57 The Past or a New Beginning? (2/2)

During the four years that they were away from each other, he hoped that she hadn't moved on... that she couldn't move on.

Just like the way he was stuck with memories of her, he hoped that she was somewhere waiting for him to find her.

But she wasn't...

When he found out about her son, he was shocked, devastated, angry, disappointed - just a mix of horrible emotions.

”Stop saying nonsense, what we had is in the past. I have a son now and I-”

”I don't care, I really don't. Su Lian, I'm not trying to go back to the past. I was an asshole and you deserved better. Will you give me another chance? An opportunity to make things right? Can we start over?”

Su Lian bites her bottom lip and tries hard to suppress her incoming tears.

'I love you.'

They were the words she had always wanted to hear from him.

He never said it once, not even on her birthday. And now...
