Although she seemed to lack a father's love, Algerone had given her fatherly love.
But what about a daughter's love for her father? Who had given that to him over the years?
So Monica also felt guilty, a guilt that only made one feel even sadder.
"Alright." Bertie turned the page on the past as long as his daughter was happy, "Dad promises you." He no longer reproached himself, no longer felt guilty. His face bore a smile, filled with joy and gratitude.
Monica was also very happy. She turned to Algerone and Belinda, standing between them, linking her arms with theirs.
Adjusting her emotions, she graciously introduced,"Dad, let me introduce you. This is my mom, Belinda, and this is dad, Algerone. They have raised me single-handedly and I've never lacked the warmth of a family."
Bertie knew they had just remarried yesterday.
He looked at the two of them, a couple who seemed to be made for each other, and also seemed to be kind-hearted people.
He felt grateful to them and took a step forward, gazing at them for a long time. Algerone and Belinda felt the pressure, knowing he was the former king, which created a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
The old king didn't speak, and they didn't know what to say.
Unexpectedly, the old king deeply bowed to them, suddenly performing a particularly formal gesture, which startled everyone, especially Algerone and Belinda, who were taken aback!
Wanting to assist but not daring to touch his noble body, they were caught in a few seconds of conflicting emotions.
Bertie bowed for five seconds, then slowly straightened up, "Thank you, thank you!" His voice trembled with genuine gratitude.
Algerone and Belinda, tears in their eyes, smiled and shook their heads... They were all kind people.
"It's also our fate to meet Monica," Belinda wiped her tears.
