Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 255

Natalia hung up the phone, turning her gaze towards Ryan.

"Sorry

about that, Ryan. Hope you don't mind."

Ryan just laughed.

He didn't mind.

That sense of urgency, he'd felt it before.

Ryan looked at Natalia.

After a moment, he asked, "Natalia, what if I had refused to let go back then? What would've happened to us?"

Natalia, who was in the middle of texting, paused.

She didn't quite know how to respond.

Because she wasn't sure either.

But with Hamilton in the mix, no matter how persistent, it probably wouldn't have worked out.

"Ryan, let's leave the past in the past," she said.

Ryan only laughed.

Easier said than done, right?

But now, he wouldn't force his way between them.

If Hamilton made her happy, he'd be happy for her.
