Chapter 173

I paid no heed to his request and told him, “You should get someone else to drop by and take care of you. It’s getting late. I need to return home soon.”

Since the sky had already gotten pitch-black, I really had to return to Ashton soon. To be frank, I wasn’t sure what would occur once I reached home.

John’s expression darkened almost instantly. He replied petulantly, “Do you think that I have anyone else to rely on apart from you? Since you have something else to tend to, feel free to leave!”

I was at a loss for words due to his response. He behaved as though he would give up on himself again. Frowning, I offered, “I’ll get you a caretaker to keep an eye on you.”.

“Scarlett! Are you holding a grudge against me? Do you want me dead? Are you going to leave me alone as well?”.

The sulky man added, “You do realize that you’re the only one I can rely on, don’t you? Over the past five years, I resisted the urge to approach you because I didn’t want to get in your way and ruin your blissful life. Initially, I thought that I would make it through the darkest moments of my life on my own, but I was wrong-I didn’t expect to encounter you in A City.”

He lowered his gaze and stared at his wounded hand, acting all gloomy. “Ever since we’d last met, I’ve come to realize that I no longer wish to be separated from you any further! Can we return to the good old days? Let’s keep one another company for the rest of our lives! What do you think?”
