Chapter 365 Accident

Charlie’ words might have been true, but they were too cold, too ruthless. I knew he must have been through a lot, probably more than I could ever understand. People abandoned early in life often had hearts riddled with holes. They did not expect kindness from others and were too scared to even hope for it, always knowing they were on their own. Was that really how it is, though? Could people truly be as unfeeling as trees and stones? Maybe they just have not felt it themselves, so they stopped hoping. When I did not respond, Charlie gave a wry smile and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm too cold to be your friend?" I met his gaze. The guy was undeniably good-looking. I took a deep breath and said firmly, "You won't end up like that. Inch will not let you be pushed around, and neither will I." He paused, surprised by my sudden leap in the conversation, and his expression hardened as he challenged, "Are you that sure of yourself?" Gazing at him earnestly, I knitted my brows.
