130 Repentance

"It's Rachael we are talking about," Emma smiled. "There was a time when you knew her better than I did, do you think she is someone who holds a grudge?" 

When Oliver did not say anything, she added, "If she says that she has forgiven you, it's true and genuine. And why wouldn't she? She has found someone she loves, why would she continue holding a grudge on someone from her past?" 

Pinching the space between his brows, he sighed, "I wish she hadn't forgiven me." Maybe he would have felt better if she had just shoved him aside and gave him a cold treatment. If she had lashed out on him or slapped him. 

Her calm and composed behavior multiplied the guilt in his heart. 

"When are you returning back?" Emma inquired. Though everything was already settled between him and Rachael, she still didn't wish him to linger around for a long time.
