“In this world, how many infatuated men and women are there who love each other yet are unable to be together? Even Spencer, who had been with Emilia for 26 years, could never make his way into her heart.
“We’re already considered lucky because we love each other and can stay with each other. Even though there were many twists and turns along the way, we’ve never really been separated.
“In the past, it was because of my cowardice that a rift appeared between our hearts. Now, I’m brave enough to say what’s in my heart in hopes that we can erase the bad blood and truly connect heart to heart. Nat, will you accept my apology?”
When the man finished speaking, he looked at her with deep affection, awaiting her answer.
Natalie’s feelings were complicated. While she was moved, she also felt forlorn and had mixed feelings. Her eyes could not help but start to sting. She did not look at him, but she already could not help the tears from falling.
Upon seeing her cry, Xavier was immediately distressed. He hurriedly pulled out a few tissues to wipe her tears.
“Honey, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t know that you’ve suffered so much in your heart all these years. I just assumed that this matter would slowly pass with time…”
The more he spoke, the more he blamed himself. He only felt that he had not truly fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband over the years.
He had said a hundred times over that he would love her, care for her, and not let her suffer the slightest bit in her life.
However, he did not stick to his promise.
Natalie cried as she wiped her tears with the tissue.
The many years of sorrows and grievances seemed to have suddenly burst out at once after hearing his heartfelt words.
After a long time, she finally managed to hold back her tears. She said hoarsely, “Alright, I’m fine now.”
Xavier looked at her with scorching eyes.
Natalie turned to look at him. When their eyes met, she could easily see the man’s sincerity and concern.
It felt like something warm had suddenly touched her heart.
She smiled faintly. “Was everything you said earlier the truth?”
Xavier nodded heavily and raised his right hand. “I swear that everything I said came from the bottom of my heart.”
Natalie lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment. After a moment, she said, “Alright, then I’ll accept your apology. I forgive you.”
Xavier stared in shock as soon as he heard the words.
Then, the expression that had not shifted even when handling business deals worth billions suddenly blossomed with joy. He jumped forward and grabbed Natalie, hugging her tightly. He gushed emotionally and excitedly, “Wifey, thank you.”
Natalie was startled by his sudden action and quickly held him when she came back to her senses. She could not help but scold him. “What are you doing? Are you insane? Hurry back and sit down.”
Xavier’s injuries were not yet healed, and the doctor had repeatedly told him not to take drastic actions or move around, or else, he would easily aggravate the wound and cause the injury that was about to heal to split open again.
Therefore, during this period of time, even though Xavier had been recuperating at home, the people at home were all very careful.
Never mind letting him make any big movements, even when it came to changing clothes, it was Natalie who personally helped him change every day. She was afraid that if he changed by himself, he would stretch the wound or that an accident would happen.
However, now, this man was so excited that he did not even care about his body and simply pounced straight at her.
Natalie was happy yet distressed and also anxious. She was afraid that something would happen to his injuries.
Xavier released her and sat back in his wheelchair, and smiled. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry so much.”
