"But back then, I didn't understand... Even if it was just memory confusion, I should not have misunderstood the woman I loved the most. Lily, I was blinded by jealousy and, whether I admit it or not, I did indeed hurt you."
Aidan Lucas's voice was husky as he looked into Lily's eyes, filled with deep remorse and the most excruciating heartache.
He was in pain, his little one should have been treated gently by this world.
She should not have been hurt by anyone, including himself.
"I'm sorry... Lily..." Aidan Lucas finally let go of all his strong pretenses.
His hand that was on Lily's lips slid down, and before she could push him away, he grabbed her soft hand.
"Aidan..."
"Don't refuse me..." he held her hand tightly, his dark pupils filled with pleading.
"I know those hurts may be unforgivable, and I'm not asking for forgiveness... Lily, I just hope you can give me another chance. Let me make amends... I'm willing, with this lifetime, to make it up to you."
