Chapter 215
I choked back tears and handed him a tissue. Leland, can you please not do this? Don’t cry. In the future, I will quit the habit of eating shrimp, just like I quit you. I can definitely do it.”
Leland wiped away his tears and continued peeling the shrimp. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I betrayed your trust, I betrayed your love!”
I cried and shook my head, “No! It’s not true, Leland, you are also great. It was you who taught me to be a daring entrepreneur, to be willing to take risks and try. Without your care and education, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am very grateful to you.”
“But… but I still lost you, I lost my dearest person, Kaylie. I know you will never forgive me!” Leland said, covering his face with both hands, in unbearable pain.
He, an adult, cried so loudly and uncontrollably like a child, and I couldn’t help but feel both amused and pained at the same time.
I stood up and went to his side.
“Leland, you never used to cry, don’t be like this. You know, you have always been a strong person. You shouldn’t be upset because of me, because of a failed marriage.”
But the more he said that, the sadder I became, and I cried with him.
He held me in his arms, and we cried with our heads buried.
He said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry for hurting you, I truly apologize.”
I said, “Let the past be the past, the Leland I know never complained about the hardships of the environment.”
He said, “I waited for you at the Perez’s villa for half a month and didn’t see you. I felt your pain once again, and I thought you would never see me again. Kay, you really don’t want me anymore, right?”
I nodded, “Yes, Leland, I don’t want you anymore, but you can’t give up. I want you to be better than me, to live a better life than me. I want you to always be my support!”
He raised his eyes, puzzled.
I explained, “If we can’t be husband and wife, let’s be friends, but you are my family, willing to have the family that I would give my life for.”
Leland choked up again, unable to speak.
I knew he was sincere, and after that meal, neither of us took another bite, but we cried for a long time.
