Chapter 1537
Kisa's lips pressed together as she sat down beside David.
He held the photo album and his mother's diary tenderly in his arms, then said, "Regardless of what others may say about your mother, she was the most incredible woman this world has ever known."
Hearing him praise her mother so passionately, Kisa's heart swelled with gratitude.
In truth, neither of them had ever truly let the other down; it was a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events that had kept them apart.
A lifetime of missed connections.He shared his memories of Emilia, reminiscing about their idyllic days in the countryside awaiting the birth of their child.
When Peter was born, he embodied their love and hope for the future.
But, to support Emilia's acting career, David had reluctantly left Peter in the care of a friend.
His plan had been to marry Emilia and reunite their family once everything was settled.
But fate had other plans, and a series of heartbreaking events unfolded.
He was forcibly expelled from Calthon, followed by the scandalous rumors of Emilia's affair with Christopher.
Believing Emilia had betrayed him, he left with Peter, his heart filled with bitterness, causing them to lose each other forever.
Kisa listened intently to his poignant recollections, her heart aching with sadness and regret.
'If only he had confronted my mom directly, or even brought her away without a second thought, their love story might have had a different ending"
The frantic sounds of servants searching for him echoed from the courtyard below.
Kisa whispered, "The past is gone now.You and my mother shared a profound love, and neither of you ever truly failed the other.If she were still alive, I'm certain she wouldn't hold a grudge against you."
He nodded in agreement.
"Yes, she was so extraordinary.How could she ever hold a grudge against me?"
The wind intensified, mingling with the desperate shouts of the servants.
Kisa urged, "We should head down."
David shook his head.
"I would like to stay here a bit longer.Could you fetch me a glass of water? I'm parched."
