Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 88 Embracing With Open Arms

I sighed. I opened my mouth to speak, but for a moment, I had no idea what to say.

Eric already had everything planned out for me.

Dependence was the scariest thing to me because once I became familiar with this sense of dependence, I would find it harder and harder to leave his side. Thinking this, I instinctively took a step back, creating distance between Eric and myself.

"Thank you very much for helping me this time, Eric," I said. "I understand that you mean well, but I hope that you'll let me know in advance when encountering a similar situation in the future. That way, I can choose whether or not to accept your help. After all, it wouldn't be fair to you to keep aiding me one-sidedly."
