...
Michelle Campbell froze, he said he was afraid...
This man, who never showed weakness in front of her, was now saying he was afraid...
For so long, this was the first time she had heard Samuel Noah Jackson mention these two words.
She had originally thought that the words "afraid" simply did not exist in his dictionary.
Yet now, he was holding her and confessing… he was afraid… The always dominant and imposing Samuel, who stood tall in front of her and everyone else, was now revealing such a vulnerable side to her.
It turns out that the seemingly invincible Samuel Noah Jackson also had moments when he was afraid.
And what he was afraid of was her leaving...
Thinking of this, Michelle's tears began to fall without restraint.
"I'm sorry, Samuel Noah Jackson..." she said with a choked voice, and as she spoke, she reached out to hug Samuel's back, her face filled with guilt.
