As Arthur recounted this, he quickly added, "The family also cared a lot about Jaden, buying him a motorbike, a computer, and a phone, and occasionally getting him clothes or sending him treats, worried that he was living too harshly.
"During holidays, we would also go to the countryside to help out, allowing Jaden to hang out with his friends.
"So Jaden was quite young at that time, yet so busy. How could he possibly start a relationship as soon as he got to college?
"Besides, Jaden has always been the campus heartthrob and a top student, with girls who liked him lining up around the playground. Compared to that, Linda didn't stand out at all. Why would he be attracted to her?"
Athena nodded. "Yes, I thought of that too. I've always been skeptical of her words."
"Linda has made significant efforts to impress Jaden and win over our family," Arthur said honestly, without entirely dismissing Linda just because he disliked her.
Arthur said, "To win Jaden's heart, she seemed to have followed him secretly for a long time, befriending his classmates and learning about him thoroughly. Then she would help him out quietly, like getting him excused from class, bringing him meals, taking notes, and so on.
"She also devised many ways to get close to Jaden. Wherever he went, she was usually around.
"Later on, she created coincidences, going to the countryside with Jaden and volunteering to help with housework, taking care of our grandparents, working tirelessly and attentively. Our grandparents liked her very much.
"Jaden, seeing Linda treat his grandparents so well, couldn't possibly dislike her. However, Jaden isn't the type to fall in love just because he feels moved."
At this point, Arthur said very seriously, "He made his feelings clear to Linda and explicitly rejected her confession.
"For all her help, he reciprocated with appropriate gratitude and rewards, never taking advantage of her."
Yet Linda was very persistent, refusing to give up.
After graduating from university, she turned down the job her family found for her, insisting on following Jaden to the countryside.
When Jaden rejected her, she said she would work for him, and he should pay her.
She really moved to the countryside, renting a place from a villager and going to the Donovan family daily to farm, cook for the elderly, clean, and even take care of their bodily needs. Everyone praised her as a good girl. Even so, Jaden maintained a platonic friendship with her.
The turning point came one winter after graduation.
It was particularly cold that day when Jaden went to the city to buy something, and his grandfather suddenly had a stroke. Linda was the first to notice something was wrong, promptly took the right action, and called for an ambulance.
Thanks to the timely rescue, Jaden's grandfather avoided the worst and ended up with only mild paralysis, making walking difficult.
This incident changed Jaden's feelings for Linda from being touched to being attracted.
The relationship developed naturally from there, and they confirmed their romantic involvement.
"In those years, she really helped our family a lot," Arthur said. "Otherwise, with Jaden having to care for his grandparents while managing the farm, he wouldn't have been able to handle it all, and I wouldn't have been able to help my parents run a barbecue stall."
Upon hearing this, Athena thought to herself that, objectively speaking, Linda's perseverance over the years indicated she truly loved Jaden, and this time she probably wouldn't easily let go of him.
Additionally, Linda was cunning, tenacious, and hardworking. It wouldn't be easy to make her disappear entirely.
