Perhaps she would not have spent so much time hesitating.
As those thoughts crossed her mind, guilt slowly appeared in her eyes. "I'm sorry..."
The moment Silas heard those apologetic words, his entire expression froze.
Immediately afterward, he pulled her deeper into his embrace and gently patted her back repeatedly while kissing the top of her head tenderly.
"What are you even apologizing for?"
His voice became low and emotional. "If anyone should apologize, it should be me."
He slowly closed his eyes for a moment.
"I was not there when you suffered so much. A part of the blame for everything that happened to you belongs to me as well."
Then he gently kissed her forehead.
Ivy's eyes became slightly moist.
At that moment, she truly felt that she must have accumulated incredible luck in order to have a husband like Silas.
A man willing to wait for her for over six months without complaining even once.
