Chapter 45 I'll Wait for You

• "I'm sorry, Ben. I know what I did was wrong. I was too selfish. I shouldn't have just cared about myself and not taken you into consideration at all. But I was too young back then. I didn't know what I needed the most. I only wanted to strive for my dreams and goals, but I neglected what I wanted the most. Ben, it's been three years. In my heart, I completely understand that you hate me to death and you don't want me anymore. Those three years in America without you made me figure out that what I want the most is actually you," Mia Shield said while crying and tugging on Ben Walton's hand.
• Seeing Mia Shield like that, Ben Walton was distressed by it, but he also hated it. He looked at Mia Shield numbly before finally saying, "Mia Shield, if you knew it would come to this, you wouldn't have acted how you did. In this world, there's no medicine you can take after you regret something. I'm not necessarily the thing that you want the most. For you, what you've lost is always the best, while what you currently have is rubbish. You had me at first, but I was rubbish to you. You wanted to chase after your future, and you thought that was the best thing for you. Now, you've achieved your dream. You have money and status, so you think these are garbage, and love is actually what you want instead. Mia Shield, I don't know what I should say. I don't want to hate you, but I can't do it. Like what Jamie said earlier, she said you're my woman. I would also want you to still be my woman, but are you? You're no longer my woman. You abandoned me and left long ago. Ever since the moment you left, you were no longer my woman. There isn't any kind of relationship between you and me anymore. Mia Shield, I think it's best if we keep our distance because when I see you, I can't help but think of the pain and the hurt that you left me with these past few years, and I can't help but hate you. Therefore, we should stop meeting. This is better for both of us. You live the life you want to, and I will drift along with mine."
• When Ben Walton finished speaking, he opened the door from the balcony and walked out.
