This question seemed to be a bit difficult for Edward Anderson, and it took him a while to answer, "Whether I love you or not, it won't change the fact that we can't be together."
So, her question was not important, and neither was the answer.
Bella Scott agreed with Edward's statement, saying, "You're right."
Could the ups and downs of their relationship over the years be summarized in a single word, "love"? Perhaps their relationship had transcended romance, and also merged with a sense of kinship.
Regardless of how complex their past was, they had already broken up.
During the rest of the meal, no one spoke, and there was no more eye contact as they all had their own thoughts.
Sometimes Maggie Lauper looked at Edward and noticed he was lost in thought. On Bella's side, she seemed carefree and enjoyed her meal.
Overall, the atmosphere during the meal was not bad. Besides the initial stiffness between Maggie and Bella, everything was fine.
