Chapter 178: Mental Health

Selma Payne's POV:

"So, I'm here today to ask for your forgiveness.

"In the past, you were the one who coaxed me every time we fought because you loved me and were willing to put down your pride for me. Since that's the case, why can't I be the one to lower my head first this time? This is my fault, to begin with."

I walked up to him and squatted down. I took his hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, Aldrich. I promise I won't be as impulsive as before. I promise I'll care about myself as much as you care about my safety. I won't let you worry anymore. I promise I'll try my best to learn and control the power of devouring, and I won't let negative emotions control my mind. Are you willing to forgive me?"

Aldrich looked at me deeply, and after a long while, he pulled me into his arms.
