Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 462

"Phoebe, he confessed." Dexter frowned, glancing at Colin before attempting to whisk me away. "This guy is seriously dangerous."

"Sis... let's get out of here." Hannah grabbed my wrist, trying to lead me away.

Dexter wanted to take me away, too.

But every time, Colin just stood there, his eyes brimming with sadness that seemed ready to spill over, yet he never spoke up to keep me by his side.

I used to think he didn't care, that my presence mattered less to him than the secrets he guarded.

But now... I think I understand why he never asked me to stay.

He didn't want me to go, yet at the same time, he hoped I would.

He was, in essence, torn.

"How could you stand not to reach out to me, to not show up before me, to prevent me from remembering you?" I pushed Dexter's hand away, snatching the umbrella from Colin and throwing it to the ground.

If we're going to get drenched, then let's get drenched together.

Why should he be soaking wet while trying to keep me dry? "What's the point of me standing under an umbrella if you're soaked? We agreed to walk together."
