He stiffened. âI know I did a terrible thing back then, Iâve been wanting to apologize to you all these years.â
Valda Theller said indifferently, âOkay, apologize.â
He froze as if he was a little stunned that she was this straightforward.
âDidnât you say you want to apologize? Now that Iâm here, arenât you going to apologize?â she asked.
Raymond Bowman took a deep breath, and his thin lips. parted gently as he spat out two words, âIâm sorry.â
âOkay, I heard you. Can you let go now?â Valda Theller asked without any expression on her face.
âDo you forgive me?â Raymond Bowmanâs eyes contained a rare look of eagerness.
âIâve only acknowledged your apology. It doesnât mean I forgive you. Iâm no saint. Iâm not used to forgiving someone who used to hurt me, especially a man who hurt me to please another woman.â
Chapter 2629 âValda, Iâ¦â
Valda Theller said, âDonât call me Valda! Raymond Bowman, whatever happened between us is over to me. I donât hate you, but it doesnât mean that Iâll forgive you for what you did. I only hope that weâll never meet again or that weâll treat each other like strangers when we meet.â
âStrangersâ¦â Raymond Bowman laughed bitterly. âIf I said I could start over with you-â
However, she interrupted him before he could finish, âThereâs no starting over. I want nothing more to do with you. Raymond Bowman, I have no feelings for you anymore. And to tell you the truth, I only think itâs some other bet youâve made at my expense when you talk about starting over!â
There was a pain in his eyes. âI wonât hurt you again. Iâve been regretting what happened back then.â
However, there was still a calm expression on her face as if whatever he said did not matter to her anymore.
Raymond Bowman could not help saying, âWhat about your so-called boyfriend? Do you think heâs serious about dating you? That man looks rich and is good-looking. A man like him should have plenty of women around him. Maybe heâs just fooling around with you.â
Valda Theller said confidently, âHeâs serious about me!
Whether a person is sincere or not has nothing to do with their looks and fortune but character. I trust my boyfriendâs character, and I love him!â
Of course, the last part was a lie.
Raymond Bowmanâs pupils shrank suddenly. His five fingers.
that clenched Valda Thellerâs arm slowly loosened. âYou⦠love him?â
Valda Theller said, âYes, I love him very much. Raymond Bowman, Iâve heard your apology. I hope youâll leave me alone!â
With that said, she turned around and walked into her apartment block.
Raymond Bowman stared blankly at the figure until it disappeared from his sight. He gently lowered his eyes and looked down at the hand that had grabbed her arm earlier.
Her warmth seemed to remain in his palm, but she was already so cold to him.
She had once been warm to him, telling him, âRaymond Bowman, I like you very much. I think this is love. I think Iâll always love you. Even if Iâve become an old woman, I will still love you this much.â
However, he had destroyed her feelings for him!
