章節 49: A Lie

Aldrich's POV:

When did the estrangement between my father and me start, and why did it deepen? I had no recollection of it at all.

However, to break through the barrier, one only needed true love and to take the initiative to take that step.

I believed love was like this too, right?

[I'm sorry, Selma. I sensed that you were acting strangely, but I still wanted to use that little self-righteous trick to cover up the past. I've never been in love, so I admit I shamelessly ran away when a small obstacle appeared in our relationship. I was afraid you would leave me if I didn't handle it well.

[You should be angry with me. I deserve this.

[If I take the initiative to break the ice, will you forgive me?

[To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm afraid that the nightmare from that night will come true.

[But I've already learned enough lessons from my father. It is useless to escape. It'll only push you further and further away.
