Chapter 615 Things We Never Said
Dawn had no words.
“Leon, you jerk! Put me down!”

The handsome man and the feisty, beautiful woman drew everyone’s attention as they passed by. Some people even whistled, making the moment feel louder and more dramatic.
When they turned the corner, Dawn clearly saw Anna grabbing the man’s ears with both hands. And she wasn’t being gentle.
Dawn felt worried for her. Leon must spoil Anna a lot. Otherwise, she would never do that in public.
She turned around, ready to sit down, but suddenly sensed something.
Dawn looked up and crashed straight into the man’s deep, steady gaze.
Her heart was squeezed by an invisible hand and then started beating faster.
She med it on the alcohol. Dawn picked up her ss, walked over calmly, and said, “Mr. Jackson. Long time no see.” *
Actually, it hadn’t been that long.
It hadn’t even been a month since their encounter in Hedonia.
“Long time no see.”
Ethan swallowed. The emotion in his eyes was clear and raw. His low voice cut through the noisy crowd and reached her ears. “Want to talk?”
Behind the bar, there was a fire exit with a back door. It wasn’t decorated. The iron railing was rusted from rain.
In the distance, a crescent <i>moon </i>hung in the sky. No stars. It felt cold and lonely.
Not caring if it was dirty, Dawn sat <i>on </i>the stairs.
The bottle was beside her.
The wine ss sat warm in her palm.
She stared at the night view. Her eyes looked hazy, like the night had colored them. “Do you remember when we were kids, you used to take me onto the roof to watch the moon.”
She was the one who insisted on going.
But once they got on the roof, she got scared.
He had said to her, “It’s okay. I got you. If you fall, I’ll catch you.”
“Will you die from falling?”
“No. <b>I </b>trained inbat; two floors is nothing for me.”

Later, they almost fell. Will got furious. He made Ethan stand for three hours as his punishment, but he didn’t me Dawn. Instead, heforted Dawn carefully, fearing that she might have been scared.
She only understoodter. The way Will looked at her, there was guilt in it.
That guilt came from her mother. Not from anything she had done.
Thinking back to childhood, Ethan smiled too.
“We were kids. Didn’t know any better.”
If he had understood back then, he wouldn’t have gone overseas. He would have stayed and protected his girl.
Dawn sniffed lightly and didn’t continue that topic. She turned to him. “Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?”
Her eyes seemed to say–Go on. I’m ready to hear it.
Ethan stared at her face. After a long time, his lips moved.
“…”
He started but seemed lost on where to begin.
He gave a small, mocking smile and lowered his eyes.
“I had prepared a lot to say. But now that I see you, it feels like those words aren’t enough. If I say them, they’ll just sound like
excuses.”
Dawn didn’t react much. She just took another sip of her drink.
Ethan continued, “Maybe <i>you </i>don’t know this. I’ve loved you much earlier than you think.”
Dawn smiled. “What? You already fell for me when I was underage?”
“Close.”
Teenage is the time when feelings start growing. Back then, he only saw her.
But he knew it wasn’t right. He knew she was still young.
So, he held himself back.
He told himself that little girl was his sister.
Back then, Dawn talked about her uncle all the time. Ethan didn’t want to admit he was jealous.
Dawn drank again. Surprisingly, she felt more calm.
She looked at his handsome face and joked lightly. “Then you should have confessed to me earlier. Like when I first started college. If you had confessed then, I might have said yes.”
“What about now?”
“Hm?”

“If I confess now, does <b>it </b>still work?”
Dawn fell silent.
She didn’t expect that. She froze for a moment.
They had already been through so much. Talking about confessions now felt meaningless.

“I know you still can’t let go of those things,” Ethan said softly. “If you really want to avoid seeing my dad, then do so. I won’t contact him. We’ll live our life. You, me, and Dulce. Just the three of us. A family of three.”
Ethan held her hand. It was cold. He wrapped his fingers tighter around it. “Dawn<b>, </b>can we do this?”
<i>Can </i><i>we </i><i>do </i><i>this</i><i>? </i>
The answer was right on her lips, but she didn’t say it.
Something shed through her eyes. She pulled her hand back. “You’ve told me this countless times.”
People are strange. The first time you hear something, your emotions explode. The second time, you feel less. By the third time, it just feels like nothing.
But if the other person stops saying itpletely, you feel disappointed.
Dawn finished the drink in her ss in one go. She looked up. The light in her eyes gathered into one sharp point, shining in the dark night. “Ethan, do you really think we can be together like nothing ever happened?”
