Chapter 112 I Can Never Resist Him

• "It’s just... complicated. I can’t do this now, I’m not ready to do this. I... I...” I stammered out, feeling miserable. Just then, I glanced at Liam and Clara, still standing a little distance away, their expressions a mix of confusion and concern. I felt torn. Torn between the man I knew I loved deep down and the one who had fought for my safety while I was stuck in a storm of grief and regret. Liam wants this, he wants to help Ethan and I. But is this really what I want?
• “Maybe we can talk, Just us for a moment?” Ethan asked, eyes pleading. I felt my heart race. Part of me wanted to agree, another part wanted to refuse and protect the fragile peace I had found. But as I looked into Ethan’s eyes, all I saw was longing, a reflection of my own heart.
• “I... I...” I started but found my voice halted by the surge of emotion. I never intended to come face-to-face with him again, at least not yet.
