"Belinda." Algerone saw that she had accepted the roses. He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This meant she was trying to accept it, right?
At least she was no longer as resistant as before. In the past, even when he called Monica, she would snatch away his phone.
Tonight, the relationship between the two had taken a big step forward.
For Algerone, the tension that had accumulated all day also dissipated a lot. He sat down beside her.
There was a little distance between them, and Belinda didn't show any disgust.
"I know... it's because of me that this moment has been delayed until now." Algerone deeply blamed himself, "I've thought about going to Canada to find you countless times over the years."
Her chest ached. Waves rose in Belinda's heart.
Over the years, she had been waiting for him... So she didn't even change her phone number.
"But at that time..." Algerone thought of the past and couldn't help feeling heavy. "Although I had even bought the plane ticket at that time, I also thought a lot, but in the end I still couldn't take that step."
Why was this? As a woman who had waited for a long time, she really wanted to know the reason.
Algerone looked at her apologetically, "Because at that time, I felt that I couldn't give you a better life..."
Looking at each other, his regret made her even more upset. She tried hard to suppress those emotions.
"So over the years, I've been working hard to manage the company well, to make my personality and temper better, and to specialize in cooking skills."
Belinda could feel his caution and sincerity tonight. Listening to his familiar voice, facing his gaze, the past suddenly rushed back like a tide, bringing real warmth to her heart.
All the estrangement disappeared in an instant.
