Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Summer Frost POV “Why did you call me out here?” I was trying by all means to play hard to get t even though I was elated deep inside me. “Nothing…I just wanted to see your face,” I scoffed unbelievably. It was annoying but cute though. I mean, I blushed. “Do you have so much time to waste?” “Not really. Why don’t we take a walk together, hmm?” He tucked his hands inside his pockets and shrugged. “I was bored, anyway. So, why not?” I shrugged, excited that we were finally walking together after several years. We set out for the stroll after he locked his car. The atmosphere was cool, perfect for the mood. “How is your Mom?” I asked out of the blue moon without thinking about it, and he looked at me with a surprised expression on. I was expecting that reaction because even I was shocked to have asked that kind of question. “Hmm… She’s there,” He shrugged, and I slowly nodded it was surprising that he had not talked about his mom’s surgery in a while. Maybe he already got another surgeon, who knows? “I have something to talk about with you, Summer,” He suddenly stopped walking, and I nodded for him to go ahead. For the next few seconds, he stared at me wordlessly with a look on his face that explained he was probably thinking of something to say. He finally held my hand, and my heart flustered. “Wh… what are you doing?” My breath hitched momentarily and my heart pounded against my chest as we held hands. “1. I want to tell you something.” He looked extremely nervous which had me worried about him for a second. Did something happen to him?
“What is it? Are you ok?” I hated to ask him that question, but I was so worried that I failed to hide it from him. “Why don’t we go out on a date, hmm?” He flashed a smile at me. I knew that was not what he wanted to talk about. He wouldn’t have looked so nervous if he was only going to ask me out on a date “Why should I go out on a date with you?” I yanked his hand off and stepped away from him. *You must be thinking that we are close now because I accepted your gifts from Lisa, yeah?” I rolled my eyes and tucked my hair behind my ear. “I know we are not close… At least not yet,” His reply and his charming eyes piercing into mine made my heart miss beats. *Summer… I know I’ve been a jerk all these years. I should never have treated you like that—” “And you think I’m going to throw everything into the ocean and pretend it never happened?” I cut him off. “No, you can’t do that. I won’t ever allow you to do that even if you ever want to. I was wrong, and I deserved to be punished. Summer…” He paused as he held my hands. My body and mind were conflicting. One wanted me to push him away, but the other way enjoying the touch and didn’t want to ever let go. In the end, I had to give in to my body because my heart wanted this too. “I don’t know the right words to say now, but I know I will do better this time. I’m not asking you to accept me right away. We can go out on dates, hang out together, and who knows, we might work out again. No… I mean, I will make this work again,” He held on firmly to my hand like he never wanted to 11:22 Wed, 12 Jun F. Chapter 51 let go, and I would be lying if I said that my heart had not given in to this already. I really wanted him in my life. “Xander- $75%E “I know I don’t deserve it, but can you please do me this favor? I promise to do better this time. I
won’t ever hurt you again,” He looked into my eyes sincerely and gave me his word. I wanted to say yes to him right away and start a new life, but as the thought of Hunter crossed my mind, I knew this would be the biggest mistake I’d ever make. Mr. Miller will never back down in trying to get me married to Hunter. “Xander… Do you have any idea what I went through that night? Have you ever imagined the pain I went through? Do you still remember how I went on my knees and pleaded with you just so you could listen to me but you never did?” I didn’t want to talk about it because there was no point holding on to those painful memories since I couldn’t bring myself to hate him, but I just had to. I needed that as a shield. Summer- “And now w you an are here asking me to give you a chance like it never happened? What happened, Xander? You insisted that I cheated even after many years. Did you change your mind?” Well, I was really curious about that “Can we not talk about that, please?” He pleaded with me, but I scoffed. “Why? Why don’t you want to talk about it? The last time I remember, you reminded me how I cheated on you. So, why are you acting like nothing happened now?” He ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly and groaned. “Summer, can we “Why don’t you stop showing your face to me, Xander? Why don’t you just leave and never show your face to me again just like you did six years ago?” Tears streamed down my cheeks not because I was mad at him. If only he didn’t do that to me then, I wouldn’t have been in this situation now. “It’s already hard to get over you, and I’m not in my best for now, so can you please stop making things even more difficult for me?” I desperately wanted to cry out to him, but I held myself back because I didn’t want to look pathetic. my house again, please,” And with that, I turned around and started to leave when he spoke up. “Don’t come to my This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
