I Can’t Resist My Bestfriend’s Dad のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 65

I sat alone in the parking lot, feeling completely hopeless. I let out a long, shaky sigh. “What was that?” I whispered to myself. “Jesus Christ…” I couldn’t even cry. What had I gotten myself into? What was all this? I buried my face in my hands before running my fingers through my hair. “Is this my karma for betraying my best friend?” I laughed bitterly. “If it is… then I guess I’m finally being paid back.” I closed my eyes for a moment before taking another deep breath. “No…” I slowly stood up and fixed my hair in the reflection of a nearby car window. “This time,” I muttered to myself, forcing a smile, “I’m going to handle this like an adult.” I inhaled deeply. “See? It’s not that bad.” I had barely taken a few steps when I heard his voice behind me. “Ella!” I froze. “Ella!” I laughed softly in disbelief before turning around to face him. He looked completely out of breath. “It’s not what you think,” he said immediately. “She came in and sat on my lap. What you saw was right befo

For the past few days he had been sending me countless messages, begging me to see him so we could finally talk. He had even promised that we would tell Bella the truth properly before she ever found out on her own. That promise had softened my heart a little because, no matter how much I tried to pretend otherwise, I still loved this man. I really did.When I reached the little shop inside the mall where he had sent me the location, it looked closed from the outside. I knocked lightly on the door, and a few seconds later he opened it. The moment our eyes met, he smiled with relief.“Honestly,” he said as he leaned against the doorway, “I didn’t think you would come. I thought we were over.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. We had spent days without standing this close to each other, and somehow everything still felt familiar.“I almost didn’t come,” I admitted with a small smile. “But… I’m here
