Chapter 28 Recalling past 2

She gives him a startled gaze as she glances at him.

She simply cannot believe what he said.

No, she says, speaking louder than normal.

You came to that conclusion after I explained how their love was doing.

That wasn't how they were.

I believe them.

They wouldn't have done that even if I hadn't been there.

They had some modest pride as well.

Even if I had been the one to pass away and Destiny had lived, they wouldn't have been together.

They represent the kind of person I want to see in you.

Ayden ceased all further discussion about Destiny.

Their attraction to one another was not motivated by sexual urges.

Keep in mind the ideal of love.

I am aware that the absence of your father's love was due to love, but he was powerless to intervene.

He had remarked, "You are with him, mum and dad will be with him, but Destiny didn't have anyone," before leaving with her.

Thus, the infant will be alone.

I'm not familiar with her father.

I should look after her.

Give our infant the affection of both parents.

Never allow him to experience his father's absence in his life.

I simply love him and want the best for him.

I sincerely apologize to you and the baby.

I was unable to show you the love and happiness you so richly deserved.

If you can, forgive your childish friend, and take care of yourself.

He adored you dearly.

I believe he misses you dearly as well.

When the infant moved in with us, the four of us were enjoying our lives.

The infant was just 10 or 11 months old.

You fell ill one day to the point where we had to take you to the hospital.

Ayden and I both completely forgot about her.

The infant was really ill when we got home because of the cold, hunger, and all-day wailing.

While still holding her, Ayden hurried to the hospital.

All the way to the hospital, he sobbed.

I had never seen him in that condition before.

Although I had seen him cry before, he had never sobbed openly.

Even now, occasionally while I'm asleep, I can still hear that heartbreaking cry.

Although he didn't cry when Destiny died, hearing him sob in an attempt to save her breaks my heart.

He never held me accountable despite the fact that I neglected to take care of her.

The responsibility fell on him.

You recovered in two days, while she seemed to be ill for a month.

You were quite fond of the baby.

Although you didn't like other newborns, she was unique, you loved her.

You used to go and spend a lot of time next to her bed.

She was very joyful while you were there.

She was quite fond of you.

You used to cry when your father carried other babies, yet you still allowed him to hold her.

You three seemed very content.

Ayden was contemplating hiring a personal babysitter for her once the infant started getting better.

It was quickly approaching your birthday.

For your birthday, he had planned a rather fancy party.

Your grandfather, though, damaged it.

He began screaming at your father as soon as he saw the infant.

He advised against your father placing the child in an orphanage.

Your grandfather pushed your father off the cliff when he was already on the verge of falling off due to her illness, fear of future and what if he ever had to choose between you and her.

He gave you a deep hug and held you.

He lacked the heart to abandon you.

"Daddy, make her healthy and come back so that baby won't get sick and we can play," you requested at that very moment.

At that time, you had my complete admiration.

Ayden eventually mustered the resolve to go.

He gave you a hug and a kiss.

Actually, you gave that infant your first kiss.

You have to take responsibility for that, stealing other's first kiss. She teases him.

Leo stares incredulously at his mother.

"Do you want her as your daughter-in-law?" he asks his mother.

I would love that if she were my daughter-in-law, but only if she were your pick, she says as she turns to face him.

"I had picked your daughter-in-law, and I will someday bring her to meet you," he declares.

What is she called?

She enquires, "Her family?"

"Ask her yourself when you meet her," he advises.

She was concerned about whether you would like her or not.

I'm hoping you'll love her mom.

The two of you are the people I love most in the entire universe.

"I will accept her even if she is exactly contrary from what I want in my daughter-in-law," she says, "provided she loves you."

They both smile as they enter the house.
