Chương 359: The Extent of Wickedness - Part 14

Thursday continued ….

James could not, on hearing Alecia's sobs, help to turn back to her. He knew with how he felt about her that he could leave her there on the couch sobbing. Ne knelt on the ground in front of Alecia, taking her hands in his.

In a quiet voice, he said "Alecia, please do not cry…"

That caused the sobs to deepen, and between the sobs she said "You are just like everyone else, since I was attacked. You are rejecting me, want to control me and have nothing to do with me."

With those words, James realised that his actions, while wanting to protect her from things escalating out of control caused this reaction. That was the last thing he wanted. All he wanted for her was to be happy and safe. His wants and desires did not matter.
