'Esther and I broke up because she betrayed me. But I can't let go of the love I have for her, overnight.'
Sitting in the cab, Ella reflected on Mo Jun's response.
'Is something like love more important than everything you stand for?' She asked him rather challengingly.
After all, from her perspective, there was some mismatch between Violet, Esther and Mo Jun. As someone who doesn't know who he is supposed to love, how can he make big claims about it?
Didn't she also spend lifetimes thinking she loved Max? How did it turn out?
'Ella, when you love someone, you don't even realize it until you are too deep into it,' Mo Jun responded with a small smile, 'They can be completely different from you. They can stand on the opposite of everything you stand for. Yet, it is too late for you to think about it…'
'Because you already love them. You think of them, dream of them, wish for them, care for them… They consume you, like nobody has ever before.'
