Rebecca Kelloway saw Frank Parker sitting on the sofa. Looking at the man who once cared for her and loved her unconditionally but now treated her coldly and distantly, her feelings were complicated.
She slowly walked over.
Hearing her footsteps, Frank Parker looked up.
"Frank, sorry to have kept you waiting. You're not upset, are you?" Rebecca walked gracefully to a seat opposite the man, and a maid immediately brought her a cup of coffee. She took a sip.
Frank Parker looked at her expressionlessly, "Speak. What do you want from me?"
Rebecca looked at his emotionless face, and her own expression stiffened.
Ashton Heath had always been indifferent to her.
So even when he later rejected her and treated her coldly, though she was upset, she didn't feel a huge difference.
But it was different with Frank Parker.
She had enjoyed this man's care and affection for so many years.
Only once something we owned so wholeheartedly was suddenly lost would make it even more unbearable.
