Your Love Is But a Dream

Chapter 293

Clara continued, "So now you're saying you had no choice and couldn't speak up? Everything you've done wasn't sincere. How am I supposed to believe you? Do you think saying sorry will make me forget everything? I can't do that, and neither can you."

Wren's shoulders slumped in defeat, and the light in his eyes gradually faded. A bitter taste filled his mouth. He had hoped the past few days of being together might ease their relationship, but now, it was clear he had been fooling himself.

Clara had never considered turning back. He was the only one unwilling to move on. Yet, he couldn't let go. Even if she never turned back, he would never let go.

"I'm sorry," Wren said bitterly.

Clara didn't know how to respond. Perhaps he shouldn't have even mentioned it. It would only upset her, and so he dared not press the issue further.

Clara sighed, sitting up and looking at Wren with sincerity. "You don't actually owe me anything. You've cared for me for 15 years. That kindness more than makes up for the hurt from that month. Yet, I still can't let go of the pain. Wren, it's really not possible for us anymore."

It felt as though a knife had been driven into Wren's heart, twisting painfully through his flesh, leaving him gasping for air.

A bitter, metallic taste filled his throat. He clenched his teeth and swallowed it back, but the expression on his face was one of utter defeat.
