He knew that he had forced her to flee in such a manner.
At this moment, her voice echoed over and over in the carriage, each word gouging at his heart.
Shattered, it was completely shattered.
And when he looked back at himself in the mirror yesterday, practicing over and over, he found it laughable.
He wanted to say, "Charlotte, this is the first birthday I am celebrating after my parents' death. Consider it a rebirth; this reborn man will from now on be yours, only yours."
He wanted to tell her he was sorry, "Sorry, I failed to protect our child!"
He wanted to ask her, "Can I use the rest of my days to earn the words 'forgive me'?"
He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but sadly, she never intended to give him the chance. All his words, he only spoke to himself.
She didn't want him anymore, which was a cruel reality!
