Charlotte pulled her hand back and told him why he didn't tell people how great he was! "I always heard words against you," she said in a low voice.
"You must have heard from Mathieu," Édouard replied.
"I should not be saying this but yes. Then, your actions made me believe that you really were that kind of person," Charlotte said. "I am sorry for misjudging you," she apologized.
"Charlotte, if I wanted I could have held on to you and taken you away with me. But that would have only increased your hatred for me. I never wanted my feelings to be forced on you. That's why when I found out that you and Mathieu were crazily in love, I stepped back. I had no option, but to stay away from you. I tried not to show my anger, my frustration, and my guilt to you. I know I acted cold, but it was all for some reason," Édouard asserted while knitting his brows.
