Chapter 18
“But what about Kendall? You really hurt her deeply. Do you think she can ever forgive you?” a friend asked, concern threading through the group chat.
Elijah glanced at the messages, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he typed back quickly, “I stopped liking Tiffany a long time ago. It was never real love, just an obsession. Even when we were together, my mind was always on Kendall. I didn’t realize it then, but now I do.”
The chat fell silent for a brief moment before the flood of messages resumed.
“Glad to hear you’re finally seeing things clearly. Tiffany’s not worth it. You wouldn’t believe what’s happened since those photos of her leaked—Gunner Group’s stock plummeted, and now they’re bankrupt. Rumor has it they’re planning to pull out of Northland altogether.”
Elijah frowned but felt no spark of emotion toward Tiffany anymore. His sole focus was on finding Kendall and winning her heart back.
“Forget Tiffany. I just want to know how to get Kendall back. Throw some ideas at me, guys,” he typed, desperation creeping into his words.
Immediately, his friends began offering advice.
“First thing, you’ve got to apologize from the heart. Be sincere, don’t come off like you think you’re better than her.”
“Absolutely. If you have to, get down on your knees. You hurt her badly, so you need to show real remorse.”
“More than that, you have to prove you’ve changed. Words mean nothing without actions. Show her you truly regret what happened.”
Elijah scribbled notes quietly, mentally weighing each suggestion. He knew some of these ideas might embarrass him, but for Kendall, he was ready to swallow his pride completely.
Before he even noticed, an hour slipped by.
The wedding was about to start, yet Elijah still hadn’t spotted Kendall anywhere. Anxiety gnawed at him, and in a panic, he grabbed a nearby guest and whispered urgently, “Do you know Kendall? Have you seen her around?”
The guest looked at him with mild surprise. “Of course. We’re all here for her wedding today.”
