This kind of conversation was truly meaningless, but besides these words, what else could she and Mark Reed talk about?
Claudia Ross let out a bitter smile.
She and Mark Reed were destined to meet but never to be together. If she had met him earlier, perhaps things would have been different.
But she didn't come into his life earlier, nor later—she appeared at the moment when he was most helpless and in need of support, only to accompany him through the hardest years.
She had always been grateful to him, but she never got the chance to repay his kindness.
The two of them continued chatting aimlessly for a while before Mark finally summoned the courage to ask Claudia, "Claudia, have you ever loved me?"
He already knew the answer to this question but wanted to hear Claudia say it herself.
No matter how cruel her answer might be, he wanted to hear it in person. Perhaps after hearing it, he could finally let it go.
