He said: "Believe it or not, at this time tomorrow, you will beg me."
She said: "Don't worry, at this time tomorrow, I definitely won't beg you."
He said: "All right, then I'll wait for you to come beg me, but I'll have to compromise on my terms."
As he predicted, she indeed came to beg him...
"Gem Atkinson, do you really need me to give you a guiding light?"
The man's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, "Of course."
When the man said something, he meant it.
If returning Audrey to him were like giving back a guiding light, would everything be resolved?
With his obsession for Audrey, he would surely cherish her.
But...
No, it must not happen.
Not to mention, Norma Ruby, who wished her death in prison, or Eleanor Spencer Atkinson who inexplicably had an issue with her. With these enemies on either side, no matter how much Gem loved Audrey, he could not possibly protect her.
So, she must not give Audrey back to Gem.
