Chapter 126

• Estella's POV
• I pull him into my chest, caressing his back as he sniffs. I wipe away the tears from his eyes with the back of my palms, nudging him to myself. Right now, he's heartbroken and really regretting what he did to me three years ago. I drop the phone on the table and embrace him more tightly and passionately, he takes a deep breath. I enjoy his face grinding hard against my temple.
• I lower my gaze to his face and there's a lot he needs more than this embrace. A smile lit across my face. I know he wants it but can't say it out perhaps because of doubt on how I'll react.
