Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 161

"In the past, if someone were to ruin your reputation, you would've definitely fought back!"

Recalling the past, Victoria's mind was still stuck at the time when Alicia cared a lot about herself. To Victoria, Alicia was the perfect princess in fairy tales. She loved herself a lot and she would always make sure that everything she did was perfect.

"Yes, I used to care a lot about it."

She didn't like people judging her as if she was a promiscuous girl. She also hated the others who would regard her as a player, an ill-tempered girl, and someone who could never become a good wife based on her appearance.

All because she longed for love, so very deeply. She wanted a perfect love but yet she wanted to hold on to her self-esteem as well.

With a faint smile, Alicia poured some water for Victoria.

"People change. Now, there are some things that I finally understand. If I always want to prove myself based on other's words, just imagine how tired my life would be. Those who believe in me wouldn't need my clarification, and those who don't believe in me wouldn't trust my words no matter how much I try to explain myself."

Self-esteem really was nothing of worth when one was so poor that they had to worry about making it to the next day.

If in the past three years, she still had the attitude of being the high- and- mighty Miss Blanchard of the Blanchard family, she would never have let go of her self-esteem. She would've starved to death if she still cared about how others looked at her and judged her as well as if she was picky about her job.

"Ally, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly feel so down? Is there something wrong? If you're in trouble, just tell me. You're not-¹'

Something was definitely wrong! Ally looked so lifeless as if she lost the meaning of life.

"Ally, there is no problem that can't be solved. There are still a lot of people who don't have enough to even put food on the table. Compared with them, we are considered lucky and happy. Don't you overthink it!"

Alicia tried to force a weak smile but in the end, she couldn't. Finally, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Vicki, I seem to have made the same mistake. I think I have fallen in love with... him! But, he... may soon abandon me!"

As soon as Alicia thought of this, she couldn't hold herself back any longer. Tears started rolling down her face.

In the past few years, she had suppressed everything in her heart. She had to bear it alone as she had no one to talk to. Suddenly, there was a friend who cared a lot about her. Thus, she opened up and all the emotions flooded out. Alicia couldn't stop it.

No matter how strong she was or how hard she tried, she was still like a weak little girl, who was eager to be loved and to be protected!

Handing over the tissue, Victoria was shocked.

"Hey, don't cry! Ally, the world is full of handsome men! Why would you be in love with an old b*stard? Old men are sc*mbags who cheat and lie to girls!"

"Don't be sad. I'm telling you, in fact, you don't like him at all. You're just too tired and you were too starved for love and dependency! If a person suddenly comes out and helps you, you'll regard gratitude as love!"

"Hey, what's so good about this uncle? Most of them are impotent and some of them even need Viagra in bed! They can't even last or satisfy your sexual needs. Plus, in the end, you would have to stay with them until they are even older and eventually die. Are you stupid? You can't even bring him out or stay at home, therefore it's not worth it, right?"
