Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 157

Ian’s smile faded.

Leah knew Ian and Sasha had nothing going on between them. She also understood that Ian had never lied to her. He would rather keep it to himself to the ends of the earth.

The look on his face after her mention of Sasha implied he knew that she would be angry when she found out. Yet, he still chose to hide it.

“It wasn’t on purpose, Sarah. I’m sorry.” Ian lowered his gaze and sighed.

Leah quietly waited for him to explain, but he defaulted to silence.

She pursed her lips and asked, “So, you’re not going to explain anything to me?”

Ian looked at her as emotions surged in his heart.

He wanted to explain, wanted to tell her why, hug her and tell her that it wasn’t like that.

That would only trouble her. It hadn’t been easy for her to escape and gain a second chance at life. Her future still held endless possibilities. She shouldn’t be wasting her time on him.

He knew that she would remain by his side without hesitation as long as he said the word.

But he couldn’t be selfish.

Hating him would be an easier way out… This way, she would leave with a broader view of the world.

There were far fewer regrets in hate.

Ian’s fingers curled up before he looked up with a smile. “Yes. I regret it.”

Leah lurched and gave him a suspicious look as she waited for him to elaborate.

Ian still had such a gentle expression, and yet his words left her out in the cold.

“I had wanted to marry you, but Sasha’s return made me regret it,” Ian said. “Sasha and I were childhood sweethearts. We grew up together. These feelings I have aren’t an easy thing to give up. I think I prefer being by her side.”

Leah looked expressionlessly at him and stared right into his eyes in search of signs of deceit.

Ian, however, looked as he always did, complete with his gentle smile.
