I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 3

Nathan extended his hand toward Isabella. “Come home with

me.”

The scene faintly overlapped with their first meeting four years ago. Back then, it was in this very spot where a wounded Isabella, driven out of het home by her mother, had curled up in despair. Nathan Hill, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, appeared in her life..

Naïve and inexperienced, Isabella had been drawn to his kind and compassionate face. Without hesitation, she followed him.

“Sir, why me?”

Though young, Isabella understood that nothing in the world came free.

Nathan, burdened by his thoughts, took a moment before replying in a low voice, “It has to be you.”

She didn’t know that he had painstakingly sought her out, going to great lengths to approach her. In her innocence, she mistook him for a benefactor and believed she was just another of the many impoverished children he had helped. She trusted him so easily.

“Sir, thank you for giving me a home. I’m very hardworking–l can cook, do laundry, sweep, and mop… I can do so many things.”

Nathan gave her a faint glance. “I’m not looking for a housekeeper.”

“Then how can I repay you?”

“You really want to repay me?”

“Yes. Even a small kindness deserves a great return.”

Nathan smiled knowingly.

Now, looking at Isabella curled up again, Nathan, who had spent four years with her, could easily deduce her reason for returning, to Rainbow Bridge. This was where they had first met. By instructing Ezekiel to bring her back here, wasn’t she signaling her desire to return to the point before she met him?

A faint, bitter smile tugged at Nathan’s lips.

“Did you regret meeting me?”

Isabella didn’t respond.
