The first three words made James realize that the gap between them was an obstacle called time.
However, it is impossible to turn back time. No matter how remorseful he felt, he couldn’t go back to the past.
The loss in James’ eyes gradually turned into gloom, and his handsome face was also tinged with a bleak pallor.

It wasn’t until the elevator door opened that he turned around and grabbed her wrist, dragging her out of the hotel.

Due to the inertia, Amelia fell forward.

He lowered the car window, propped his elbows on the edge of the window, tilted his head, and quietly smoked a cigarette.
All Amelia could see was his clear jawline and slender fingers holding the cigarette through the smoke.
She glanced at it and looked away, assuming James did it because of his addiction to cigarettes.
The silence in the car was suffocating, and Amelia felt a little restless. She wanted to get out of the car to take a breath, so she couldn’t help reaching out and pressing the door button.
Hearing the slight movement, the man raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror to see her pushing the door open.
