pursued him despite everything, would the outcome have been different?
“You…” Cecilia suddenly clenched her fingers, her palms full of cold sweat.
She wanted to ask Max what exactly she was to him…
Just a passerby who passed by twice in his life, or someone special.
But when the words came to her mouth, she seemed to be choked, unable to speak.
Because she was afraid to hear the answer that would break her heart.
“You…” Cecilia hesitated for a long time, then suddenly changed her words and asked, “Can we be good friends?
Max’s face fell when he heard this.
His eyes were cold and deep as he stared at Cecilia, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
“I cart.”
With almost no hesitation, he spoke weakly.
For Max, Cecilia was indeed a special person.
In his grayest and most painful years, she had once given him a piece of candy.
This was also the reason why he was willing to agree to Cecilia’s request to meet with her in private.
But that was all.
He had no other feelings towards Cecilia, and since she was Calvin’s fiancée, he did not really want to cross paths with her too often.
Besides, at the birthday dinner today, he could feel Cecilia’s hostility towards Charlotte, if anything.
Therefore, there was no possibility of him and her becoming friends.
Therefore, he told her that this would be the last time they would meet in private.
The word “can’t” was like bad news that fell heavily on Cecilia’s ears.
Her eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted.
Seeing that she had not said anything for a long time, Max guessed that the time was almost up, and if he continued to waste time, he feared that Charlotte would be looking for him.
“I have to go,” The man said coldly, then pushed his wheelchair and left through another side door of the tearoom.

Only Cecilia was left alone where she was.
She clenched her fists, and her eyes suddenly crystallized tears, as if they were about to burst from her eyes.
Outside the tearoom.
Charlotte approached slowly.
She frowned and her eyes were complex.
