I knew that Samuel had been looking for me all this while, but the medical team had locked down all information regarding Cole and my whereabouts for security purposes.

When we left the country, the medical team had even sent a private plane over to get us.
“Can’t you forgive me, dear?”
The question made my heart ache.
While we were together, Samuel was always aloof.
I had used many words of endearment to address him, but he only ever called me by my name.
Later, I could not take it anymore and argued about it with him. After that, Samuel had used a term of endearment but only reluctantly.
Yet, he was calling me “dear” so easily at present. That meant that he could have done so in the past as well, but he was just unwilling to do so.
Still, love that came too late was of no use.
“I can explain. What I said during the concert wasn’t what I meant. I couldn’t explain myself clearly that time.
“I never regretted being together with you. I just-”
“You just didn’t know how to sugarcoat your words and tell me the truth.” I finished the sentence for him.
But Samuel denied it. “That’s not it! The mood at that moment made me say those things.”
I found his explanation ridiculous.
I never realized “the mood” could be so important that a usually aloof man could change his personality so drastically.
I did not want to expose his lie, but I did not want to listen to his empty words anymore.
“You and I both know just what your true thoughts were at that time,” I said softly and brought up the divorce again. “Samuel, let’s part on good terms.”
But Samuel
an efused

hands tightly and looked at me in despair.

“That’s really not

meant,” he said in a choked voice.
