Chapter 494 Why did Ethan have to do this to me? I had decided to let go, so why did he keep showing up and hauntinglike this? I crouched down and hugged my knees as I cried. Just then, a large, warm hand gently patted my shoulder.
"Evelyn, it's okay." I looked up to find Marc had caught up to me. His eyes were full of concern as he watched me. "Don't cry. He's not worth it." Through my sobs, I managed to choke out. "But I can't let go... I just can't..." Marc sighed and pulledinto his arms. "You silly goose. Forgetting someone takes time, but you can't let sorrow consyou.

With that thought, I smiled through my tears. "Thank you, Marc. Your words gavethe courage to start over." Marc flashed a brilliant smile. "You're my angel. If you're happy, I'm happy."
