He added, “Scarlett, we’re broken souls. Fate has brought us together and our lives are intertwined, and

my life is not mine alone but shared with you. We’re meant to be together.”

His gaze was soft. “Here.” He pointed at his chest. “You’re the only one who has ever been here.”

I pursed my lips and let out a long sigh. We shouldn’t get sucked into the past.

Rising to my feet, I told him, “Ashton, I wish to be left alone.”

Suddenly, I realized I couldn’t bear to hate Cameron. She was my mother, and her actions stemmed from

Ashton.

If Rebecca wasn’t the one who returned to the Moore family, everything wouldn’t have happened.

Rebecca, Cameron, and Ashton were all innocent.

Everyone merely took action out of overbearing concern for their loved ones. It was a misfortune for

everyone, so even though we were all hurt in many ways, we couldn’t bring ourselves to despise each

other.

Ashton wanted to say something, but I pushed him away. We shouldn’t delve into the past or risk hating

everyone involved.

I went back in the bedroom, I locked Ashton outside.

He stood outside silently.

I didn’t know where to vent my frustration. In the end, I could only blame myself for kicking up a fuss over

nothing.

That very night, it snowed just like the weather forecast had predicted.

I sat on the balcony and watched the snow the whole night while my heart ached silently.

I knew I should move on, but the past would still haunt me when no one was around.

It was midnight when my phone started ringing incessantly. I had nodded off on the balcony. Picking my

phone up, I realized it was Joseph.

Why is he calling me at midnight?

I answered his call. Before I could say anything, he spoke hastily, “Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Fuller is at the yard of

Moore Residence. Can you please come and convince him to leave?”

Huh? Why is Ashton at the Moore Residence?

After a pause, I asked, “What happened?”

He hesitated, seemingly stumped. “Mr. Fuller wants to atone for his sins and came to the Moore

Residence. He’s been here for a few hours. It’s snowing heavily, so I’m afraid of his health.”

My nose started prickling uncomfortably as I didn’t know what to say. Some memories were best left

untouched lest they bring harm to someone else.

“Okay, I’ll be there!” I promised.

Summer was asleep. I left the villa, but there was no cab available due to the heavy snow. I could only

drive there myself.

Luckily, the roads weren’t blocked. An hour later, I arrived at Moore Residence.

The brightly lit Moore Residence stood out against the dark of the night. It was late at night, and

everyone else should be asleep by now.

When I pushed the gate open, I saw Ashton almost buried by the layers of snow as expected.

He was kneeling in front of the door. Snow had piled up on his custom-made black coat. It seemed like

he had been here for some time.

His back was straight and determined. Clearly, the snow didn’t bother him at all.

Cameron and Zachary stood at the entrance under the roof, seemingly torn.

My appearance broke the tension in the air. Cameron’s gaze landed on me. Sadness clouded her

features.

I avoided her intense gaze, I went to Ashton and stood behind him silently.

Joseph’s face lit up at my appearance, but when he realized what I intended to do, he froze instantly.

Sensing my arrival, Ashton turned and rasped, “Go back and rest.” His lips were purple and numb from

the cold by now.

I pressed my lips together, opting to ignore him.

Furrowing his brows, he looked at Joseph. “Send her back.”

Seeing this, Joseph came to me and sighed helplessly. “Mrs. Fuller, let’s go. You’re too weak to stand the

cold.”

I uttered, “I’m already here. Why would I go back now?”

At a loss for words, he blurted guiltily, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think this through.”

Quietly, he came to stand beside me.

Ashton’s face clouded over in fury.

Zachary’s gaze was full of adoration and anguish as it landed on me. The couple seemed to have aged

over the past four years.

Time was indeed capable of ruining the wonderful things in life.

“Ashton, is this how you atone for your sins?” asked Zachary. There was a hint of fury in his voice.

“Because of your selfishness, we ended up in this state. What are you doing now? Forcing our daughter

to accompany you in this weather so we’ll have no choice but to forgive you?”

Ashton’s back stiffened as he gazed at the man silently.

We had reached a point where someone would get hurt no matter what happened next.
