Chapter 23 I Love You

• "Enrique, are you really not going to let me in? The company arranged a condominium for me in Salinsburgh, but I didn't go there. After dinner at the hotel, I got your address from Zoey and came straight here. I've been waiting for you, standing here since around nine in the evening. Enrique, you can't be this heartless. I know how wrong I was before and how much I hurt you. However, you have to understand that I never betrayed you and never betrayed our love. I've always loved you, and I've always thought about you and tried to reach out to you. I brought my luggage with me. Let me in. Let me stay here. We can start over, okay?" Madeline looked at Enrique, tears streaming down her face.
• Seeing Madeline like this, Enrique suddenly felt a sharp pang in his heart. Walking over, he took out his keys, unlocked the shabby door, and turned on the light. Then, he pointed to the crude and messy room, saying to Madeline, "You said you want to stay here, right? Fine, take a look. Do you think you can really live here?"
• Madeline walked to the doorway and peered inside. Seeing the place, which resembled a dwelling for refugees or beggars, she couldn't help but furrow her brows in surprise and disappointment.
