Chapter 440
Chapter 440 Unforgivable
"T will always remember that day when my mother not only came across their photo, but also found all the letters from Maria."
Aaron held me tightly in his arms, just like a drowning person clutching onto a piece of driftwood, his voice almost breaking
He said that his mother actually did not die upon learning about her husband's affair
I once heard a joke that said the real upper class society 1s incredibly low-class. Those glamorous and elegant ladies almost everyone will encounter difficulties regarding love and family, such as the exposure of a lover or a husband's infidelity
What Grace saw, the image of her husband embracing another woman, 1s actually a scandal that no aristocratic family can escape from. Most noblewomen would choose to turn a blind eye, pretending not to see, in order to maintain the dignity of their family, even 1f it eventually turns their marriage into a ridiculous open relationship, they would never let it become public knowledge
Because their family dynamics often involve property division and to some extent determine the direction of the stock market, no one can have a bad relationship with money. In the face of wealth, a husband's loyalty is actually the least significant thing
But when Grace stumbled upon all the letters exchanged between old Morris and Maria, her heart shattered completely
She learned from those letters that what she was actually facing was not her husband's infidelity, but the fact that she herself was the stumbling block to her husband's loveContent is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
If she had not existed, that woman and her son actually would not have needed to wander around
Grace realized that she was the despicable third party
She felt that it was her father who tied her husband with money, causing him to abandon his first love and son, and marry her instead
Grace at that time was an emerging woman who had graduated from a prestigious institution
Although she did not necessarily believe in the nonsense of love being paramount, she also could not accept the fact that she was forced to
intervene in someone else's love affair
After my mother finished reading those letters, she died of a heart attack that very evening. But my father... he was still at Maria's villa, and he hurriedly returned the next morning. Olive, I was just a child of not even six years old at that time, but he didn't care at all. After my mother passed away, Jeff Morris, the first thing he did was erase her existence!
Aaron told me that all the news did not report the news of old Morris remarrying after his wife's death because he never had a wedding with Maria
He withdrew all the news about Grace's death with money, pretending to be depressed and living a gloomy life after losing his wife to the Hoffman family, causing everyone to sympathize with him and no longer mention Aaron's mother
A year later, he had Maria adopt Grace's name, compensated her with property, and quietly made the household have a new mistress, eliminating all the procedures that should have been part of the wedding
And because the lady of the house was also named Grace Morris, over time, everyone stopped paying attention to this scandal of the wealthy family, until Aaron's grandfather Hoffman passed away, and his mother was completely forgotten
Even later, in the business empire of the Morris Group, no one remembered that Mr. Morris had once received a sum of money from the Hoffman Group. All the newspapers and interviews wrote about how he had single-handedly started from scratch and created this business empire from nothing
No one talked about the real Lady Grace anymore, nor did anyone pay attention to how many mistresses had changed in the Morris family estate
"I was the only one who ultimately remembered my mother, but he forbade me from mentioning her. I became the most awkward presence in this family, even though he never mistreated me materially, I could never accept him erasing the fact of my mother's existence."
Aaron resented old Morris and had no liking for the current Mrs. Grace either, but because Joe was really good to him, he couldn't say anything bad to Mrs. Grace
Sometimes in this world, kind people indeed needed to bear more
He took a deep breath, his gaze somewhat
vacant. "Actually, my father once got drunk and came to my room to apologize. Since then, it's as if he has let go of everything, thinking that he has already apologized and shouldn't be resented by me anymore. But he doesn't know that not all apologies can be forgiven, and his apology is not redemption for me, but rather the clutches that push me into the abyss. Ever since then, every time I think of his apology, my resentment towards him grows stronger."
I raised my head belatedly, tenderly touching his cheek with a hint of regret
Originally, this was the true reason why Aaron later moved out of the Morris' house
