Chapter 932
Cece and Jennifer looked at Vicky in surprise. "Vicky, you're awake?"
Vicky had actually woken up earlier when Jennifer returned, but she did not want to open her eyes or move.
Hearing Cece and Jennifer talking about obsession, Vicky could not help but speak up. "So, obsession... It's not really
genuine affection, is it?"
Cece did not have much experience with relationships, so she did not have much to say. Jennifer, who was only a
year younger than Vicky, had experienced no less than Vicky over the years.
Seeing Vicky's interest in the topic, Jennifer spoke up, "Anthony’s mother told me that most obsessions aren't from
true emotions, but rather a person's deeply ingrained principles. Some people have a strong obsession with certain
things, which may be due to experiencing something profound that contradicts their beliefs."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJennifer considered what she said for a moment and continued, "Let's look at Anthony as an example. After
entrusting the family business to Anthony, Anthony's father took Anthony's mother to travel the world. Anthony may
come from a happy family, but he has always felt lonely... Due to the influence of his family, he was told that true
love meant selflessly sacrificing oneself and being willing to risk everything for the other person. He yearns for
someone who, like his parents, would put everything aside for each other, even their own children... Lily happened
to appear in his life at that time and saved him without asking for anything in return... I can only imagine how much
that affected him."
Jennifer paused for a moment. "His feelings for Lily weren't simply because he liked her, but because that was what
he felt like he needed in a relationship."
Love was never an equation with a precise formula and never had the right standard answer. It was not certain if
what Anthony wanted was truly what he needed.
"Is that so?" Vicky seemed to come to a realization. "So, because some people have never been cared for properly,
they might develop an obsession for the person who shows up one day and sweeps them off their feet... Is that
right?"
Cece pondered thoughtfully. "That sounds like when a baby animal imprints on the first thing they see. The first one
that appears will always be the most special."
Jennifer added, "In fact, everyone has some degree of obsession, including myself. Looking back now, I can
definitely admit how foolish I was. Whenever I got into fights with Lily, he would always side with her... When I tried
to pull away, he would reel me back and whisper sweet nothings to me and make my hope in us skyrocket. In the
past, I would willingly allow myself to be used by him; I was even fine being the camouflage for his relationship with
Lily. Now that I've had my moment of clarity and find this relationship to be utterly meaningless, my life has
significantly improved." Jennifer smiled sweetly, revealing two adorable dimples on her cheeks. "I can't say that I've
completely let go, but at least I've salvaged some of my pride. Come to think of it, the relationship between
Anthony and I is kind of like those stories I've read that Cece introduced me to... Something about a player and a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwoman who has no respect for herself." She glanced at Cece. "That sums it up, right?"
Cece nodded. "Yeah."
Vicky reconsidered her relationship with Tyler and according to what she remembered from their past, that seemed
to sum up her relationship with Tyler as well.
'Has Tyler finally come to his senses as well? Did he fight his stubbornness to realize that he can do better than me?
Was he obsessed with me
because I was the first one to show any affection toward him? Is there a possibility that what he felt toward me...
isn't love, after all?' She thought, feeling extremely confused by all this.
Jennifer instantly spotted the panicked look on Vicky's face and changed the subject. "Vicky, it's been so long since
we had a gathering. It's been ages since we’ve been to a bar together! Let's get drunk tonight!"
Vicky's lethargic mood turned horrendous as she nodded in agreement." Sure.
