Chapter 778

"I understand."

Even Shane's usually handsome and mischievous face took on a serious expression. "Sage, I promised you that I wouldn't let my brother find you, but I failed.

"I also intentionally misled them about the nature of our relationship before, which caused them to have a negative impression of you. These were reckless mistakes on my part."

Shane continued, "I'm sorry that you were wronged. Until I have sorted out my family's issues, I won't ask you to give me another chance.

"Even if you don't accept my feelings, please don't be so quick to push me out of your life, okay?"

Shane's expression was extremely serious, and his clear voice carried a hint of a pleading tone. This made Sage feel more reluctant about the matter.

"We're still friends, so why would I remove you?" she joked, trying to sound casual.

After he heard that, Shane also had a relaxed expression and said, "I'm just worried that you might be under too much pressure, so I thought out of sight, out of mind!"
