I Was His Wife, Then His Widow, Then No One's But My Own novel Chapter 419

Nora shook her head. "It hasn't hurt for a long time."

Tears finally spilled over as Cassie looked at her. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was so immature before. I didn't know you were sick, and I didn't know you suffered so much. I kept throwing tantrums and saying awful things to you."

Cassie wiped her eyes, but the tears just kept falling. Looking heartbroken, she carefully stepped forward and tugged at Nora's hand. "Mom, please don't be mad at me anymore."

Nora fell silent.

Once, she had truly treasured Cassie, treating her as her world. But Cassie's betrayal had been real, and the pain she caused ran deep. She couldn't just sweep it all under the rug simply because Cassie was a child.

Even at her young age, Cassie's past actions had reflected her genuine thoughts.

Nora didn't say whether she was still angry or not. She simply gave the girl's head a comforting pat.

"Alright, stop crying."

Unable to hold back any longer, Cassie threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing too hard to speak.

Nora held her, soothing her for a long time until her crisp wails gradually subsided. Cassie looked up, her eyes red and swollen. "Mom, is today your wedding day?"

Nora nodded, gently smoothing Cassie's hair.

"Is... is he good to you?" Cassie asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Nora smiled faintly. "He treats me very well."

Meanwhile, Finnegan had finally finished dealing with the fallout. But just moments ago, word had come from the prison that Seraphina wanted to see him. Of course, he had no intention of going. He never wanted to see that face again for the rest of his life.

To think he had abandoned his wife of five years for a woman like her. Thank god there was still time to fix everything.

Everything was completely sorted out. Finnegan had reclaimed his shares, and all his frozen assets had been released. From this moment on, he could legally restore his true identity, walk right up to Nora, and explain everything.

He glanced down at the exquisite box in his hand. Inside rested a diamond ring he had personally picked out at the boutique yesterday—a piece worth millions of dollars.

Staring at the ring, he pictured Nora's face lighting up with joy. His lips curved into a slow smile, his heart fluttering with anticipation.
