Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 638

"I understand it won't be easy for you to forgive me, but there is someone else I want you to forgive. Moore, I am talking about your father. He has been a good father to you and a good son to me. More than ten years ago, your father was in great danger, so I had no other choice but to abandon you. I know that you have hated him all these years for leaving you behind. However, one thing you don't know is that he kept it a secret from you for my sake. So please forgive me for the decision I made years ago. I hope you can understand me. As a father, all I did is try to protect my son. Please forgive me."

After he spoke, Olin cried bitterly. Moore sat still and watched him while he was sobbing in his choked voice.

There was no expression on Moore's face. Instead, it was blank. It seemed like his whole body had become numb. His brain wasn't prepared for this hence he sat still.

All these years he thought he was the most pitiful person but now it turned out that Gary was the one who suffered the most. This piece of information was extremely hard for him to digest.

He looked up and glanced at the old man with grey hair standing in front of him. Seeing him, Moore's words failed him. For few minutes, he stayed silent and tried to regain his composure.

"Forgive your grandfather, Moore! He did this because he had no other choice," Gary persuaded Moore. "Don't be so hard on him because he doesn't have much time left."

Uttering these words, Gary choked with sadness.

"Doesn't have much time left?

What are you trying to say?" Moore demanded while being afraid internally.

Confusedly, his eyes went back and forth from Gary to Olin.

"Your grandfather has only three months left. He has advanced gastric cancer." Gary unfolded the truth with a lump in his throat.

When Moore heard this bad news, he felt a pang of sharp pain in his heart. He felt his eyes blur with tears.

"Gary, I warned you not to tell this to Moore! How can you forget that?" Olin reprimanded Gary as he was unable to watch his grandson in pain. "I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me. I am paying for my bad deeds. If you think about it, this punishment serves me right! I am the one responsible for getting you both separated. Everything is my fault!"

"Grandpa..." Watching Olin blame himself for their mistake, Moore felt so heartbroken.

"Oh my God! Finally, you are willing to speak to me again," Olin exclaimed with full excitement. He gawked at Moore with his loving eyes. Slowly, he stretched out his wrinkled hands to touch Moore's face.

"Grandpa, it's not your fault. I don't care about the past and I am willing to forgive you. I have only one wish and that is for you to be alive. As long as you are alive..."

Moore burst into tears before he could finish his words.

"Silly child, I still have a few months left. I want to make good use of these last days by spending it with my favorite grandson." Olin touched Moore's face kindly and his heart swelled with pride.

"Grandpa... Please don't talk that way. I believe that you can live a long and healthy life. Not for few months instead for many years." Moore hurriedly put his hand over Olin's mouth and shook his head desperately. He didn't want his grandfather to talk about death.

"Good boy!" Olin took Moore's hand with a smile and said, "Well, I promise you that I won't talk about silly matters and make you sad again. You have to remember that I will always love you, Moore."

Listening what Olin had said, Moore nodded his head movingly.

When Gary watched this spectacle in front of him, his heart sighed with joy. He couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

Olin tried hard to calm his excitement while he wiped the tears on his face. Then he looked between Moore and Gary and then nodded his head to Moore.

Seeing the nod, Moore instantly understood what it implied. Yet there was an expression of embarrassment on his face.

All the misunderstandings had been solved and Moore had no reason to hold any enmity towards Gary. Moore realized it was time for him to reconcile with his father.

It was Olin's decision to abandon Moore and he did it because he had no other choice. Now everything made sense and Moore felt the weight shift from his shoulder.

Besides, Moore felt guilty about spending such a long time hating Gary. He always thought that Gary had abandoned him and hated him from the bottom of his heart. Due to this, he was even reluctant to see him.

As a result, now it was a little difficult for Moore to recognize Gary as his father.

After all, it had only been few minutes since he heard the truth. It might take him a while to get adjusted to this new reality.

Olin detected the reluctance on Moore's face, so he pushed Moore eagerly.

Without any preparation, Moore felt himself fall towards Gary's side.

Gary then slowly raised his head to look at Moore. In his eyes, Moore noticed hope and anticipation. There was both excitement and nervousness.

Moore glanced back at Olin in embarrassment and gave him an angry look for being so impatient.

However, his expression softened when he noticed the old man's condition. His grandfather looked pale and tired with almost all his teeth gone.
