“You’re right, I should cherish what I have now. I’ll help you and care for you like a good friend, but I’ll save all my love for Lilac. She made a lot of mistakes for me. Therefore, I’d like to apologize to you once more.
“I’ll keep her in check in the future, and I hope you can forgive her. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. She doesn’t deserve your forgiveness,
