"Be drove Jason away, but Ralph is in love with Carrie. Even if Ralph is out of the picture, there will be other men. What would you do if Carrie didn''t want to be with you? Will you sever all her rtionships? Do you want her to never interact with other men, never marry, and cling to those fleeting memories with you for the rest of her life?"


    Ryan stood there nkly, feeling as if his heart was being crushed.


    "You must understand where the problem with you and Carrie lies." Justin stood up slowly, his gaze intense. "What you must do is not snatch Carrie back or lock her by your side. You should change for her. You should be her strongest support instead of trying to make her an object to be possessed. You don''t need to be together to be happy. If you truly love Carrie, her happiness will be yours." Ryan was stunned, and his expression was dazed.


    In the early hours, it was still brightly lit in the police station.


    Ralph held a bowl of instant ramen, eating while discussing a case with his colleagues, when a female officer came in, blushing.


    "Captain Ralph, someone is looking for you to file a report."


    "For me? What case?"


    "He said it was an important case."


    "He still needs to go through the proper procedure. Take his statement first."


    The female officer quickly said, "Mr. Hoffman said that if you refuse to see him, he will wait until you do."


    Ralph and Ryan confronted each other in the hall.


    "Mr. Hoffman, didn''t you say that you wanted to file a report? I''m here to greet you personally. Say, what kind of injustice have you suffered?" Ralph looked at Ryan with a fake smile.


    Ryan said hoarsely, "I came to see you for Carrie."


    Ralph tensed up. "What happened to Carrie?!"


    "I''d like to talk to you in private."


    In the quiet and dim car, the tension in the air made it indescribably awkward.


    "Spit it out. My colleagues are waiting for me." Ralph put his hands in his pocket as he looked out the window, seemingly raising an invisible barrier between him and Ryan. Ryan''s fingers curled nervously on hisp, then rxed, and curled again.


    "I admit that my attitude toward you in the past was horrible. I''m sorry."


    Ralph''s handsome face showed a hint of shock. He sized Ryan up as if thetter were a ghost. "Mr. Hoffman, are you speaking to me? It''ste at night. Did you get possessed or something?" N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Ryan was speechless.


    Ralph said, "Don''t beat around the bush and get straight to it."


    Ryan took a deep breath, his eyes holding in intense and passionate emotions as he said, word by word "I love Carrie deeply. For her, I could give up everything, even my life Captain Ralph, I came to ask you to give me a chance to reconcile with Carrie."


    Ralph''s brows furrowed, and his gaze fixed on Ryan''s pale and sad face.


    Seeing that Ralph did not speak, Ryan let go of his pride and begged, his voice heavy and bitter. "Will you please give me a chance?"
