Knew that Aldana Candi, no matter what happened, would never leave his side. Only then could he pity his rival, show some tolerance, and give him a little charitable pity.
Aldana Candi said flatly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Philip Shaw maneuvered to stand in front of her, bent down, placed his hands on her shoulders, and stopped her from moving forward.
Aldana Candi heard him ask, "I've come all this way to find you, do you really feel nothing at all?"
Aldana Candi raised her head to look at him. A hint of confusion seemed to flash in her eyes. After a moment, she said slowly, "You actually didn't have to come..."
Philip Shaw interrupted her veiled words, "I'm not here for Ellen Candi."
"..." Aldana Candi moved her lips but did not make a sound.
"I've already paid back everything I owed her," Philip Shaw said, "I know you won't believe me, but I've come this time to take you back."
