Back in Harbor City, Summer had cast a shadow over their marriage almost from the very beginning.

Eventually, Evan had devoted all his attention to Summer and the twins.

How could he possibly know what his own wife liked or what habits she had?

Evan fell silent.

Her words left him feeling helpless.

Having his past mistakes thrown back in his face was every bit as painful as he had expected.

Still, if Stella wanted to hold them over him for the rest of his life, he would accept it.

He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

“You must be exhausted.”

He knew how difficult the journey had been.

With Aaron and Felix searching everywhere for Stella, Seymour had been forced to take back roads the

entire way.

She had spent three full days trapped in a car.

Seymour kept complaining about her temper, but how could she possibly have been in a good mood?

Anyone would have lost their mind after being cooped up for that long.

Stella struggled against him.

“Let go of me.”

Evan only tightened his arms around her.

“No. I missed you.”

More than he could ever put into words.

No one knew how he had made it through this time apart from her.

She had occupied his every thought.

Only after losing her had Evan finally understood how unbearable it could be.

Had he known that protecting Summer in Harbor City would destroy his relationship with Stella so completely, he never would have done it.

It would not have mattered that Summer had been Steven’s wife.

He still would have chosen Stella.

“I’m telling you one last time. Let go.”

Unable to break free, Stella’s voice turned glacial.

But Evan only held her tighter, completely ignoring the warning in her tone.

“I honestly couldn’t think of any other way,” he admitted.

“You shame…”

“Shameless? I know.”

He cut her off before she could finish.

He knew clinging to her like this was shameless.

But he truly could not think of anything else.

“I know I have no shame left. But if this is the only way I can get you back, then that’s what I’ll do.”

Had there been any other way, he would not have resorted to this.

“Do you really think you can get me back?”

Her voice grew even colder.

Get her back?

Had he ever thought about getting her back when he discarded her?

Now he suddenly wanted her again?

He could not throw her away whenever it suited him, then expect to reclaim her the moment he changed

his mind.

Nothing in this world worked that way.

“I know you won’t forgive me,” Evan said. “And I know I can’t sweet-talk you into coming back. So this time, I’m giving up whatever pride I have left.”

In all the years Stella had spent beside him, she had never heard Evan speak so openly.

Even when he had tried to coax her in the past, there had always been a trace of impatience in his voice.

But now…

Stella laughed.

“People have to answer for what they do. They have to live with the consequences.”

You could not hurt someone and simply assume there would always be a way to undo it.

Once you made that choice, you had to be prepared to lose them for good.

Otherwise, forcing your way back into their life would only cause them more pain.

“I don’t want to live with the consequences,” Evan said. “Just this once, let me be shameless.”

Stella had no words.

Evan truly had lost his mind.

The more he missed her, the more reckless he became.

After learning what she had been going through in Eirden, he had nearly abandoned everything to find

her himself.

Fortunately, Seymour had managed to bring her out.

Had Seymour failed to get her out of Eirden, Evan knew with absolute certainty that he would have abandoned the entire Black Sea operation and gone after her himself.

Only when he felt the exhaustion in Stella’s body did he finally release her.
