Ethan looked at his family, happy to see them all together. However, he could also feel the tension between his son and his son-in-law.
He was sick, not senile.
He noticed how Alex refused to shake Gerald's hand, a very unusual behavior of his son-in-law, so he could tell he must have his reason. A solid one.
Still, he enjoyed hearing his wife laughing at Gerald's stories. He also loved hearing that despite what happened to his son, he still had some good memories of his childhood with his mother.
He still could not help but blame himself for what his son had gone through because he was not brave enough to face what he had done. He did not clean up the mess he made and allowed his son to suffer in the end.
"Do you need anything?" His daughter asked, standing by his side while his wife and Gerald returned to their seats, continuing their exchange of stories.
Thanks for more than a year of support for this book. I love writing this story but I will be slowing it down to give way to my other books. But I promise that I am not stopping until I gave this book a proper ending.
But I wish to come up with another volume for this book in the months to come. So, hopefully, you will continue to support my stories. Not just this one.
For those who continued to buy my privilege, I would suggest not to, unless you only want to support me because I could not guarantee regular updates like before.
Thanks again for everything.
