Chapter 264

“Joshua planned the entire incident. He wanted to know who you would pick—Dixon or me. He placed you in a vulnerable position. “You have your own past. The feelings that both Dixon and Lance gave you in the past still existed, and it was part of your life. That was your youth, and I will not force you to forget it. You don’t need to forget those memories. You can keep those happy or sad memories, and you could share them with me whenever you are ready. Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you for loving someone so stupidly in the past. I will respect your past.” I was slightly startled. I subconsciously wanted to search for Zachary’s gaze and raise my head. He lowered his gaze at me, and his usually calm eyes were so warm. It touched my heart. It was a feeling no one had ever given me before. Zachary had always respected every fiber of my being. He would never simply make a fuss out of misunderstandings. He was entirely on my side, and he would stand in my shoes to understand my problems.
