A part of him kept telling to share his secret with Edwin. In his entire life, he never shared about his secret to anyone but realizing Edwin was also the kind of guy like him, Ace deeply wanted to share it as he clearly knew Edwin would understand. Although he wanted to do it, he kept refraining himself from doing that.

After a minute, Liam called him, shouting “So, are you blackmailing me, now?”
“Blackmail? Li, please. I’m sorry for whatever that happened. But we can’t change it, right?”
