After listening to what had Carter said, Shirley’s tears rolled out of her eyes one by one.
The scorching tears fell onto the back of Carter’s hand, and the heat immediately burned his heart.
As Carter spoke, he put the diamond ring on Shirley’s ring finger.
He could feel Shirley’s misery at this moment, so Carter suppressed his emotions. His Adam’s apple gently moved twice, suppressing the feeling of grief.
“Shirley, I am very happy that I had the chance of knowing you in this life. I was too petty for not being able to forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye. In the end, my obsession made me wander onto the wrong path, and now, there’s no turning back for me.“
Carter suppressed his pain and forced himself to finish speaking. He grabbed Shirley’s hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.
“I know that you always have me in your heart, but so what? We might not be able to come together in the end just because of our mutual affection. Maybe someone like me isn’t worthy of love at all.
“Shirley, do you think there’s a next life for us humans?“
Carter suddenly asked this childish question, but his eyes were full of expectation.
“If so, can I make an appointment with your next life now?“
Shirley’s heart trembled violently when she heard this.
She bit her lip tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her emotions under control. “Carter, listen, there is no next life. Don’t do anything stupid.“
She seemed to be warning him, but in fact, she was hoping she could use this way to stop Carter from committing suicide.
She could not accept how he wanted to use such a decisive way to completely settle all grievances.
However, how could all of this end because of this?
Jeremy and Madeline’s deaths would not be resolved by Carter’s death.
Shirley’s tears fell all at once.
