When their memories were all visited, Ryan Richard looked at Charlotte Thompson as she fell into the rhythm of reliving their past. The distant look on her face was no more.
Believing the moment to be opportune, he seized the opportunity to hold Charlotte's hand tightly.
"It was my fault back then, but I have paid the price. Emily Allen betrayed me, so Sophie, can we...?"
However, looking at the naïve expression on Ryan's face, Charlotte could only feel revulsion.
Without hesitation, she shoved him away. "Whatever retribution you've met, what has that got to do with me! That is your punishment!"
Charlotte's cold demeanor struck Ryan deeply. He remembered Sophie as a different person, a little girl who could only cry when she knew she was betrayed.
But that did not deter him from seeking her out. "It's okay, Sophie, it's okay if you still hate me."
Ryan forced a smile.
"Security, take him away!"
Charlotte called out. She no longer had the time to deal with him.
