Chapter 38 I Will Wait For You

• "I'm so sorry, Enrique. It's all my fault for being so selfish. I should have been more considerate of you and your desires. I was too young to truly understand what I wanted in life, so I ended up blindly pursuing my dreams instead of focusing on my true desires. I completely understand if you now despise me. After spending three years in Anglandur, I finally realized how much I have always wanted you. You are my one true love," Madeline confessed tearfully, clutching Enrique's hand tightly.
• Enrique's heart clenched with both anger and pity as he witnessed Madeline's tears. He stared at her blankly before responding, "If you knew back then that you might regret it, then why did you do it? There's no point in crying over spilled milk. Besides, who's to say that I am the one you truly want? To you, the grass always seems greener on the other side, right? You used to have me, but you discarded me like a used tissue paper. Building your future seemed like a better option at the time. Now that you have money and power, you no longer desire those things. Now you claim to want your so-called 'one true love'. I don't know what to say. I don't want to hate you, but I can't help it. When Zoey said you were my woman, I wanted nothing more than for that to be true, but the truth is that you are no longer mine. You stopped belonging to me the moment you left me behind. There is nothing between us anymore. It would be better for both of us to stay away from each other. You should go live the life you desire, and I will continue on my own path from now on."
• Enrique walked back into the house after his heartfelt speech.
