Chapter 197: Heartache

"Meredith…"

Atlas motioned for her to sit down for a while on the bench that was beside them. As he knelt down in front of her to tie her shoelace for her, he replied to what she said, further assuring Meredith as he knew that deep down, she is anxious about the two of them and their relationship.

"I was angry at you… I snapped at you, I had to admit," he began, now finished tying her shoelace. He then looked up at her and cupped her face in his hands, looking straight into her eyes. "But I couldn't bear not being with you, Meredith. I was hurt… but the love is still here. It will always be here."

Without sharing another word, the both of them shared a kiss in the park. Meredith's heart beat faster in her chest, thinking that she will not waste this opportunity given to her. She will indeed redeem herself and not waste Atlas' love.

However, what they didn't know was that from afar as it is now evening, there was a vampire watching them with a broken heart.
