Blair's tone was heartfelt, and she spoke with such politeness and caution that it seemed as if she was afraid of offending me.
Sometimes, I did feel that my attitude toward her might have been overly harsh.
After all, she hasn't done anything wrong. She had just inexplicably fallen for me, and the way I treated her was undeniably cruel.
If she weren't so persistent in pursuing me, I might have been able to talk to her normally, perhaps even become good friends.
However, her relentless pursuit was extremely annoying. To be honest, I find Blair and Abigail to be quite similar.
Both of them, in their own ways, have brought me significant distress with their unrestrained pestering.
Initially, I had decided to endure the remainder of my days with Abigail. At least she was able to help me. All I needed to do was endure her torment. It wasn't all that unbearable.
But now, I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of unease. It seemed wrong to go on like this.
Why should I allow Abigail to humiliate me like that? Why shouldn't I resist? Why did I have to submit to her every whim?
If this were back when we were deeply in love, I would've willingly done anything for her, even sacrificing everything I had.
However, at this point, that feeling was long gone.
Abigail harbored a deep hatred for me, constantly seeking ways to humiliate and torment me. Meanwhile, I've been worn down to the point where I could hardly resist anymore. Although I was still alive, I felt like a lifeless puppet.
Was there a point in continuing a relationship like that?
Suddenly, I felt a headache coming and decided to push those thoughts away for now.
Just then, I heard a faint knock at the door. The sound startled me, causing my heart to skip a beat.
