True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 576

A weeping sound came from the study room which made the people standing at the door frown.

"Did you hear Master Lowe cry?" One of them asked another.

"Yes." The other nodded and replied, "He's talking about something but I can't hear clearly. He's really crying."

"Could it be because of the ashes' owner?"

"Who knows? Master Lowe has a strange temper. He hasn't been remarried again for all these years. I think it's most probably because of the ashes' owner."

"Do you think he didn't remarry for 50 years for the sake of this woman?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"If it were you, would you be able to endure such loneliness?"

"I'm sure I wouldn't be able to take it longer. As a man, I definitely can't endure my sexual desire without a partner."

"But Master Lowe has endured it."

The two people were whispering at the door, chuckling and sighing with emotion at the same time.

When Charles went upstairs, he saw Master Lowe's caretakers muttering to each other. He was already in a bad mood, so he immediately bellowed sullenly, "What are you whispering about?"

"Oh, Mr. Lowe." The two of them immediately became serious and straightened their postures respectfully.

Charles frowned and questioned again, "What on earth were you two talking about?"

"M-Master Lowe is crying!" One of them pointed to the door and said, "I don't know what's going on. He has been crying ever since he retrieved the ashes urn."

"Crying?" Charles was very surprised. "Why is he crying?"

"We don't know, Mr. Lowe."

Charles frowned and scolded them, "Get downstairs quickly. Without my orders, you're not allowed to come up. Prepare some water and food for Master Lowe."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Inform Eva and Donald to come over. I have something important to discuss with them," Charles ordered again.

"Yes!"

The two of them hurried down the stairs.

Charles stood at the door as he watched that two men left, and then he looked at the closed door of the study room. He frowned.

Indeed, there were quiet sobs mixed with a nagging voice. Listening to this, his heart skipped a beat.

All these years, he had never understood his father. In the past few years, Maxim hadn't been trying to search for that woman, nor had he ever remarried again.

Charles was taken aback to hear that Maxim was crying.

He didn't understand why.

Also, what was he nagging about?

Charles couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned against the door and listened carefully to what was happening inside.

Maxim wiped his tears and reached out his trembling hand once again to hold the urn in his arms.

"Marilyn, why didn't you come back to find me? If you came back, I would have definitely apologized to you, but why didn't you come back?”

Leaning on the door, Charles was stunned to hear this. He stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time.

There was no movement in the room anymore.

After a long while, a weeping sound came out from the room again. It was full of forbearance and helplessness as if Maxim had cried out his biggest regret in the world.
