Chapter 23
He never imagined that one day she would look at him with such eyes.
In the past, when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with love and dependence, shining like stars.
But now, everything has changed.
Edgar felt as if his heart had been torn open, with the wind rushing in loudly.
A person who had only known each other for a few days could receive Stephanie’s protection, but she only showed coldness and aloofness towards him.
Edgar couldn’t accept this outcome!
He was just about to grab Stephanie’s hand to explain, when Zayden deliberately rubbed his wrist red.
“Sister Stephanie, he just grabbed me and wanted to spend money to drive me away. He didn’t like me and I still want to continue with the project, I don’t want to be driven away by him.”
Stephanie was immediately drawn to his bright red wrist, her brows furrowing subconsciously.
“I took you to see the doctor, as long as you didn’t want to leave, I would find a way to make him give up this idea.”
With that, she led Zayden away, her eyes full of heartache.
Edgar was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe. How could she not see through his clumsy disguise and deception?

When he rubbed his hands, his expression did not change at all, and he didn’t seem to be pretending to be pitiful. Can she really believe this?
Edgar’s heart was almost drowned in sour water, vinegar reddening his
eyes.
Seeing the person you love makes you feel even more sorry for others. That’s the feeling in my heart…
Until this moment, he finally experienced her past pain firsthand.
However, this was only one–tenth of her pain.
Edgar walked through the campus feeling lonely.
Out of nowhere, the image of him and her walking hand in hand on the university campus in the past appeared in front of his eyes again.
At that time, his happiness was very simple.
Just holding her hand and walking with her like this, walking until evening to send her back to the dormitory, exchanging a kiss downstairs at the dormitory building, that was enough happiness.
But how did they end up in this situation?
This time, Edgar really regretted it.
If Amelia had not appeared, if he had not changed his mind, he would definitely still be happy now.
He returned to the hotel in a daze, touching the photo of him and Stephanie from before, filled with nostalgia.
For the next few days, Edgar did not appear in front of Stephanie. He just quietly followed behind her, in the unseen corners, silently watching her daily life.

Without him, her days were incredibly fulfilling.
Apart from occasionally filling in for Deshawn in class, she spent most of her time in the laboratory.
She and Zayden worked together seamlessly, and their conversations grew more and more frequent.
Although most of them were related to experimental projects, it was obvious that the atmosphere among them had changed from the past, harmonious to the point where outsiders could not intervene.
The alarm of crisis kept sounding in Edgar’s mind.
He set up a confession scene at the fastest speed.
After a busy day, Stephanie took a deep breath and walked out of the laboratory, ready to go back and rest.
At that moment, countless roses came into view, forming a huge heart shape with numerous candles, along with the words “I’m sorry“.
Edgar stood in the center of the heart, holding a transparent glass jar filled with a thousand paper cranes.
“Stephanie, I’m sorry, I was wrong. It was all my fault for breaking our initial promise and changing my mind. Now I truly realize my mistake. Can you forgive me this one last time?”
“This jar was the first birthday gift you gave me. You said that with one thousand paper cranes, I could ask for a reasonable request from you. If I make a mistake, you can forgive me once.”
“I have never used any of these origami cranes before. Can I exchange all of them for your forgiveness now?”
He opened the can, took out a paper crane, and said, “I’m sorry.”

Stephanie was too lazy to listen or count how many origami cranes he took out or how many times he said “I’m sorry“.
