Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 839

"Just because my mommy doesn't hate you doesn't mean she has forgiven you. You can't make up for my mommy's misery with an apology. You can't make it go away with your remorse either. If you really want to get her forgiveness, you'd better start with learning about what she went through in the past."

The child sneered. This was the real reason why he had agreed to meet Leo. Justin wanted to let him know his mother's every struggle in the past because of him.

"I know. It's all my fault. So I'll keep trying to earn her forgiveness." Justin's sharp tone was way beyond his age that Leo couldn't regard him as a child anymore. Suddenly, he realized why Edward had let Justin come alone. The child simply thought like an adult and certainly didn't need another adult's company.

"It will be difficult. My mommy doesn't hate people easily. However, once she does, it will be forever. Plus, I'll always be on my mommy's side. I'm sorry. I think we shouldn't see each other again. I don't want to upset my mommy." Justin had gone through everything with Daisy so he totally understood why his mom did that.

"Justin, I understand that it won't be easy for you to forgive me. But I have gotten my punishment and I am old. Can't you help me to change your mom's mind?" Leo begged, regardless of his pride in a way that made it hard to even see his former glory. Right now, he was merely a miserable old man hoping for forgiveness.

"If you knew how my mommy had survived these years, you wouldn't have asked me that. Do you know what it was like to deliver a baby alone without a single soul at her side? Do you know what it was like when my mommy got hurt and had to swallow the pain silently alone? Can you imagine how afraid my mommy was when she was close to death? No. I don't think so. None of you understands how her life had been. So, when you see how successful she is right now, try to imagine how hard she has worked for it."

Tears streamed down Justin's cheeks. He had said the same thing to Edward before but the mere mention of it could still leave him overwhelmed with sadness.

"I'm so sorry. I really didn't know anything about all this. I do now. I'll make it up to you for everything. I promise." Leo had heard about Daisy's past from Edward. But hearing Justin open up about it made him feel worse. He felt greatly sorry for Daisy.

"Not everything can be amended. I am sorry. I have to go. Please don't bother my mommy again unless you really have something important to tell her. Right now, you can only leave everything to time." Justin wiped his eyes. He was not like a six-year-old kid at all. His grandpa even saw a little Edward in him, fearless and arrogant.

"Justin, can't you stay a little longer and have dinner with me?" Leo didn't expect the atmosphere to suddenly become this awkward. Anxiety instantly cruised his veins soon as he heard Justin wanting to leave.

"Sorry, I don't have the appetite. Goodbye." The little boy opened the door and left. Leo tried to stop him by holding his hand but lost his chance. Justin was already gone. His hand stopped frozen in mid-air.

Justin's words were like needles pricking Leo's heart. He was too powerless to come up with a retort. He couldn't believe how a small child was able to say words as profound as his grandchild had.

Luke walked towards him as soon as Justin stepped out of the restaurant. An automatic frown came to his face as soon as he saw the child's tears. "Justin, why did you come out so quickly?" he asked.

"Everything I can say has been said. There's nothing else we can talk about. Uncle Luke, I am hungry. Take me to my daddy, please." Justin sniffed and gave a sweet smile.

"Okay. We're going to FX International right away." Luke didn't know what had happened in the restaurant, but basing it from the tear stains on Justin's face, he could tell that things hadn't been pleasant.
