Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 152

Chapter 33 The love letters described how, when he was being bullied, I—a student council president at the time-happened to pass by and helped him out.

From that moment, the chubby boy experienced his first crush.

He wrote that I was the only girl who didn't look down on him, who treated him with care and even protected him like I had some special regard for him.

Though he knew I might have been acting out of responsibility as part of the student council, he couldn't help but like me.

He vowed in his letter to lose weight for me, asking me to wait for him.

But sadly, this letter was never delivered.

She whipped out her phone, scrolling through her gallery, only to be cut off by a suddenly mortified Callan.
