Chapter 97

In the end, Luca had been right all along.
It wasn’t that Aiden hadn't sent me letters; he couldn't.
‘I can’t believe there would come a day when I thought I should've listened to Luca.’
I bit my lip hard.
‘I had no idea. I got mad and avoided him for no reason. But who could just be calm and say, "Yeah, you probably had your reasons. Shall we talk about it?" in front of someone who hasn't been in contact with them for years? No, I should admit it. I was just being really mean…’
"Lili."
While I struggled to find the right words, Aiden calmly spoke up. I glanced up to see him smiling as always, patiently waiting for me to speak.
"I'm sorry for being thoughtless and avoiding you," I blurted out.
"But I told you before..."
"Lu said you must have had your reasons. Even he knew what kind of person you were and trusted you."
