Chapter 84 - Seventy-One
LEO
"Who gave you the permission to talk to my husband without my knowledge?" This is the first question I ask Leon after sitting down at the table in a five-star hotel.
He has invited me for a meal today but I am not willing to give him more than thirty minutes from my schedule.
"I am sorry, I should have asked you about it first." Leon apologizes quietly, "Do you want to eat something? Please order." He pushes the menu card toward me, "I am paying."
"I am fine." However, I bluntly reject him. "You have only thirty minutes to say what you want to say, Leon. I have work to do.
He nods, "I won’t take long. Don’t worry." Leon tenses up a bit before forcing out, "I am sorry."
"For what?" I ask even though I know what he is actually trying to mean.
"For what happened eight years ago." Leon bites out, "I was deceived by Jessie and was too mad to think properly. I shouldn’t have behaved just like I did back then. I should have heard you first. I am really sorry."
"What is the point now?" I ask exhaustedly, "You didn’t believe me when I said the truth. And then for all these years, I had been chasing after you to tell you that I wasn’t at fault but you didn’t even bother to hear me out and just when I stopped doing all this you are now desperate to make things right. Can you tell me why? Could you show me the reason behind all this? I have always thought that even if nobody liked me in that house you and Jules did. Until that incident. You turned your back on me and threw me out of the house. Knowing that I didn’t have anywhere to go and over that I was an omega." I sigh, "Do you really think Leon that this simple apology of yours can fix the days I have spent with those unbearable agonies, memories, and struggles?"
