Chapter 16：Love and Confusion

Mr. Rochester's arrival changed the atmosphere of the school.
His presence caught the attention of many students, and everyone was curious about him.
I too started to pay more attention to him.

We often talked after class, discussing various topics.
I found that he was not only knowledgeable but also very insightful.
Our conversations gradually became more frequent.

Sometimes, we would walk in the garden, enjoying the peaceful moments together.
These moments made me feel relaxed and happy.
I began to develop deeper feelings for him.

However, I also realized that there was a great distance between us.
He was a wealthy gentleman, and I was just an ordinary teacher.
Our different social status made me feel a bit hesitant.

Nevertheless, I still looked forward to the time spent with him.
Every word he spoke made me feel warm and inspired.
I began to feel more hopeful about the future.

I began to realize that my feelings for him were more than just respect.
I felt myself becoming more dependent on him.
I started to feel confused about my emotions.

In all of this, I became more aware that I had developed love for him.
This emotion made me feel both happy and confused.
I didn’t know how to handle these feelings.
