Chapter 603: His Call (Extra Story)
Aurora was applying a face mask when she saw Alexander’s name flash on her phone screen. Her heart pounded violently. She let out a bitter laugh—so her heart wasn’t completely dead after all.
She tore off the mask and answered the call.
"Aurora... it’s me..." Alexander’s voice was lower than usual, no longer carrying the coldness it once did.
Aurora hesitated. Why was he calling her out of the blue?
"Yeah, I’m here," she said bitterly, her eyes slightly misty. She no longer expected anything from him, but remembering his past cruelty and indifference, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sorrow.
"I’m sorry... Aurora, I misunderstood you... I’m so sorry!" Alexander’s voice trembled with emotion, as if he didn’t know where to begin.
Aurora froze. He was apologizing? Had she heard that right?
"My classmate’s girlfriend accidentally recorded a conversation between you and Everett," Alexander continued, his voice shaking. "That’s how I realized I was wrong all along. I should’ve believed you. I’m sorry for thinking the worst of you..."
Aurora pressed her lips together, unsure of what to say.
She simply listened in silence, but a sense of relief washed over her.
So, he finally believed her.
