Sylvia's POV:
Flora and I were chatting happily when the matron knocked on our door. She said that someone was looking for me, and that that someone wasn't a student of the school so he could only wait outside.
I was a bit taken aback, wondering who it could possibly be. It couldn't be Rufus, since he was busy dealing with his parents. Moreover, if it was Rufus, the matron would've recognized him instantly.
But I couldn't think of anyone else other than Rufus who would come and visit me.
Confused, I shrugged and walked downstairs with her. As soon as I reached the door, I saw Shawn waiting for me at the gate.
My expression immediately darkened. I turned around, intending not to deal with him.
Unfortunately, I was too late. Shawn saw me and trotted over hurriedly. "There's something I need to tell you."
I shook him off and pursed my lips unhappily. "We have nothing to talk about."
I tried to walk away again but Shawn was a stubborn man. He grabbed my wrist and hissed, "Please give me a chance. I just need to say something."
"Let me go," I said icily. "Unless you want me to break your hand."
Shawn withdrew his hand sulkily and he lowered his gaze listlessly. "Look. I'm sorry, okay? I've wronged you for years."
I crossed my arms over my chest and said expressionlessly, "If you came here just to apologize, then what's the point? You already apologized last time."
Did this bastard really think that apologizing twice would make up for all the hurt he had caused me these years? If so, then he really was an idiot.
I wanted nothing more than for him to just stay away from me. It'd be best if I never saw him again.
Whenever I saw him, the painful memories of those insults and abuses to my mother would resurface.
