Hunter said this and wrapped his arms around her waist as they left.
Her steps were somewhat unsteady. He turned his head and whispered in her ear, "Don’t think about those past trivial matters; they’re all over now."
Faye Townsend turned her head to look at him, their eyes met. To others, it seemed like a lingering gaze, but only she knew that both of them were unconsciously thinking about the past.
Some things, how could they really just pass so easily?
He took her to the car. Because he gave no order, the driver dared not start the car.
Faye Townsend lowered her head and smiled, "How could it be nothing? This beautiful evening dress got ruined."
"Faye, you know what I’m asking.
Don’t choose to avoid my question; are you okay?"
Faye Townsend bit her lip and sighed softly, "Do you think... we can really stop thinking about those past things?
Even though you clearly know it was I who made Sebastian leave.
Even though... you obviously hated me for so many years.
Can all this really be written off?"
Hunter gently held her hand, "Why can’t it be?
Why do we have to keep living in the past?
Some truths, I realized too late, but compared to you, I repented earlier.
Everyone has their rightful place, and mine just happens to be by your side.
The matters of the past are already over.
No matter who was right or wrong, let’s let it pass.
From now on, I will stay with you, whether wrong or right, we’ll face everything together.
I don’t believe we can’t find the happiness we once had.
Faye, don’t overthink things, just stay by my side.
I’ll shelter you from the storms, and I won’t let you suffer anymore."
Faye Townsend bit her lip and closed her eyes, tears swirling around her eyes, eventually squeezing out.
Hunter turned sideways and embraced her, "Faye, don’t cry, we’ll be happy."
Faye could not utter a word. Sebastian was the nightmare and curse of her life.
Yet she never regretted making her leave back then.
If she hadn’t left then, there wouldn’t be Hunter’s current brilliance.
But she always knew that, in fact, Sebastian hadn’t done anything wrong.
She just loved Hunter, just... like herself, wanted to be Hunter’s wife.
But for herself and for him, she cruelly drove Sebastian away.
She didn’t dare say she did the right thing, but regarding Hunter, she really believed she had nothing to be ashamed of.
But is being unashamed enough to be at peace?
It’s impossible; her conscience is uneasy.
Especially upon learning that Sebastian wasn’t living well, she was truly unhappy.
But if time could go back, she would still make the same decision.
When it comes down to it, some things are like unsolvable chemical equations.
"I’m sorry." Faye slowly raised her hand to hug his waist, "Hunter, I’m truly sorry."
She also wanted happiness, wanted to return to that carefree state of the past.
But from the start, they had ventured into different paths.
Now, they were getting further and further apart on their respective paths.
There’s no way back anymore.
Even if they turned back, they couldn’t find the entrance to return to the original path.
"Sebastian wasn’t happy with Lucas.
Lucas often beat her, and she even suffered fractures because of it.
If she isn’t happy, how could you be happy?
If you’re not happy..."
Faye Townsend bit her lip, unable to say, ’How can I be happy?’
Hunter frowned slightly, looking into her eyes, he could see the deepest despair there.
Faye took a deep breath and reached out to open the door, "I felt a bit stuffy inside just now, I want to walk alone for a while, you go ahead first."
After getting out, she closed the door and walked along the roadside.
Walking in an evening dress by the roadside at this time would attract quite a few glances, especially with the wine stain covering her front disgracefully.
But Faye Townsend didn’t care about others’ eyes.
The good mood was mysteriously ruined by an Olivia.
But thinking carefully, what ruined her mood wasn’t Olivia, but her fear of Sebastian.
Ever since she knew Sebastian wasn’t happy, she always felt indebted to her.
Carrying such a heavy debt, how could one be happy?
As she wandered aimlessly, suddenly someone rushed from behind and hugged her.
Just from the familiar scent, she knew who it was.
