158. His Apology!

~

She paused, her shoulders tensing up.

Her back was facing him, and Liam couldn't tell her expression.

He could only guess that she looked as shocked as he felt right now.

Never did he expect those words to be so easy to say.

The words which had been weighing heavily on his heart.

He'd thought it'd take decades before he would finally be able to say them.

He was sorry!

Indeed,

He shouldn't have mistreated Haley.

Of all people, he shouldn't have distrusted her.

The only people whom he trusted happened to deceive him.

His mother… his father,

And Leah!

He shouldn't have pushed Haley away when she so desperately wanted him by her side.

Now that she was pushing him away…

Liam wasn't himself!

He'd never been himself ever since he realized his mistake.

He should have protected her from his parents' bullying earlier.

If he hadn't turned a blind eye to it from the beginning, it wouldn't have led to this.

It wouldn't have led to Haley taking this measure to get his parents off her back.
