He Paid for the Wrong Heart Chapter 20

After the business trip ended, I returned to Harbor Point.

Nolan traveled back and forth between the two cities, but he seemed more than happy to do it

I told him that in my current plans, I had no intention of leaving this city.

He only smiled.

“So what?” he said. “As long as my plans have you in them, that’s enough.”

Hayes came to see me a few more times after that.

We finally talked everything through.

He said that when he first saw Serena, he had genuinely been drawn to her. But after talking to me

for so long, even after he got together with Serena, he never felt truly happy.

Again and again, until I finally realized I had never really forgotten him.

me now.”

The last time Hayes came to see me, it was raining in Harbor Point.

Somehow, he had gotten my phone number.

“There’s something I should have confessed before the world fell apart,” Lasked, “What’

He was silent for a long time.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he changed them

“I hope life is good to you.”

I said okay.

“You too.”
