Bab 766: Saying Goodbye

Ah ... why am I thinking about this? Nicolae scolded himself. He shouldn't think like this because, after all, he and Marie will not meet again. Tomorrow he would return to Grosetto and change his current identity. Then he would disappear completely from Marie's life.

Their meeting this time was serendipity, a pleasant coincidence, and they gave comfort that the other needed during their own hardships.

Marie happened to be in need of a man who could pretend to be her husband to make her mother happy before she passed away, while Nicolae needed a woman who could heal the wounds in his heart.

Thanks to Marie, he was able to let go of Aleksis from his heart. Evidently, this morning he could make love with a woman who was not Aleksis, and he could make peace with his broken heart. Nicolae felt that he was now on the road to recovery, and for this, he would forever thank Marie.
