บท 207: Hopeful

Megan's POV

"Why are you still awake at this hour, Meg?" My mother asked me the moment she found me in the kitchen drinking fresh milk.

"I couldn't sleep, mom; Ashton promised me that he would be here. I had been calling his phone, but he won't answer, plus what happened earlier this evening made me feel anxious." I said as I looked at my mother.

"Gael used to be so sweet and caring, and I find it hard to comprehend why he turned out that way. I know how much he cared for Axel and me. But what happened tonight made me feel he became so different." I said as I adjusted the tie of my robe.

"My dear, Gael is blinded by his pain and too much love for you, and he couldn't accept you chose to give Ashton a second chance after what happened to the two of you. It will always be your decision, Megan, but your father and I knew Ashton loves you so much." My mom declared as she poured milk into her glass.
