Semua Bab A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness : Bab 141 - Bab 150

Petty's gaze was light, carrying only a polite smile, yet Heath still caught a fleeting flicker of emotion within her eyes.His heart began to pound wildly once more. This was the woman he had yearned for for two years, his greatest love.For a moment, holding her hand, he couldn't bear to let go. Petty's gaze swept over him, chillingly. Only then did Heath awkwardly withdraw his hand, apologizing profusely.Soon after, Petty excused herself from the elderly gentleman and went to greet others alone. Heath quickly concluded his own conversation and followed closely.He finally cornered Petty in a secluded spot. "Miss Neeson, might I have a few minutes of your time?"Heath finally mustered his courage. Now, with only the two of them, Heath could finally study her.Two years had passed, and her appearance had subtly changed.He couldn't pinpoint exactly how, but her whole demeanor seemed softer, less sharp than before, with an added touch of feminine grace. Heath stared, entranced.Petty

Prisley was too preoccupied comforting the crying little girl to notice Heath had walked up beside them.When the little girl, tears still in her eyes, stared intently in one direction and smiled, Prisley turned her head to find Heath standing behind them.Heath softly greeted, "Hi, Petty, we meet again." He crouched down, meeting the little girl's eyes at her level."Is this your daughter? What's her name?"Before Prisley could answer, the little girl chirped in a tiny voice, "My name’s Lucy, and I'm two years old."She gave Heath a sweet smile. Her light blue eyes, in particular, were exactly like his own. When she smiled, her eyes sparkled like midnight stars."My name is Heath, and I'm your mommy's friend." Heath tried to soften his voice, speaking carefully to the girl.Prisley watched Heath silently, not interjecting, seemingly wishing to avoid further entanglement with him.Heath sensed her coolness and shifted his attention back to the little girl."Lucy, you live here, don't

Prisley was in her office, conducting a video conference, when her secretary announced that a Mr. Rynn was visiting.She didn't pay close attention, merely gesturing for him to enter.When Heath appeared before her, she froze for a split second, then quickly refocused on the video conference, gesturing for him to wait aside.Heath wore a crisp, custom-tailored suit, as impeccably handsome as he was two years ago, impossible to look away from.Only now, his gaze held more composure, and a touch of melancholy. He walked closer step by step, settling into a chair across her desk.He watched Prisley's video conference with an air of calm.The video conference was drawing to a close. Prisley quickly made the final arrangements and ended the meeting.When she turned, Heath's gaze rested on her face for a long time, unwavering. Prisley's heart gave a leap, and her breathing grew shallow."Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Rynn?" She tried to maintain her pretense of not knowing him

Prisley's foot twisted, and she stumbled to the ground, watching helplessly as the car hurtled towards her daughter.In that instant, all she could do was scream a gut-wrenching cry. She was powerless.The car barreled forward, seemingly hitting several people. Pedestrians around them shrieked and scattered.Prisley ignored the pain, scrambling to her feet, shedding her high heels, and sprinting towards her daughter.Her mind was a complete blank. The rogue vehicle crashed into a flower bed, finally grinding to a halt.Several pedestrians rushed forward, dragged the driver out, and pinned him to the ground. Prisley paid no mind to any of this; she ran straight for her daughter.The sight of that little red dress peeking out from under the car's wheel ruthlessly clutched at her heart.When she reached her daughter, she saw Lucy held tightly by Heath, shielded beneath him, seemingly unharmed.Looking at Heath, he lay prone, protecting Lucy, with blood slowly spreading beneath him.One o

Prisley's heart hammered in her chest. She struggled to control her expression, allowing only a faint smile to grace her lips, but her gaze was fixed on the person, scrutinizing..."Prisley, you're here too? This is wonderful!"The moment he spoke, tears streamed down Prisley's face.She stretched out her arms and walked towards him. "Spencer, you finally remember me..."Spencer took her in his arms, looking down at her, laughing and crying against his chest. After a good while, Heath's dry cough interrupted their intimate moment.Spencer then remembered the purpose of his visit. He turned to Heath."Heath, are you feeling better? I was on a business trip these past few days and only rushed back late last night."Prisley looked from Spencer to Heath, surprised. Heath merely nodded, saying nothing.Spencer explained, "After you disappeared, Heath insisted on coming to the hospital to see me regularly. At that time, my memory hadn't made much progress either."Prisley gazed intently at
