Tyler evaded my gaze. "I'll tell you directly if I find them."
I pursed my lips. "As I said, since they abandoned me, there’s no turning back. I'll just take it as though they don't exist in this world. Moreover, stuff like that isn't really that important at our age now, don't you think?"
Tyler nodded and said no more.
The car stopped at the gate of the villa. I tried to get out but he grabbed my arm. "Do you still resent me, Wandy?"
I knew what he was referring to. I fell silent for a very long time before saying, "Tyler, it’s been many years since the incident and there’s no use bringing it up anymore. Besides, the damage you did to Cecilia back then was the greatest. The damage you did to me was nothing compared to hers."
I never thought I would one day be able to live in harmony with Tyler, but life was full of twists and turns. Now, not only did I not hate and fear him, but I had come to rely on him and treated him as my family.
In a sense, was I becoming the same kind of person as Tyler?
Tyler chuckled. "Does that mean that you don't resent
me anymore?"
I nodded.
"If I do something to hurt you again one day, will you forgive me?" he asked with a smile.
I frowned. "Will you do it?"
Tyler patted the steering wheel and said, "I might."
After a pause, he continued, "Will you still forgive me then?"
