She saw the weakness in his eyes and how much this man, who had always been proud and aloof, was looking forward to and begging for her forgiveness.
She didn't expect him to prepare these things tonight, so she wasn't prepared at all. She looked at the petals and candles at her feet, and the carefully constructed environment around her. She felt a surge of heat in her heart. This man was used to being superior, so every time he lowered his head, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. It was the same five years ago, and now it was the same.
She calmed down and said slowly, "I didn't expect to meet you in Eoland five years later, nor did I expect to come back to Jewel City with you. It all happened so suddenly. I didn't know..."
"I know, I know everything." The man's breath was also trembling, and she could feel the fluctuations in the bottom of his heart. "I don't expect you to forgive me completely. I just hope that you can give me a chance to take care of you and your child." What Huston said was true. When he thought of how she had been away from them all these years and how they had no one to rely on, but he hadn't done anything for them, he felt even more indebted.
In the end, she couldn't hold back her tears, and crystal clear liquid flowed out of her eyes. She shook her head, afraid that she would misunderstand. "I don't need your compensation and sympathy. I don't need it."
"I don't sympathize with you, nor will I sympathize with you. We are both the most hurt in this relationship. What right do I have to sympathize with you?" Looking at her tearful and fragile appearance, he couldn't help but step forward and hold her in his arms. His fingertips gently wiped away the tears on her face, and his tall body bent slightly. His forehead was pressed against hers, and his eyes were full of affection.
