She wanted him to explain the whole thing to her.
But she never saw him again before she died.
Maureen died when Felix was 7.
She found out she was pregnant after Ein broke up with her.
The baby was both a symbol of her love and the vivid evidence of Ein's abandonment.
So she loved and hated the baby at the same time.
Moreover, after her relationship with Ein came to light, the Grint family felt shame for her being with a married man. They thought of her as a disgrace to the family and kicked her out.
From then on, Maureen could only live with Felix in this castle.
Maureen's father left her an inheritance, but in those days, single mothers and their children were frowned upon by the big families. They led a difficult life.
Maureen never let go of the relationship that had caused her so much pain. Her pride prevented her from going to Ambario to look for Ein.
She never heard from Ein after she texted him.
So she didn't even tell him about Felix.
Seven years later, it snowed heavily one day.
The whole castle was covered with snow.
Maureen lay quietly in bed watching Felix with pity and sadness in her eyes.
She had been cold to Felix for the past seven years.
Because as soon as she saw him, she thought of Ein.
He grew up and became more and more like his father.
Her resentment toward him increased.
Maureen knew it was unfair to Felix, but people were always eager to see what they wanted and ignored what they hated.
She didn't want to see Ein again, so she hated Felix, who looked like him.
Felix lived with his indifferent mother for seven years.
Maureen died when he was seven years old and he became an orphan.
Fortunately, he wasn't homeless.
After Maureen's death, the Grint family didn't like him but didn't really give him a hard time.
They gave him this castle and the few properties that Maureen left behind.
Felix had some rough days as a child, but because of these things, he survived.
Donald, the old butler, watched Maureen grow up.
After Maureen's death, he raised Felix. He was a very important person to Felix.
Without Donald, Felix would likely have died a long time ago.
After all, it was dangerous for a kid to have so much money. It could get him into big trouble.
But it was completely different if there was a shrewd butler by his side.
Donald took good care of not only him but also the business.
