Chapter 334
Seeing the clear disgust in Skylar’s eyes, Christopher’s face stiffened. He’d previously thought she hated him for his infidelity, but now, her hatred felt far deeper, causing a stabbing pain in his heart.
“I saw your Instagram post. The IP address indicated this location,” Skylar said. She had blocked his number. He’d tried to find her at Gardner Group, but she hadn’t been to work in days. The more she rejected him, the more he regretted his actions and dwelled on their beautiful past. In high school, she’d been his whole world. But in college, surrounded by new people, he’d become infatuated with the socialite, Maisy, temporarily losing his way. He couldn't understand why he'd betrayed Skylar or taken her devotion for granted. He deeply regretted it.
Skylar suddenly recalled her careless Instagram post after a joyful night at the beach with Joe. She hadn’t expected Christopher to see it. He felt like a lingering ghost.
“Skye, I know you came to Korel City alone. I misunderstood you, thinking you were with someone else. It was narrow-minded of me to assume that because I did wrong, you would too. No one can replace what we had. Please forgive me. I’ve realized my mistakes and will never hurt you again,” Christopher pleaded humbly, his eyes filled with deep affection. He continued, “I’ve saved money. We could leave Jipsburg City. If you like it here, we can live and work here. I’ll buy a house for us. Skye, remember our dream of owning a home—one you could decorate however you wanted?”
Skylar’s face remained emotionless; only coldness showed in her eyes. Christopher panicked, resorting to their shared past dreams—simple, pure, and beautiful.
After his lengthy speech, Skylar found it amusing. Where did he get such confidence? The gentle sea breeze made the location enjoyable, but Christopher had tainted it.
“If you’d come to reminisce a few months ago, I might have believed you. Unfortunately, Christopher, you’re filthy inside and out. When you cheated on me with Maisy, you should have foreseen our end. Stop wasting your energy playing the faithful lover. Use your brain instead of being foolish,” Skylar said, her face emotionless as she tore through his facade.
His face turned ashen. He knelt before her, the hot sand burning his knees. He was terrified of losing her.
“I cheated because Maisy seduced me. She made me lose myself. Everyone makes mistakes, but they’re different. Skye, I only made one mistake. I’ve regretted it every day, slapping myself awake and cursing myself in the mirror for hurting you. Forgive me. I know I was wrong. If you don’t believe me, take out your anger on me. Hit me! Hit my face! Only then will I feel better,” Christopher exclaimed.
