Stolen love: In love with my sister 's fiance-Chapter 32: she didn’t deserve him

Adrian walked Elaine to her classroom, his usual calm expression unfazed by the lingering stares around them. As he turned to leave, he noticed how people looked at him differently—some in disbelief, others in curiosity.

Mary and Ryan exchanged teasing glances before Ryan leaned in with a smirk. "Well, well, never thought I'd see the day. Adrian, the cold and distant guy, actually proposing in front of the whole college?"

Mary giggled, nudging Elaine. "And not just anyone—our Elaine! Seriously, Adrian, are you sure you're not under a love spell?"

Adrian chuckled, shaking his head. "People are too dramatic."

But the whispers around the campus told a different story. Students were still buzzing about the unexpected proposal, shocked that the usually indifferent Adrian was not only capable of love but had publicly declared it.

Elaine, still processing everything, sighed as she sat down. She could feel the weight of everyone's stares. "Guess I just became the most talked-about person again," she muttered.

Adrian glanced at her before walking away, his voice light but meaningful. "Let them talk. We know the truth."

And with that, he disappeared down the hallway, leaving Elaine to face the storm of attention once again.

Mary leaned closer, a mischievous grin on her face. "I never thought you two were being this sneaky, Elaine! You never told me anything. So... have you finally forgotten about Alex?" she asked, her voice laced with excitement.

Elaine hesitated, gripping the edges of her notebook. She didn't know whether to tell Mary the truth or not. If anyone could understand her, it was Mary. But against it, only a few people knew the real situation, and maybe it was best to keep it that way.

She forced a small smile, trying to sound casual. "It's not that simple, Mary."

Mary narrowed her eyes, studying Elaine carefully. "Hmm, that doesn't sound like a yes. But fine, I won't push... for now." She smirked. "Just know that if Adrian makes a move, I fully support it."

Elaine let out a small laugh, shaking her head, but deep down, her heart was in turmoil. Forgetting Alex? That was easier said than done.

As Mary continued to chatter, Elaine's thoughts drifted elsewhere—toward Adrian.

Why can't I fall for someone like him? she wondered, feeling a pang of guilt in her chest.

Adrian was everything a person could ask for—kind, reliable, and always there for her. He carried the weight of so many things on his shoulders, yet he still managed to smile for her. She never imagined that the distant, serious Adrian—the one who rarely let anyone in—would fall for her.

And yet, here he was, willing to stand by her side, even if it meant hurting himself.

She felt bad for him. He deserved someone who could love him back, not someone like her, who was still trapped in the past. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized...

Maybe, just maybe, she was the one who didn't deserve him.
