213 Yve, What should I do? 3 (1/2)
”Yve, tell me. What should I do?” Nyelle asked her friend.
”What do you feel about him now?” Yve asked her back.
”It never changed. Instead, it became deeper. I felt that I'm….”
”in love with him.” Nyelle said the last phrase lower than usual.
”So what's with the indecisive attitude?”Yve asked.
”I'm afraid. He has been through a lot and seeing you and Vince, I know the road ahead will be tough.” Nyelle said.
”You were also through a lot. Please, don't compare our hardship with yours. It's just a possibility.”
”…” Nyelle didn't say anything as she was trying to think of the words which might win against Yve's argument.
Knowing that she has the upper hand in this debate, Yve continued to push through. ”Would you let a mere possibility affect your decisions in the present? As well as confirm the real truth at the moment?”
”…” Still no words from Nyelle.
”I will not push you any further. I know this is not the advice you were expecting from me.” Yve said.
”This is something that can't be dealt with thinking it logically. You need to think well considering what you really wish to accomplish.”
”Yve…”
”Just keep in mind that I will be here to support your decision – whether you plan on staying away from him or accepting his feelings and pursuing a relationship with him.” Yve said.
”So for now, we should enjoy the things around us. How about after this drink, let's shop around?” Yve asked her.
”Is there anything you wish to buy?”
”Hmmm nothing in particular. But maybe you will encounter something for yourself?” Yve replied and ate her donut while drinking her frappe casually.
”Yve, will it possible for me to live outside the base now? Airis is not in the status to do anything harmful to me, right?” Nyelle asked.
”Does it have something to do with Edward?”
”No! I just don't feel the need to be sheltered anymore.”
”Hmm… I know what you mean. I will ask Vince if that will be okay. But you have to do the explaining to Edward yourself. He might take it negatively.” Yve expressed her thoughts well.
As soon as they have consumed their food, they went to the mall and explored the things around them.
Chrysthe thought it would be a big problem and thankfully, the agents Slayne assigned were of great skills. They were able to change their disguises into people who can freely roam around the mall.
Meanwhile, Edward is currently bothered while they are talking to their new client. Vince noticed this and instantly took the initiative to lead the talk. When it was finished, they all went to their respective ways. Inside the car, Vince asked,
”What bothering you, Edward?”
”Nothing. I'm sorry about being useless tonight. I will be fine by tomorrow, Bro.”
”I know you will. In the meantime, why don't you go and fetch Nyelle while I will fetch my wife?” Vince suggested.
”That won't be necessary. Yve said that she will drop Nyelle on her way home.”
”Hmm…. I see.” Vince said and pulled out his phone.
He sends a message to his wife, saying
”Edward seemed lost after dropping your best friend. Is anything wrong?”
