Chapter 605 Become Your Student

She sounded stern, but Asher could feel the underlying concern in her words, and it warmed his heart.

“Okay, I promise I won’t neglect it. By the time of your next visit, my wound may be starting to scab over.”

Gwendolyn bobbed her head. “I hope so.””

Holding the first-aid kit, she spun on her heels, strode out of the bedroom, and headed downstairs to return it to Sienna.

the idea. He continued, “You’re upset and finding it hard to forgive him. That’s because his actions have hurt you deeply. As someone who loves him, discovering that he sided with Evelyn feels like a betrayal, and forgiveness doesn’t come easily. However, Asher has been remorseful for his actions. He has punished himself, inflicted harm upon himself, and carried the weight of regret in an effort to seek your forgiveness over the past year. He may not be skilled with words, which is why he struggled to face you and express his guilt. But when he took that
