Thud, thud, thud.
Ethan repeatedly banged his head against the floor, apologizing so fervently that the entire room seemed to vibrate with each impact. I couldnât help but sit up on the bed, alarmed by his intense behavior.
âIâm sorry! Iâm so sorry, Lilith! I doubted you! I was so full of suspicion because I couldnât trust you! And if I had just spoken up in the first place, none of this would have happened!â@@novelbin@@
âI-I understand, Young Lord Ethan, so please get up! I⦠Iâm really fine. If anything, it was my own foolish misunderstanding that led to all thisâ¦â
âNo, itâs entirely my fault! Iâm nothing but a selfish fool, only thinking of myself, and Iâve wronged you in a way I can never repay! Ignorance is no excuse for what Iâve done!â
âN-no⦠If you put it that way, then I should be the one apologizing! This all happened because I didnât know you had no intentions of finding a fiancée. Iâm the one who should apologizeâ¦â
âNo, Lilith, you have nothing to apologize for... This is all on meâ¦â
âNo, if weâre assigning blame, then Iâm at least a hundred times more at fault than youâ¦â
Each time I tried to lift him from the floor, he stubbornly lowered his head again, as if determined to continue. Even though I felt more responsible, he wouldnât allow me to apologize, insisting on taking all the blame himself.
âNo, Lilith! This is my fault! You have nothing to apologize for!â
