Chapter 651 Need Your Help Finding Someone

After everything that had just happened, Tilda could see clearly the mutual feelings between Una and Alfic.
She knew Una well. Even if she sometimes seemed a bit scattered, when Una has feelings for someone, she never gives up and would never betray them.
A person like that, once in love, was devoted for life–there was no turning back.
Tilda’s biggest concern was Alfie’s commitment.
If he couldn’t promise Una a future filled with happiness, he shouldn’t have gotten involved at all. Otherwise, he would only bring her heartache.
Soon, Alfie replied.
“I’m serious, Tilda. Since you’re Una’s best friend, witness my feelings for her. If I ever betray her, kill me–I won’t hold it against you.”
“Then be prepared. I’ll be watching. A lifetime is long, and I hope you never regret your decision today.”
Alfie answered instantly. “I won’t. Promise!”
After sending the message, Alfie glanced at Una, whom he’d dragged to the bathroom and was now grumbling nonstop while washing his suit. A small smile tugged at his lips.
If he missed this chance, he knew he would never meet another woman who made his heart race like Una did.
What was it about her? Even he couldn’t explain.
Countless women were more beautiful, had better figures, higher education, or more impressive family backgrounds–but Alfie had never cared about any of them.
Yet he was inexplicably drawn to this young woman.
Somehow, his feelings had taken root, impossible to remove.
Once in love, he realized there was no cure.
When he had been confused, Alfie had once asked Jude the same question.
Back then, Tilda had nothing. She had cut ties with the Jensons. No one knew she existed, and nobody understood her background.

Why would a man like Jude–cold, almost incapable of understanding “love“-care so deeply
about Tilda?
Jude’s answer had stayed with Alfie.
“Love is love. If your heart feels it, why worry about the reason? All that matters is whether this is a woman you’re willing to protect for your entire life.”
At the time, Jude’s words had made Maurice–who had never known the feeling of loving someone–burn with envy.
Their lives seemed glamorous, but the first half had been far from happy. Especially for Jude.
Fortunately, he had met someone willing to share life’s burdens, to give everything for him.
And he had gained the courage to pursue happiness and protect himself and those he loved.
No need to question why.
All that mattered was thinking about the days ahead, walking life’s path with someone he truly loved. That was enough.
Tilda read Alfie’s response.
First test–he passed.
Back at her apartment, she messaged Jude.
Jude, do you know anything about Una and Alfie?”
Jude replied, “I know he has feelings for someone, but he hasn’t told me or Maurice who, Is that someone Una?”
“Yup. But you don’t look surprised. You’d better not start lying to me before we’re even married!”
“Don’t get me wong. I’m not lying–1 just don’t care about anyone else’s love life. The only thing I care about is our future!!!”
Tilda couldn’t help laughing. She could picture Jude sitting nervously in front of his phone.
He hadn’t just added three exclamation marks–he’d even made a typo, completely uncharacteristic for his normally meticulous style.
“That’s fine, but Una’s my best friend! If Alfie ever cheats on or betrays her, I’m going after him. Don’t even think about taking his side!”
