Chapter 73 - Jean’s forgiveness

Paris's pov

"I'm not sure I fully understand what you just said," he said, taking a step back,

"It's pretty simple, I should think. I don't know for sure what you've said to her that she has chosen to overlook how much of a scumbag you are-"

"Now you be careful-"

"I won't," Jean said, his eyes heated. I recognized that look. It was the look of a man who was not interested in facing loss. This man had lost Ember, and he wasn't okay. Could I blame him though?

I too, had been on the brink of losing Ember, and I was yet to be okay.

"Alright then." I said resolutely, "Let's hear it."

"you've deluded her."

"I'm under the inclination that Ember makes her choices. And I know those choices are rarely ever manipulated."

"You think you know her so well, don’t you? If you did. If you truly ever cared about her, how come you had so easily hurt her in the ways you had?"

"I'm working so hard to amend my mistakes. I won't stop until she accepts me by the way."

"bollocks to all of that."
