Chapter 675: SS10: Once, He Was Her Unattainable Love

||Asher||

'I have to change. I have to.'

The thought lingered in Asher's mind even before that night in the greenhouse — the particular moment marking the end of his love, the one he realized too late[01].

No more coercing her to return to his side for doing so would only wither her soul further.

It was painful but, he knew he was just being selfish if he continued his pursuits. 

Just as how he abhorred her attention and affection during their short-lived marriage, she would feel the same.

Liliana's feelings for him were long gone, resembling a dried-up stream.

Since that night, Asher drowned himself in more work, hoping to suppress his heartbreak and disappointment. At the same time, the idea of changing—improving—himself often resurfaced in his mind.

More than three decades had passed.

Shouldn't he embrace his demons—his inner fear—by now?
