Mia shook her head, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes...
Was everything William said true? Had he come looking for her, and had they misunderstood each other due to a series of unfortunate coincidences?
At that moment, William got up from the sofa and looked deeply into her eyes. Suddenly, he pulled her up from the couch and into his embrace.
"Mia, if you're willing, we can still be together. I know you still have feelings for me..."
She didn't have time to react before William's warm breath was whispering in her ear, his arms tightly encircling her waist.
To her surprise, she finally saw the brilliance shining in William's eyes.
Their eyes met, and it seemed as if the entire world stopped at that moment.
"When I was lost, I lost my sense of judgment. You and Ethan weren't together, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here looking for me now." He stared unwaveringly at her slightly parted lips, holding her stiff body tightly.
