Chapter 10

The company has become a distant memory, with her preferring to stay cooped up at home every day.

She often drowns her sorrows in alcohol, reliving our past in her dreams.

When she opens her eyes, all the beautiful memories dissolve like bubbles, vanishing in an instant.

The more she thinks about it, the more regret and fear consume her.

She keeps mumbling to herself, "Dashiell, won't you come back to me? I know I was wrong. I hurt you too deeply back then."

Mr. Everhart and Mrs. Everhart have also reached out to her several times.

They urged her not to continue this downward spiral and to pull herself together.

They also expressed remorse, swearing that if I were willing to return, they would accept me as their son-in-law.

Evelina finds it laughable, shouting at them, "What's the use of saying all this now? Can it bring him back?!"

The elderly couple bow their heads, falling silent one after the other.
