"Explain? After falling off the cliff, you only paid attention to Raine. It's not an appropriate situation to explain anything, and I'm not an ungrateful person. Then the day Raine woke up, I went to the hospital to give you the divorce papers. Raine and I had a quarrel, and you signed the papers and told me to get out.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether I explain it or not..."
His handsome brow furrowed sharply. Her tone of indifference cut through his heart like a knife. Mark rolled his Adam's apple up and down and slowly said, i n his deep, hoarse voice, "Sorry..."
Summer’s clear eyes stared at him quietly, and then she whispered,
"I’m not explaining this to get an apology! I just want you to fully understand that I, Summer Hart, am not the self-righteous sinner in your mind. I didn't gain anything from that incident, and I don't owe you anything!
The marriage four years ago started because of the agreement, and at the very beginning of the marriage, you made it very clear that the marriage was just an agreement, and it was I who initiated the conflict between Raine and me in the first place. Hence I want to apologize.
And Raine is the pure lover in your heart. When you heard me push her off the cliff, in your position, you must have hated me, loathed me, and you must think that I'm an evil woman. I really understand all that.
So I don't hold grudges against you. Now that you know the truth, there's no point in pursuing it any further.
For the past four years, Dean and I have had a wonderful life. And you and Raine are doing great in Athana.
So you don't have to stir things up. We don't need to contact each other again, except about Charlotte..."
"Really, there's no need to talk to me about any of this because it’s none of my business. Where’s Charlotte? I’ll take her home and you go back to Santabaca. I’ll send Charlotte to Santabaca on Friday." She was unusually calm.
Four years ago, these explanations would have delighted her. She would have thought that he cared for her in some way, or liked her.
But four years later, these explanations could not stir u p any emotion in her.
"Charlotte is in the children's section..." He looked at her and spoke softly. Looking at the calmness emanating from her eyes, he wished to smash it with a stone.
When facing him, he would rather her attitude be angry, cynical, or deliberately sarcastic. Such a reaction meant he could still irritate her, and she might care a little. He hated her for being so calm. Being calm meant she did not care anymore. She had moved on, and it would eventually slip away from her memory.
