Chapter 1076 Light at the End of the Tunnel (I)

• Donnie Burns went quiet for a moment. After a long pause, he said with regret, “What a shame. I thought you and Samantha Wembley might still have a shot at getting back together. You’re both people I admire, and what you had was deep. Honestly, it’s a real pity.”
• But Donnie didn’t dwell on it. He sighed and shifted gears. “Love’s messy. Hard to explain, hard to pin down. Men and women—no one gets away clean. Too bad most people never really figure it out. Let’s drop it.” He himself had divorced and remarried. Between men, there’s a kind of tacit understanding, so he didn’t scold Chadwick Fullner or anything like that.
• By now, Chadwick Fullner was sure Donnie had gone through Kate Penrose to approach Madison Sawyer about investing and buying shares, and that it really didn’t have much to do with Samantha Wembley. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask the one question eating at him: had Donnie been in touch with Samantha, and was she doing okay? But he realized he had no standing. No right to ask.
