Love Beyond Reach novel Chapter 14

After learning that Saoirse had already arrived in Flenca, Julian booked the next available flight to Poralis without a second thought.

During the long hours on the plane, his mind was a whirlwind, replaying the events of the past few years.

In his heart, Georgina had always been the one and only. He couldn't let go of her even though she had gone abroad. He continued to regret not confessing his feelings.

He couldn't move on from her, yet he couldn't confess either, so he endured the torment of longing day by day.

Those around him advised him to move on, suggesting that maybe starting a new relationship might help him get over it.

After persistent encouragement from friends, Julian began to waver. He finally decided to give it a try.

Thus, when Saoirse confessed for the 23rd time, he agreed to be her boyfriend.

The reason he chose her was simply because of her overwhelming enthusiasm, persistence, and affection for him.

In her, he saw a reflection of his own pursuit of Georgina.

This relationship was initially nothing more than a form of self-pity.

Julian didn't really like Saoirse; he knew it, and so did she. However, they both tacitly avoided this issue and became a couple for three years.

In the first two years, although they would occasionally go on dates like any other couple, Julian never truly held her in his heart. It was only when they decided to move in together for convenience during their senior year that their relationship made substantial progress.

After spending time together every day and night, he began to be attracted to Saoirse. He started to try to accept her affection and the relationship.

It was when Georgina returned to the country that Julian's wavering heart stirred again.
