Chap 64: Confessions

" Whatever I said earlier was true," Chris said to Adele.

" What are you talking about?"

" About loving you."

Adele blushed at that. " W-We can discuss that l-later."

" No, we can't," Chris said desperately.

" Why?"

"I-It's just that we have waited for a long time, and I have to tell you this." Chris suddenly held Adele's hands and looked into her eyes. " I am genuinely sorry for all my mistakes. If I could turn back time, I wish I could undo all those horrible things I did to you."

" Chris, I understand. You don't have to..."

" No, Adele. Please hear me out," Chris interrupted. " I have to say this not only to you but also to Alexa. She almost lost her life because of me. No day went by after that when I didn't regret not trusting you."
