Chapter 25
“Sorry, Amanda.”
Adam put aside all his dignity and pride and knelt along the way to Amanda
He wanted to hold her hand, but restrained himself and let go.
“Amanda, I knew that no matter what I did, I couldn’t undo the harm I caused you. I just wanted to give you an outlet for all the grievances, pain, and sadness you’ve experienced over the years…”
“You just wanted to make yourselves feel better, but why should I give you such an opportunity? I will never reconcile with you in my entire life. I want you to live in pain forever!!!
Amanda grabbed the ashtray at hand and fiercely threw it at Adam
Adam let out a muffled groan as it hit his shoulder.
However, Adam still had red eyes and stood up straight to hug Amanda
“Amanda, it’s okay. It’s okay if you don’t forgive or reconcile. It’s okay if you hurt us.”
In the moment of embracing, Amanda was stunned.
This was a very awkward hug.
Adam seemed to also realize this.
It was over in an instant.
The shoulder that was hit by the ashtray and the unhealed pain in the chest still throbbed, but Adam still pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
“I’m sorry, it was my fault. I couldn’t hold back my emotion.”
The taint voice brought Amanda out of her inemories.
In that instant, she unexpectedly thought of Adam back to 16 years ago.
Back then, Adam was the best Adam, and now Amanda was the best Amanda.
The best of them, surprisingly, were separated by sixteen years of love and hate, tears and silence.
“Could Mr. Powell really not resist his feelings towards someone like me?”
Amanda sneered and gave a cold look, saying, “Don’t you find me repulsive now?”
Upon hearing these words, Adam’s face turned pale
Once hurtful words were spoken, they were like water spilled, unable to be taken back.
Amanda recalled that period of memory, recalling the gloomy and dim firewood room in Ouray, which was like a purgatory.
“Go away!” Amanda pointed at the door, saying harshly, “I don’t want to see you. You only bring me pain, only remind me of that night, remind me of those seven years that were worse than death!”
“Amanda, listen to me. That night I did not kiss Grace. I really did not kiss her.”
But this answer was not important anymore.
It had been a deadlock between them since Amanda was sent back to Ouray sixteen years a
“I’m sorry, Amanda I’m sorry…” Adam repeated these words over and over again.
These words were useless and cheap
But besides those, what else could Adam say?
“Snap!”
A heavy slap was heavily slapped on Adam’s face.
He silently endured.
ago.
“I almost died many times, and I thought that after I came out, you would have a little bit, even just a little bit, of sympathy or pity. I won’t ask you to Chapter 25
cover the so–called with. I just want you not to treat me like the Hacker family did.”
Amanda forced a smile and said, “But you didn’t.”
Upon hearing these words, Adam felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
Both his body and heart became completely cold
It turned out that Amanda had so many hopes for him in the past.
But what did he do?
“Adam, please, spare me. Let me go.”
Amanda looked at Adam, so fragile, so helpless.
Thinking about her pain just now, Adam nodded and said the word with difficulty.
He agreed
Before leaving, Adam looked at Amanda for a long time,
It was long enough to engrave her eyebrows and eyes into his mind.
“Amirdi..
“If my presence could only bring you pain, then I am willing to disappear from your world.”
