Chapter 5 +25 BONUS Chapter 5 Before I could figure things out, Callum said in a low voice, "Eliana isn't the little girl I grew up with anymore. Perhaps things had already changed by the time mine and Anthony's family were falsely accused. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were doing their best to get help for us, but Eliana went to report us and cut ties with us. "I've always kept Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan's kindness to us in mind, and I kept telling myself that Eliana was just too young at the time. It was natural for her to be afraid in a situation like that. I didn't realize that she was no longer the kind, innocent little girl she once was." Callum paused and pushed me away so that he could look into my eyes. "Sophie, perhaps the heavens are giving me a hint. They gave me a chance to hear your thoughts. Otherwise, who knows how many misunderstandings there would have been between us?" I couldn't help but sigh as I saw the redness in his eyes. I looked into his eyes and asked seriously, "If you hadn't heard my thoughts, would you have chosen to believe Eliana or me?" Callum didn't answer immediately. He thought for a moment. "If Eliana could prove that everything she said was true, I might have believed what she said. However, I would have wanted to communicate with you. "After all, we're the ones who are going to spend our entire lives together. We have to trust each other." I couldn't help feeling disbelieving. Would things have been different if I'd been willing to open my mouth and explain things to him in my past life? "You can hear all my thoughts now, but I don't know what you're thinking. Isn't that unfair?" I demanded, looking disgruntled. Callum chuckled lightly when he saw me looking angrily at him. He raised three fingers and said, "In order to make things fair, I promise that I'll be true to my heart, communicate a lot with you, and do my best to make sure that we reach an agreement on all aspects." I couldn't help laughing out loud when I saw how unusually playful he was being. In my past life, I had assumed that husbands and wives would know each other's thoughts, but that had been ridiculously prideful of me. That was why I had expected Callum to understand me when things happened and why I did not want to talk about I hadn't realized that by doing so, I missed the chance for us to communicate properly. After that, we had gradually grown apart. Luckily, things were different now that I was back. At that thought, I took Callum's hand. "Since you've made such a sincere promise, I'll choose to believe you this once. However, let's stay away from Eliana in the future. "I can honestly say that I've never done anything against her, but she keeps stirring up conflict between us. No matter what her intention is, I can't get along peacefully with someone like that." Callum nodded quickly. "I would have done the same thing even if you hadn't mentioned it. I've repaid the debt I owe to the Sullivans. 1/2 Chapter 5 +25 BONUS "Eliana is like my younger sister, so I thought I should take care of her from time to time. However, I won't forgive her for trying to attack those close to me." Callum pulled me into his arms once more. He was so strong that it felt as if he would crush me. "Honey, the night is so beautiful. Let's not talk about irrelevant people. We should go to bed early." Before I could answer, I felt a warmth on my face, and I slowly let myself sink into blissful oblivion.
