Renee was tearful and nodded repeatedly. "It's my fault, I was bad, I was evil. I will never be like that again."
Even she despised herself. "Luke, don't you really mind it?"
"What if I do?"
Renee’s face was pale instantly. Although knowing that Luke should mind her dirty past, it was still painful to hear he said he mind it.
She bit her lip. "Even if you mind, well, go ahead. I mean, time can't go back."
Luke hugged her with strength. "I'm lying. I'm just saying, what can I do even if I mind it? After all, things have already happened.
What's more, I am not part of your history, I knew you since you were saved from the sea, you were a timid girl who hated darkness and had no courage to kill fish...
Maybe you used to be awful. But I believe that you can change yourself. If you continued such evilness, I would really mind."
Renee was moved yet shocked to hear Luke’s words. Probably, she had been scolded to death if she told her story to a stranger.
Luke was a careful and considerate listener. He captured Renee's helplessness in her growing up, he knew that Renee committed mistakes not fully out of her wills.
It was Carmen who gave Renee the toxic education to make her wrongly realized that she was correct. As time passing by, it formed her a deep bad concept.
Only after suffering a lot did Renee understand how evil she was. Every adversity she suffered was the paying back for her wrong doing.
Luke was unable to hate Renee. In his eyes, even if Renee was guilty for Tracey, she was a special girl.
She grew up being spoiled, but she could beg for people's help when Carmen was in the jail, which meant that Renee was filial.
For saving Leo, she also tired her best. She did many things without hesitation for her family, without caring if she would have pains or not.
She had so many merits! If she determined to change herself, that would be the best ending.
"Luke!" Renee threw herself into his arms to cry. She was turned into an ordinary girl from a princess and stained dirty in this hard way. Fortunately, she met a man who understood her and cherished her, willing to wipe off the muddy spots for her.
"Don't cry. Let the past pass. Don't think about it anymore. I can't change your past, but I can participate in your future." Luke gently patted her on the back.
"Yes." Renee kept crying hard.
Vera came in with bowls, "Why are you crying so sadly? What's wrong with you?"
"Granny, I'm happy. I'm really happy."
"Good to know you are happy! Come on, try my noodles. I don’t have too many tasty ingredients, but I hope you don’t mind.” Vera's bright smiles shone in Renee and Luke’s eyes.
"How can I mind? Granny, I grew up in the mountains too, your noodles make me feel home.” Luke said.
Renee wiped her eyes, coming out from Luke’s bosom. His chest was drenched by her tears.
"I hope this is the last time I see you cry. Don' cry in the future."
"Yes." Renee saw the prints on Luke's chest. She never felt relaxed like now.
