MARIA’S POV
I couldn’t understand why or how he was apologizing. I now felt like he was right for treating me that way all along and I had decided to accept it, but then, now, he was trying hard to make himself treat me right as if he wanted something from me. I also knew that Connor McCalister could never possibly want anything from me, so what the hell was he up to?
“Look, I think you should just quit all these. I know that I am the last person you ever want to see around you, and suddenly, when I accepted it, you suddenly don’t want me to?” I said and he sighed wearily.
His eyes were pale as he glanced at me with a plea for me to automatically understand something. But I had sworn that I would never understand him because logically, that person would be the dumbest to trust him again
