Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 481

Vespera smiled and said, "Good or bad, it's all in the past now."

More good than bad? Digging into that would only trap her in a corner of her own making. She would wall herself in with memories and hold herself hostage with pain. She would start drowning in everything.

One couldn't stand still in love, and one couldn't walk backward. Trying to heal the present by clinging to the past never worked.
