Chapter 1317 Enjoy the Present

"Sadie." Joe grabbed her hand, his eyes all teary and desperate. "Even if you don't love me, just stay with me. I need to see you every day. Please, just be with me." Sadie looked at him, his pleading eyes making her feel all twisted inside. She had hoped he'd move on with time, but clearly, his feelings were still as strong as ever. "Sadie, come back to me, I beg you," Joe's voice cracked as he pulled her into a tight hug, almost suffocating her.

Joe's hand froze mid-air, not wanting to push her further.
