Chapter 322

With a subconscious shake of her head, Lexi gave a reluctant nod at Natalia, her best friend, standing in front of her. “Yes, Natalia,” she smiled wryly. “I know I can’t hide from you. Do you think I’m a masochist? He hurt me, but why do I still have some affection for him?”

“Lexi, did Cal really hurt you? Apart from the time he took advantage of you when he was drunk, did he hurt you in any other way?”

His feelings for me are just a promise from childhood. For many years, I have been blaming myself for causing trouble for Cal and have been hoping that he can find his own happiness.
