Bab 77: Chapter 77

Ava was in tears by the time Alaric finished his story. 

"I am so sorry, I didn't know," Ava said sobbing.

"Don't cry. I've gotten used to it," Alaric said sadly.

"I am leaving this country and I hope to never see you again. I cannot see you with Tristan," Alaric said truthfully. 

Ava felt bad about Alaric's past. She felt pity for him. 

"I don't know what to say," Ava had mixed feelings.

"You don't need to say anything. Take care," those were Alaric's last words. He stared at Ava for the last time, trying to memorize her face. Then he walked away. 

He knew some things were beyond his reach. No matter how hard he tried, Ava will never be his.

He knew Tristan was serious about Ava. He saw how worried he was when he came into the restroom. He felt it with every punch that he got. 

He would never be able to tolerate seeing Ava with Tristan. So he was going to get as far away from them as he could.
