Ryan Noah Jackson stopped in his tracks, stood still, and looked at the woman in front of him.
On his usually composed face, there was now a hesitant expression.
"I suspect you suddenly gave Flynn to me for a reason; it's not just out of pity for the two of us, right?" Seeing him silent, Mia Carter couldn't help but press on.
The reason...
Hearing her bring up these issues, Ryan Noah Jackson's complexion changed.
"There is a reason!"
He had learned the truth about what had happened back then, knew that she had never betrayed him... knew that it was because of him that they had ended up in this situation, that she had suffered so much and become like this.
Watching her now smoking and drinking...
A pain throbbed in Ryan Noah Jackson's heart.
When he first met her, she was a girl brimming with youth.
She had dedicated her youth to him, but in the end, he had let her down...
All of this, Ryan Noah Jackson didn't know how to broach.
