Chapter 88: Who bullied you?

Chapter Eighty-Eight

"I'm… I am… Fck! I'm sorry, I accused you wrongly." He finally whispered. 

Asli didn't know what to say. He must have forced every ounce of pride aside just to get the apology out.

However, Asli didn't know whether she deserved it. That was funny: she had craved those words but she wasn't exactly innocent.
