She frowned as she asked, "What are you saying?"
He replied with a loud voice so that she could hear him clearly, "He won't help me, and he won't help you because he is bitter about being taken advantage of by you."
She slumped in her seat and sighed. Her eyes were downcast as she said, "I know that he hates me. I didn't care in the past because I didn't want to belittle myself."
Then she looked at him and said, "I did like him. I cared a lot for him. But I have to admit that I took advantage of him, so I didn't have the guts to continue to act shamelessly by chasing after him."
"I thought I had already gotten the most important thing for him. If he didn't want me, then I wasn't going to bother with him. But it has been fifteen years now. It is enough time for me to know that I was wrong to let him go."
He sighed. He didn't know what to say, so he kept quiet.
