Why couldn''t he remember anything?
He was about to enter the room to ask, when he heard Casey''s voice.
n made your favorite spaghetti. I''ll have him bring it up so you two can talk."
ra immediately shook her head. "Dad, give me a little more time. I''m not ready to face him yet. If we don''t handle this right, even if we stay together, there will always be a barrier between us."
Hearing this,n paused mid-step. His hands, hanging by his sides, slowly clenched into fists. He tiptoed down the stairs and pulled out his phone to call Chase.
As soon as the call connected, a groggy voice came through. "What''s up? You woke me up from my day off. If this isn''t important, I''m going to get upset."
lan''s tone was heavy. "Tell Sasha to take the phone."
Realizing the seriousness, Chase quickly got out of bed. While running, he asked, "What''s the rush?"
"ra found out the truth about her mom''s car ident. She doesn''t want to see me. I want Sasha toe and keep herpany."
Hearing the gravity of the situation, Chase didn''t even bother to knock and burst into Sasha''s room. "Sasha,n needs you. ra, she -"
He hadn''t finished his sentence when he saw Sasha staring at him in shock for a few seconds before screaming. Sasha had juste out of the shower, and her hair was wrapped in a towel. She didn''t wear anything, standing in front of her wardrobe and picking out clothes.
The moment Chase came in, she hastily grabbed a scarf from the closet to cover herself. Then she kicked at Chase. "Chase, damn it, ever heard of knocking?"
Chase dodged backward, with a mischievous smile on his face. "Sorry, I heard ra was in trouble and didn''t think much of it.”
Sasha was initially angry, but her mood shifted upon hearing about ra. She snatched the phone from Chase''s hand. She asked, n, what happened to ra?"
lan paused before saying, "She
found out her mom was killed by Leonora. She doesn''t want to see me now. I was hoping you coulde and be with her." S
"Okay, I''ll get dressed and head over," Sasha replied instantly.
After a few seconds,n spoke again, "ra and I have known each other for a long time, right?"
It was a sudden question, so Sasha was taken aback for a few seconds. Then she said, "Should be, but how you met, ra never mentioned."
Hearing this,n closed his eyes in
agony. So that was why three years ago, ra had volunteered to stay and take care of him. And when he suggested dating without marriage, ra had agreed without hesitation.
She had fallen in love with him three years prior. To be with him, she had given up the chance to study abroad and to be a legal elite.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Thinking of this,n was in extreme pain. ra had given up everything for love, just to be by his side.
But what about him? How had he hurt her time and time again?
After hanging up,n stood alone on the living room balcony, staring into the falling rain, lost in thought.
When he heard Casey''s footstepsing down the stairs, he turned around. his eyes red-rimmed. "How is ra?"
Casey sighed with a hint of pity, "What sins did you twomit in your past lives to endure such pain? She won''t get over it anytime soon. Give her some more time."
lan said with a heavy voice, "I understand. The spaghetti is ready for her. Could you please take it to her? I have to go back to the office now."
"Aren''t you going to have a bite? You hardly ate yesterday."
"No, I''m not hungry. Thank you for everything these past few days." After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Casey shook his head helplessly.
After breakfast, ra took Snow, for a walk in the garden alone.
