Chapitre 774: Attempt

Klaus' words at that moment were like stabs in Ashley's stomach, but it wasn't as if she hadn't expected something like this.

Their past, full of intense emotions and questionable choices, hung over them like a dark cloud, difficult to dispel. The tension between them was palpable, an invisible line that neither of them wanted to cross.

Despite this, Ashley still stood there with her gaze fixed on his serious profile. She could feel the barrier Klaus had erected and the pain in his words. At the same time as he didn't seem ready to talk about it all, he showed that he had made up his own mind some time ago. It was confusing for her. However, she wasn't willing to give up easily. The memories of the happy times they had shared kept echoing in her mind, and she longed for a chance at redemption.
