Cherished By Seven Sisters

Chapter 172: Charity Auction

Ninette: What? What are you talking about? Rys?

What followed was a series of explanations.

Emrys took a deep breath and began, "Ninette, I know this might sound strange, but there's a deeper connection between us that you might not remember. When we first met, I thought you were someone else. Someone I knew a long time ago. That's why I approached you the way I did. It wasn't right, and I apologize for any discomfort I caused."

Ninette stared at him, her eyes wide with confusion and disbelief. "What are you saying, Emrys? Are you telling me this was all a misunderstanding?"

Emrys nodded slowly. "Yes, Ninette. It was a mistake on my part. I was blinded by my past and didn't see you for who you really are. I'm truly sorry."

Ninette's expression softened, but there was still a hint of skepticism in her gaze. "So, you're saying you mistook me for someone else? Who is this person you thought I was?"

Emrys hesitated for a moment before answering, "Her name was Nina. She was someone very important to me, and when I saw you, I thought you were her. I let my emotions cloud my judgment."

Ninette took a step back, trying to process everything Emrys had just told her. "I don't know what to say. This is all so overwhelming."

Emrys reached out, his voice pleading, "Ninette, I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but I hope you can understand why I acted the way I did. I want to make things right between us."

Ninette looked into his eyes, searching for sincerity. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "Emrys, I appreciate your honesty. It takes a lot to admit when you're wrong. I can't promise that everything will be okay immediately, but I'm willing to give it a chance."

Emrys let out a sigh of relief, a small smile forming on his lips. "Thank you, Ninette. That's all I could ask for."novelbin

As they stood there, the tension between them began to ease, replaced by a newfound understanding. The charity auction continued around them, but for Emrys and Ninette, it felt like they were in their own world, taking the first steps toward mending their relationship.

Ninette glanced around at the bustling crowd, then back at Emrys. "So, what now? How do we move forward from here?"

Emrys shrugged, a hint of hope in his eyes. "We take it one step at a time. Let's start by enjoying the auction. Maybe we can bid on something together."

Ninette smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkling with genuine warmth. "That sounds like a good idea. Let's do that."

As they walked back toward the auction, Emrys couldn't help but feel a sense of optimism. It was the beginning of a new chapter for him and Ninette, one built on honesty and understanding.

Little did they know, this charity auction would mark the start of a journey that would bring them closer together, revealing truths about themselves and their connection that neither had ever imagined.
