"I had to," I reply dryly. The look in his eyes softens. He takes a dainty step forward, giving me a critical stare.

"You've done quite well for yourself, Ash. I was so worried and upset when you left, but after seeing all that you have accomplished in two years, I can't even stay mad at you. I'm so proud of you and what you've become. And right now, a part of me is happy that you left. You pursued a goal and achieved it. That's huge. Congratulations."

Warmth pools in my belly, my lips curve into a brilliant smile as his charming words sink into my brain, lighting up my entire body like a lightbulb.

"Thank you," I reply warmly, beaming at him.

"You are welcome."

"What about Tessa? How's she doing? She must hate me very much."

"Hate is a very strong word. She's indeed upset with you, but she doesn't hate you. She'll be thrilled to see you again after all this time."

"I look forward to seeing her too. I'll go to her one of these days."

"You should do that." His eyes go over my shoulders and I follow them behind me and notice that he's looking at Ryan who seems quite uninterested in our conversation. He's busy admiring the mansion together with the guards and they are engaged in a low-tuned conversation.
