Rose felt calm without any mood swings. It seemed as if she had had nothing to do with it.
And even the pain vanished that she was betrayed and hurt after she decided to sell herself and tried all her efforts to save Sky's life five years ago.
"Rose...I know I did something hurtful to you and I failed to understand your efforts and to trust you absolutely. I was deceived by Sophie. I'm a fool..."
"Rose, I know I'm not the one who deserves your forgiveness, as neither do I forgive myself. But I still want to say that at the moment when I know the truth, I've already made my decision to do everything to make up my mistakes and your sacrifice as well."
"Rose, I still want to insist on it even if you may refuse..."
Staring at Rose's detached face, Sky was feeling a grab on his heart, and such piercing pain gave him no way to breathe. He said, "Rose, please give me a chance to atone for my wrong deeds. I just want a chance and comfort myself."
"Mr. Tanner, just let it go. I don't care it anymore, so I think this chance is unnecessary. And you shouldn't stay here. You'd better go back." It was beyond Rose' expectation that Sky would come from afar to explain to her.
"I won't." Sky suddenly became as self-willed as a kid, "I won't leave without your agreement."
"Mr. Tanner, it was of my own will to save your life and no one forced me to do that. And it's because I had so much confidence in other people that I received nothing but Sophie's betrayal and this was none of your business. As I said, just let it go. I don't care anything about it anymore, so you don't have to worry about it either. Our relationship was cut long ago." Rose always kept a distance with the man.
Sky still persistently strove to get close to her. Rose's emotionless words stabbed into his heart like a knife. Was there really no chance for them to get back together?
"But after I know the truth, those memories of our past keep lingering on my mind."
"If you can't really get these things out of your mind, then you can just consider me as the kind of woman who you think I should be, and those who will leave you alone when you in lethal danger. Perhaps it may make you feel much more relieved." Rose would rather make herself bad than get entangled in the past with him.
It made no sense for them to think about what happened five years ago. The time had passed and everything had changed. Nothing could be discussed.
"Rose..." Sky was so surprised, "You'd rather choose to continue my hatred to you than give me a chance to make up for you? You really hate me that much?"
"I don't hate you." Rose told him the truth in sincerity, "Actually I did feel resentful, unresigned and heartbroken at the very beginning...but it's been five years since then and everything has gone. And you can see as well that I have a happy and satisfactory family and I am now living in such a happy life that I can't spare any time to think about those things."
"Rose, it's I that ruined our happiness." Sky was eaten up by regrets and said, "We should have had a happy life if Sophie had not dug a pit for us."
"There is no 'if', so stop being persistent, Mr. Tanner. Just live our own happy lives." Rose persuaded.
"There is no chance for me and Sophie getting back together after I know the truth that she deliberately intrigued you and schemed against me five years ago...she made me lose my lover...how can I lead a happy life with her? She owes me my happiness!" Sky became a little bit emotional and completely showed his hatred to Sophie.
"She got me into such mess and I will never ever forgive her! So I will divorce her once the right time comes! I will absolutely get this shameless and vicious woman out of being my wife!"
Sky gnashed his teeth in hatred when mentioning Sophie.
