Chapter 176: HIDDEN CURSE
All these years, Dove had thought that she had become strong in her heart regarding this matter, and it just doesn’t affect her anymore. She thought that she was just fine and has already belived that she had no one whom she considered as her brother.
But now, now that she was here, confronting him, those resistance, those strong barriers crumbled, and she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
"You tell me, that you want us to be like before? Hah!" Dove scoffed as her face started turning red, and then continued, "But Mr Noah, I did not even know the reason why we stopped being that in the first place.
You ask me to forgive you? But I don’t even know why did you do that to me in the first place at all?"
Seeing her in that state with years flowing out, Noah’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red and teary too.
Dove’s lips shivered and when she realised how he situation and emotions were going off track from what she has determined, she tried to get herself together instantly. Rubbing her eyes, and taking a deep breath, she looked back at Noah with a straight face and said, "Mr Noah, it would be better if we don’t bring up the matter of the past. And if there is nothing important, then I must go."
And just when she turned on her heels to get going, Noah caught her hand, making her halt, then freeze for a second, before furrowing her eyebrows. And when she turned her head, she found his head casted downwards.
And before she could say anything, Noah started speaking, his head still not raised, "I know I was wrong, Dove. I know I was terribly wrong. I hurt you very much in many ways, and i also know that it isn’t easy for you to forgive me, and I don’t blame you. I know that I have been a jerk for neglecting and avoiding such a close family member. But trust me Dove, I had realised my mistake a long time ago. But then, I also couldn’t approach you because I was afraid that maybe it was too0 late. And my fear for that, actually made me much more late. You had already drifted away from me."
