Chapter 407 - Portrayed your departure as a form of betrayal... (2/2)

”Oh! I see..” Veronica said.

”What had happened then?” Reuben asked.

Alonzo then grabbed Amelia's hand a little more tightly to assure her and replied, ”As Amy told you that she recognised me immediately, so we had a fair share of talk together…

Both of us shared each other's number but when I called her at that night to release my exhaustion, she didn't pick it up..

Two days later, she called me herself and we decided to have a friendly chat at a restaurant. There we opened up about our past where we came to know that we both had made mistakes in our lives. So we grew more understandings than sympathizing each other…”

Amelia continued their story from there as she narrated, ”As we were on the same boat, we became each other's supporter in our most difficult time. Like these we started to grow a fondness between both of us...

Our chatting increased and without knowing anything about the circ.u.mstances and the results, we started to like each other and now we're dating for two weeks.”

Everyone listened to them carefully and stayed quiet for few minutes.

But Mr. Jones broke it with the most unexpected question, ”So do you still have feelings for our Vero or you have completely got over her?”

This made not only Alonzo but Veronica too fell off guard in a tight situation but she thought it'd be best to not say something at this moment.

If yes, then it'd be very much helpful for her and Reuben's relationship in future…

Alonzo took another deep breath and did the most unpredictable thing anyone could ever expect from him.

He simply walked towards Veronica which made her not only confused but also made Reuben grit his teeth..

But it changed into surprise when Alonzo suddenly kneeled in front of Veronica and said, ”Vero.. I know whatever happened in the past can't be forgotten ever. The amount of insult I threw on you can't be taken back ever in this life...

But at least, I can apologize to you for my actions which may have hurt you a lot. I'm sorry Veronica for every single thing. You were really a true friend of mine and Alex but I misunderstood it in a wrong way and blamed you for my brother's death and portrayed your departure as a form of betrayal.”

Looking up at her in the eyes, he confessed, ”It's true that I've loved you once in my life more than myself and became crazy over you so badly that I had no idea about right or wrong. Truth to be told, I still like you a lot…”
