Chapitre 248: The End

Malachi didn't know how long he held Melanie for.

But since he was feeling more than a little responsible for breaking her heart, he didn't complain or make any moves to leave first.

After all, she was the victim in all of this.

She had been taken advantage of, and he didn't want to punish her any more than she already had been.

But he couldn't just make himself stay with someone who he didn't love or trust.

Not after all of the wonderful women that he was already with were showing him everyday just how much they cared about him and the family they were building.

He just wanted to move on, and keep Melanie as another close friend.

"I gotta say, you're really surprising me here, Mel. I thought I wasn't your type anymore." he tried to make a joke, hoping that would lighten the atmosphere a bit. 

Mel finally wiped her face of tears and grabbed him by the ear.
