Chapter 35

      Bethel's Pov:

"Ryan" I called tenderly, still standing behind him.

He kept mute and next, I went to stand in front of him.

"Fine! I'm sorry, okay? I promise you, I'll stay away from Jackson. I'll never see him or talk to him ever again. I'll avoid him like you asked me to. And...I promise, I'll never do anything to make you mad again. Just forgive me this once" I rushed my words, not thinking twice.

Did I just say I'll never do anything to make him mad again?

He kept silent for a while and finally stood up with his laptop and surprisingly, he started towards the door.

What? Is he really walking away?

I rushed to him immediately and held him by the wrist, making him stop.

"Come on, Ryan; I said I'm sorry" I said with a sting of conscience and he slowly took his eyes to my hand on his wrist.
