I bit my lip and agreed through gritted teeth. "I won't disappoint you this time."
Looking back now, I realized that my relationship with Edgar had always been doomed.
I was a top student exempted from tuition fees because of my academic excellence, while he was the wealthy heir whose family had donated a building to the school.
Our worlds could not have been more different, and we had no reason to cross paths.
Until one day, Edgar approached me and offered to pay me to tutor him.
I thought he was joking, but after that, he changed. He started paying attention in class and studying hard.
When I asked him why had changed dramatically, he said, "I don't want to disappoint you."
The summer breeze tousled his hair and, in doing so, stirred my heart.
And so, Edgar and I gradually grew closer.
We studied together, did homework together, and made plans for the future together.
The Mckay family looked down on me because of my humble background, and they never liked our frail children either.
Around that time, Edgar's company ran into trouble.
To prove my love to him, I handed over the patent for the special heart medication that my team and I had developed.
