章節 1557: Terrifying Existence

Cassie turned sharply and stared at him, her mask of composure barely holding. 

"You… you know why I did what I did. I was young and naive, back then. Stupid, and helpless. I… know better now."

Sunny raised his hands and clapped them, applauding her. 

"Good for you! Really. What stunning growth. But…"

He lingered for a few moments, and then said through gritted teeth:

"But, you know… you never even apologized for taking my freedom away. So, I guess, you aren't that burdened by having done that."

Cassie remained silent for a while. 

Then, she said, her voice trembling slightly:

"But... I did. I did apologize."

Sunny raised an eyebrow.
