When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 65

Was this supposed to be an apology? It felt more like a forceful push for her to just accept everything!

Lemira’s expression was cool, indifferent, a demeanor that weighed heavily on Alaric’s heart. Just moments ago, Alaric was brimming with confidence, but now, doubt was creeping in.

He had bent over backwards to apologize and make amends, thinking surely Lemira could see his intentions.

He had never lowered himself like this for anyone since young! Lemira was the first!

Evelina seized the opportunity to chip in, “Yeah, Lemmy, Alaric went all out preparing today’s dinner. You must see his sincere efforts to make amends.”

Alaric’s expression turned slightly awkward, “Lemira, whatever you ask for, I can make it happen.”

Lemira raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm, “My request is simple.”

“Go ahead.”

Alaric sighed in relief, thinking as long as Lemira was willing to state her terms, she was on the path to forgiving him.

He should have known, Lemira was just acting out, thinking he was favoring Evelina! Once they patched things up, he’d find the right moment to have a serious talk with Lemira.

“Starting today, stay out of my sight, and don’t ever take matters into your own hands like this again.”

Alaric’s face froze in an instant, his mind buzzing with disbelief.

Lemira turned and walked away, her departure firm and resolute, without a trace of reluctance. Stepping out of the training base, a wave of heat hit her, the summer cicadas chirping irritatingly.

“Lemira, what do I have to do for you to forgive my past mistakes? Just say the word!”

Alaric followed her out. He looked at Lemira earnestly, his tone more sincere than ever.

Finally, Lemira lost her patience, “Did you not understand what I just said? Maybe you should consider going back to elementary school.”

“Lemira, we’ve been close since we were kids. Are you really going to hold one impulsive mistake against me for the rest of your life, refusing to acknowledge me as your brother?”

Alaric couldn’t believe she’d be so heartless.

Lemira only found it amusing. Just one mistake?
