One could only imagine the shock Javier received upon learning about the truth behind Anne’s decision. Standing frozen, he wore an expression of blank disbelief, grappling with the pain that threatened to crush him. 

He mumbled, “No. How could that be? How …” Even his cheeks were quivering. 

Javier’s response reminded Newton of Jasper. Although Newton perceived Jasper to be more capable than Javier in every aspect, he noticed that the father and son shared a trait of obstinance-a refusal to admit to their foolish and absurd decisions. 

“Anne requested that I keep this a secret from you because she wanted to leave in peace. She did not want you and Jasper to miss her.” Newton shook his head remorsefully. “To be honest, I was blinded and selfish at that time. I did not care about her feelings and your relationship with her. I was only concerned about keeping Jasper in the family. 

“Never have I thought that Sophia would show up in your life out of nowhere. I was more surprised that you fell in love with her and 

married her. Oh, I regret it so …” 

Javier countered, “H-Had Anne not given me the cold shoulder… Had she not hated me so… I wouldn’t have…” 

Deep within, Javier still held Anne in higher regard than Sophia. Even if Sophia weren’t such a troublemaker, she would never replace Anne’s place in his heart. Unfortunately, Javier was too stubborn to admit to his mistake, all due to his pampered upbringing.

Newton sighed softly and instructed, “Ben, give him the item I safeguarded for Anne.” 

“Of course, Mr. Beckett.” Ben extracted a wooden box from his bag and handed it to Javier. “Mr. Javier, this box belonged to Madam Anne. She gave it to your father before leaving because it reminded her of sad memories, but it was a waste to throw it out. Instead, she’d like to return the items to the rightful owner. This box contained the gifts you bought her.” 

Javier stared blankly at the box. He clenched his fists and hesitated to receive it. 

Upon seeing that, Newton’s eyes darkened. He lamented, “Oh, well. Anne is history anyway. Besides, you have a new wife. There’s no need for you to see what she kept in that box, but personally, I think it’s time to hand the box to you, or you’ll never discern your feelings and understand the gravity of your mistake.” 

Javier finally accepted the box. His throat tightened. He was at a loss. for words.
