Revenge After Death

Chapter 462

Previously, I believed that he didn't care and that my presence was not as important as the secret he was protecting. But now, I could probably understand why he didn't ask me to stay. He was deeply conflicted, not wanting me to leave yet wanting me to go at the same time.

"I was wondering how you could resist seeking me out and showing up in front of me. You even prevented me from remembering you." I pushed Michael's hand away. Then, I snatched the umbrella from Steven's hand and hurled it to the ground.

If he wanted to get wet in the rain, then we would get wet together. Why was he holding an umbrella for me when he was soaked alone?

"If you're already soaked, what's the point of me standing under the umbrella? We were supposed to go together."

I suspected he was up to something in secret all these years. He feared that being associated with the organization would put him in danger. He was afraid of dying and leaving me sad. That was why he repeatedly urged me to forget about him.

Steven's eyes were red as he picked up the umbrella and once again shielded me from the rain. This time, he stood under the umbrella beside me. When I looked up at him, my eyes were filled with emotion. There was a mutual understanding without the need for much explanation.
