For a moment, Bella Scott wanted to turn back and ask Edward Anderson what he meant by those words. Was it because he couldn't forget her or didn't want to see her marrying someone else?
She thought that when he pushed her to Snow Collins back then, he had completely let her go.
Why did he still say such words to shake her determination?
Bella was preoccupied all the way, and when she returned to Hemandez's villa, she still felt like she was drifting, unable to focus her thoughts.
She belatedly realized that Edward's influence on her was still strong. Just one sentence from him could turn her into a tangled mess.
In the months since they broke up, she thought she had done well and completely let go of Edward. Apparently, it wasn't as simple as she thought.
Everyone saw Bella's dispirited state and guessed that it had something to do with Edward. But since Bella didn't want to say anything, no one could figure out the reason.
