Chapter 121 Shadows Of The Past, Choices Of The Heart

• “And so? That’s the past and the past should remain as the past. You had your chance with her, but you missed it. So, stop being a crybaby and let bygones be bygones!!!!!” Richard, who had gotten over the shock of Edward’s outburst yelled.
• “What? Let bygones be bygones? Should that be coming from you? Have you forgotten what you did to me in the past? You whom I saw as my best friend and ally, slept with my wife countless times and got her pregnant. You both were even planning to pin your child on me, and you were aiming for my downfall. Don’t you feel bad for what you did to me? You were the only one I trusted the most. How could you have done that to me?!!!” Edward yelled, staggering towards Richard, with hurt in his voice. Although the betrayal he got from Richard happened six years earlier, he still felt the pain and the agony in his heart. He had trusted him with his whole heart and if someone had told him he would get betrayed by Richard, he wouldn’t have believed it due to the bond they shared. Sometimes, betrayal comes from the people we least expected. Upon hearing this, Richard, who was ready to put up a fight with Edward calmed down and guilt washed all over him. His eyes were fixed on the ground, unable to look Edward in the eyes.
• “See, I know I have hurt you in the past and I sincerely apologize for that. I shouldn’t have done what I did, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me” Richard said remorsefully, with sincerity in his voice. He knew he had stabbed Edward in the heart and shouldn’t have betrayed him in such a way. Since he disappeared back then six years ago, he had been looking for the chance to atone for his mistakes and beg for Edward’s forgiveness, but he hadn’t had the chance since he reappeared as they had always been at daggers drawn. He sincerely loved Edward no doubt, although his friendship with him started as a lie and deceit.
