Jas Grant’s path was blocked.
He stared almost despairingly at the person in front of him, his beloved.
After a long while, Jas Grant’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he asked with difficulty, "So, will you go back to Riversend?"
"Not for a while." Evelyn Clayton had gradually cald down, speaking as if chatting with an old friend, "But afterwards, I can’t say for sure. After all, that’s the place where I was born and raised. But you know, family bonds have always been weak for ."
Jas nodded instinctively.
The office quickly fell silent again.
Jas Grant’s hands on his knees were tightly clenched, revealing his current nervousness and helplessness.
Evelyn noticed this, feeling an inexplicable discomfort.
Her eyes flickered as she observed Jas Grant unobtrusively.
Not seeing him for five years, Jas seed to have matured a lot, although ti hadn’t left much of a mark on his face, he was indeed quite different from before.
At least, he was no longer so upfront and sharp.
This seed to be a good thing.
Suddenly, Jas Grant spoke again.
He lowered his eyelashes, not looking at Evelyn Clayton, his lips parted softly.
"I... really want to apologize to you." Jas Grant finally said, "What happened back then was my fault, I shouldn’t have, restricted your—"
He took a deep breath before having the courage to continue, "I shouldn’t have restricted your freedom."
After a long ti, Jas raised his eyes and gazed at Evelyn. "Have you been well all these years?"
Evelyn’s brow moved slightly, she felt a bit dazed for a mont.
She had thought, given Jas Grant’s character, she would never hear such an apology in her lifeti.
But unexpectedly, Jas Grant just said it like that.
"I," Evelyn’s brow twitched slightly, "I’ve been doing well. Many things from back then, I’ve already let go."
Her voice gradually lowered, and as Jas listened, it felt like a knife in his heart.
This was what he feared most.
He feared most that Evelyn would say she had let go and moved on.
It seed as if she had already left everything behind, while only he remained trapped in the nightmare of the past, never waking up.
But Jas was also relieved, relieved that Evelyn seed truly untroubled by those past events.
Recalling that day, when he held Evelyn in his arms and carried her into the car, his hands stained with blood, seeing her on the brink of death, Jas felt that the nightmare never ceased, always haunting him.
"I know you bla , for that child..."
Jas’s voice carried an almost imperceptible tremble.
Evelyn’s heart moved slightly, she looked at Jas calmly for a mont, suddenly asking, "What if I said that child is still alive?"
Jas was clearly taken aback.
After a long while, he t Evelyn’s gaze, falling into a kind of trance.
He softly asked, as if in a dream, "What did you say?"
"I said, if the child is still alive, and she very much wants to see you, would you be willing?" Evelyn asked word by word.
Jas could no longer suppress the tremor.
"Are you saying..." Jas’s throat was itchy and painful, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Evelyn didn’t tornt him anymore and explained gently, "After I left Riversend, the Sinclair family saved , the child is still here."
This news, like a miracle falling from the sky, left Jas utterly bewildered.
Not just because the child was still alive, but because Evelyn chose to let him know.
Does that an...
However, the cold water soon poured down.
"But Jas, don’t misunderstand. The reason I told you is because of the child, not because of anything else."
