I agreed to go abroad to give you a better life!” “So going abroad means you can’t pick up the phone? Vanish without a trace? Can’t even bother to say goodbye

“The situation at the time.

“Enough, Letitia cut him off, “I don’t want to hear it, it’s all in the past.”

Letitia had completely lost faith in Walden. She shook off his hand and turned to leave.
