Every word she says feels like a knife slicing through his heart reminding him of when he left her. That he shouldn't have left her. Because if he didn't, Belle doesn't have only Alex who got her back but also him.
He can never be Alex in her life but he can be somebody else. He could take a position in her life and in her heart that might not be able to match Alex's position but no one else can. Only him.
But he didn't because he left her.
"I'm sorry," He said dejectedly, making Belle surprised.
"What?" She asked confused until she realized what might be going on in his mind. Her eyes widen, "No," Then she turns to face him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. It's just…" Belle trailed off and sighed.
"I am just stating why I chose to go away with him for the past months. I'm sorry…" She said remorsefully.
But she only got an amused smile from Arthur.
"Why are you smiling like that?" She asked with a frown.
