Chloe bit her lip, fell silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Why did you choose to live here?"
Jonah was silent for a long time before he sighed again, "I wanted to make amends with the rest of my life."
Chloe looked at him indifferently, "Can you ever truly make up for it?"
Everyone had made mistakes, including herself. But she had never thought about making amends because she didn't regret anything she had been through, or any decision she made.
Because even if she had to do it all over again, she would still make the same choices. She wasn't religious, but she believed everyone was guilty. What was done was done, and a mistake was a mistake. You needed to pay the price for your mistakes, you can't just make amends and repent to make things right.
Making amends? It was just a way to ease your own conscience.d2
Jonah shook his head, "I can't fully make up for it. I just hope to trade it for some prayers, hoping that you could have a better life."
Chloe smiled slightly, "Pray for me?"
"Besides this, I don't know what else I can do for you. Whether you accept it or not, it's just how I feel, it doesn't concern anyone else."
Chloe nodded, looking down at the sutra not far away, and fell silent for a moment. "I came here today to ask you one question."
"Go ahead." Jonah said indifferently.
"Why do you indulge Carolina so much?"
Jonah frowned, "Why do you ask?"
Chloe looked straight at him, her voice cold, "Don't tell me it's because she's your wife, and you've spent a lifetime with her, so it's only natural to love and spoil her. I can't interfere with that, but as I've said before, this isn't spoiling, it's indulging."
As she spoke, she glanced around the simple courtyard and sneered. "This so-called amends you're making, is it for yourself or for her?"
