"Is this the reason you've been distant from me these days?"
Looking into Howard Geoffrey's unfathomable black eyes, Becca slowly retreated with fear, murmuring, "I was too foolish to ever suspect my dad's suicide... Howard, watching me being played around by you like this, all these years, you must be quite pleased, right?"
Her words, so full of sarcasm, pierced through his heart like a sharp arrow.
Pain spread across his heart...
A sense of loss he had never felt before corroded the heart that beat for her.
Facing her questioning, he didn't respond for a long time, and just when she thought he had no way to defend himself, he finally spoke calmly, "You always convict me without listening to my defense, Becca, has the passage of time really changed you from the pure and kind-hearted Becca I once knew?"
Listening to Howard's words, Becca slightly froze.
Howard, seemingly disappointed, turned and left the room once again.
