Chapter 688

In the midst of his overwhelming grief, he seemed oblivious to everything else, consumed by regret. "If it hadn't been for what you did to my mom back then, I wouldn't have harbored such hatred for you, fueled by Elaine's manipulations.

Yes, I admit I was foolish, placing my trust in Elaine for so long.

But even in those three years of hatred, you were always on my mind.

I tried so hard, so why did it end with us forever apart?

Why is fate so cruel, punishing me with the inability to love you?

I can't bear it any longer!"
