Chapitre 466: I Know The Cost

“No, no. That wasn’t my intention at all,” Peter defended himself immediately.

“But that’s what you did,” Alice replied coldly. “You didn’t ask. You didn’t listen. You took what you wanted, and you ignored his wishes.”

“I stopped!”

“And how many times did he have to ask you to!” Alice growled.

Peter clenched his jaw and looked away.

“Too many,” he whispered.

“At least you know that,” she replied quietly.

Bell sat silently, taking a shaky breath.

Alice took a deep breath, slowly blowing it out to calm her anger.

“I’m sorry,” Peter whispered.

“Not to me.” Alice smiled.

“I know,” he said.

Alice sighed, pushing away the fire in her frustration.

“You are a good man, Peter. You just did a stupid thing out of anger,” she said.

“That doesn’t make it all right,” he replied.

“Of course not,” Alice said. “But maybe it will help you understand. Because Myka is a good man too, and he did a stupid thing out of fear.”
