Barbara stood beside her and continued.
"His distrust of women stems from the fact that he had a greedy mother.His birth wasn't honorable.His mother gave birth to him behind Mr.Saldana's back because she wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to get herself a good life.He's an illegitimate son.
After being rejected by Mr.Saldana, his mother pushed all the blame and responsibility on him.
"His childhood life is rougher than anyone in the world.Even a beggar has a better life than him, and what he has experienced is something we have never experienced before.If he hadn't met my father, he might not have lived until today, or he would've gone down the wrong path.
"I used to be unaware of his identity as an undercover agent, and I did not know how dangerous the mission he carried out was.As such, his unceremonious departure left me very upset and heartbroken.
"It was not until several years ago that I learned he felt guilty about me because of what happened to me.
He couldn't bring himself to face me and his own mistakes, so he chose not to see me.
He has been living in remorse and has even given up on his career.
"His inability to let go of his guilt for me is the same a s my disappointment at his sudden disappearance.Our relationship didn't even blossom.Since there's no beginning, there's no end either.
It's just a nostalgic recollection of each other's regrets.
"He isn't the kind of man who would fall in love easily.I'm not exaggerating things, but the women he has seen while an undercover agent are even more than the clothes he's worn.He's abandoned his emotions and shut his heart off for the sake of the mission.The reason he's attracted to me is that I'm the daughter of the one who saved him."
When Barbara finished talking, she turned her head to look at Elaine.
"Other than me, you're the first woman I've ever heard him say he doesn't hate."
He had even just taken advantage of her sister, Katrina.He had not had any feelings for her at all.
Elaine remained silent.
She had thought that it was not easy for him to risk his life becoming an undercover agent, but it turned out that it had not been easy for him since he was a child.
Barbara put her hand on her shoulder and continued.
"If you really love him, then don’t give up on him."
Elaine’s heart shook.
Barbara returned to the living room, and Maisie walked up to her.
"You two are done speaking?"
"Yeah," Barbara replied with a smile.
Ryleigh came over and chimed in.
"What are you guys talking about? Hurry up and tell me."
