Chapter 362 Forced To Make Hard Choices

Two days after Ethan acquired the “good luck” charm from Vincent, he invited Chloe to talk privately with him.

He already told Luna what he planned to tell Chloe, so the young lady was waiting outside of the tree house with an anxious look on her face.

Truth be told, he didn’t want his best friend and his lover to distance themselves from each other. But Ethan insisted that, even if it would hurt him, he must go through with the discussion in order to prevent him and Chloe from being seriously heartbroken

Nearly half an hour after Chloe entered the Tree House, the door finally opened, and a young lady with long brown hair emerged from it with moist eyes.

Tear stains could be seen on the sides of her face, and her eyes were red from crying.

Seeing her best friend in this state, Luna wasn’t able to hold it in and gave her a hug. Chloe didn’t resist and also hugged Luna back.

A few minutes later, Chloe calmed down. The two girls walked away from the tree house hand in hand and looked for a place where the two of them could talk in private.

Ethan, who was still inside the tree house, was leaning back against the couch with his eyes closed.

Like Chloe, he also had tear stains on his cheeks, signifying that he had also cried during his talk with his cousin and childhood friend.

He didn’t expect that he would feel this hurt after telling her that the two of them should spend some time away from each other so that they could better understand their feelings.

Ethan firmly told Chloe that he didn’t plan to change himself for her sake because he could not turn back time.

Chloe understood this as well, which was why she hugged him and cried on his chest for nearly half an hour before leaving.

She had accepted long ago that it was indeed too late to revert things to how it once was and that there was nothing either of them could do about it.

She loved Ethan—at least, this was what she had believed for a long time. However, she was also a greedy person and didn’t want to share him with anyone, with the exception of her best friend, Luna.

Unlike the daughters born from Noble Families, who got used to Polygamy as a way of life, Chloe was unable to accept it. She was raised with love and care in a monogamous family, so she found it hard to change her views.

With a few waves of his wand, the Flying Ship, which they had used to travel to Nightfall Academy a few months ago, slowly ascended to the sky and headed Southeast.

Even though they were high up in the air and moving quite fast, the wind that blew across the deck of the ship wasn’t that strong due to the Air Resistance Spell that Professor Barret had cast earlier.

Ethan watched as the scenery gradually changed.

They flew over towns, villages, forests, lakes, and wild expanses of land that stretched for miles.

Although only a little, it helped clear Ethan’s thoughts after his talk with Chloe.

‘She’s going to sleep with Luna tonight,’ Ethan thought. ‘I hope that she will feel better with her company.’

Ethan had always taken Chloe’s company and love for granted because he believed that the two of them being together was a very normal thing.

The two of them had been inseparable as kids, and when they became teenagers, he had also planned to confess his feelings to her.

And that was what he did.

But circumstances forced the two of them to make hard choices.

Choices he never thought that he would have to make, especially with matters concerning love.

Professor Barret, who had finished setting the spell that would allow the Flying Ship to fly autonomously toward their destination, walked toward Ethan in order to strike up a conversation.

A mischievous smile could be seen on his face because, by the time they returned to the academy, Ethan would find a big surprise waiting for him.

As to what that surprise was, the Professor didn’t plan to say.

After all, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he knew what awaited him at Brynhildr Academy.
