Chapter 42
"Did you ever like me?"
This was the question weighing his heart for months. This was the question that made him anxious, feeling less of a man. This was the question for her appearing every time in his mind even though he was together with Sisley. This was the question that made him blame her for everything.

He was angry.
He was sad.

Hurt since he truly liked her. Had given his attention and affection to her only to feel that his affection wasn't mutual.
