Chapter 136 You No Longer Belong to Me

"One must always rely on oneself," Sadie said with a bitter smile.

Ronan's heart ached for her. He reached out to embrace her.

She instinctively stepped back, his hand freezing mid-air. "Sorry, I forgot again - you no longer belong to me..." he said with a self-deprecating, bitter smile as he pulled his hand back in disappointment. Such a poignant phrase, such a desolate gesture, deeply touched Sadie's heart.
