He added, “Scarlett, we’re broken souls. Fate has brought us together and our lives are intertwined, and my life is not mine alone but shared with you. We’re meant to be together.”

His gaze was soft. “Here.” He pointed at his chest. “You’re the only one who has ever been here.”

I pursed my lips and let out a long sigh. We shouldn’t get sucked into the past.

Rising to my feet, I told him, “Ashton, I wish to be left alone.”

Suddenly, I realized I couldn’t bear to hate Cameron. She was my mother, and her actions stemmed from Ashton.

If Rebecca wasn’t the one who returned to the Moore family, everything wouldn’t have happened.

Rebecca, Cameron, and Ashton were all innocent.

Everyone merely took action out of overbearing concern for their loved ones. It was a misfortune for everyone, so even though we were all hurt in many ways, we couldn’t bring ourselves to despise each other.

Ashton wanted to say something, but I pushed him away. We shouldn’t delve into the past or risk hating everyone involved.
