"What do you mean by you want to come clean? Do you have something you want to tell me?" Ivy furrowed her eyebrows wondering what Joshua wanted to tell. The sudden change in his behavior had been startling. Just a few minutes ago, he had been all loving and caring, and now he had become serious as though he was about to give someone a death sentence.
"Yes. It's about my past." Joshua answered after thinking for a while. He was hesitant to reveal all that he had hidden deep in his mind and body. But he knew if he had to proceed to have a good future without any remorse, it was best he told her everything about him, of course omitting the facts related to her father.
Seeing Joshua silent as he tried to arrange his messy thoughts, Ivy pressed slightly on his hands. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me now. I'll wait. You don't have to force yourself."
