Capítulo 37: 37
Fresia's eldest son spoke his honest feelings. All this time, he had done his best to attain what his mother wanted and did everything he could to make her proud.
However, none of it made her smile and whenever he tried impressing her, she'd shrug it off as 'That's it? You think that's enough?'
It was these words that caused him to lose his faith in his mom and all of the anguish and sufferings he had.
"All this time, I tried doing what you wanted but you never did once pay attention to me!" There was a pain in his voice as tears began to fall out from his eyes.
"I know what I and we have done was wrong, but Mother, have you ever asked once where did you go wrong? At some point, did you ever think that how you treated us might be wrong?"
He looked at his mother with an expression that was filled with misery, confusion, and anger.
"I doubt you ever think that Mother!" He laughed and mocked.
"...." Fresia didn't answer any of her son's questions as all she could do was maintain silence.
Recalling back how she had treated them, she'd fairly agreed that she might have been ruthless, strict, and uncaring.
But all of it was for a reason, though, she highly doubts they'd understood her position.
"So in the end, what made all of you betray me was you wanted an easier way out, is that it? You can't handle the way I ruled and thus, preferred that woman than me?"
Fresia was the type of person that wouldn't care for anyone once she hated that person even if it was her own family.
As such, her heart didn't falter at the sight of her son crying and venturing out his true feelings.
After all, everything that she did was for his sake and now that he had betrayed her, her trust in him was as deep as the bottom of the universe.
"D-Don't call her like that!" This time, it was the youngest son who spoke out.
"Why?" Fresia had an interesting gaze as this was the first time that her youngest had voiced out.
"S-She's much kinder and lesser scarier than you can ever be! She always gives me sweets and always treats me with lots of love" He convinced.
Fresia almost laughed over his explanation as she thought how foolish of her youngest son to think of it that way.
"So all this time, you think that I've never treated you the same way as that woman did huh?" She exclaimed at this unbelievable fact.
"T-That's right!" He shouted.
"Then how about you? What makes you choose her over me?" This time, Fresia wanted to hear from her ex-husband.
"...." Her ex-husband had a difficult time looking at his ex-wife and he couldn't find the words to explain, but as he thought of what had led to this outcome, he eventually spoke.
"I think...we were never meant to be together. I'll admit that the way we have carried out to try to cut our ties might be offensive, but my love for her is bigger than I could ever give to you" He explained with honesty.
"Then, do all of you think I don't have any feelings!?" This time it was her turn to reveal her honest feelings.
All three of them became tensed when Fresia responded with a firm voice.
"Did all of you think I did all that just for the sake of fun!?" She said.
"Have everything that I've done just for a naught!?" She added.
Fresia was aware that how she had treated them in the past might have been harsh and she didn't show any ounce of love.
But that doesn't mean she didn't love them. It was because of love that she needed to be steel with them.
Otherwise, the world won't be so kind to them.
Noticing how they were scared of her, she calmed herself down before asking an important question that will decide how they should act from now on.
"Forget it. I didn't come here to resolve our relationship. What done has been done and can't be undone, and I only hope that you didn't regret this choice"
Her gaze towards them was akin to a stranger and she no longer cared about them.
"From now on, we'd both move on with our life as we found our happiness. I won't disturb your lives and you won't disturb mine"
Fresia no longer wanted to linger around the fragments of this family as she wished to cease all of it.
"I understand now why all of you had done that but it disappointed me that you couldn't be upfront with me. Whatever, from now on, there's no woman called Fresia in your life, and neither all of your names will be in mine"
She had no hesitation to cast away her family just like that, but because of what they had done, she had no mercy.
She stood up and walked towards the door before facing her head towards them.
"I hope that all of you will find your happiness and so do I"
It was the last words that Fresia said to them and she left without looking back while Daniel followed.
Soon after they left, the father and the sons sighed in relief.
"Is this the correct choice Father?" The Eldest son asked.
"Sigh, I believed it is. Moreover, we should think more about our family together with Delilah as well"
The Father answered with a wide smile as he recalled the woman named Delilah.
On the other hand, when Fresia left the room, Daniel noticed her state of emotion and couldn't help but question.
"Are you alright Fresia?" Daniel was concerned about her well-being and during their conversation, he remained silent.
"I need a hug" Fresia begged and he nodded.
He surrounded his arms with her body and buried her head deeper into his chest as he comforted her out of her suffering.
"I'm sorry master...but I n-
Before she could finish her sentence, Daniel interrupted.
"It's alright. I understand where you're coming from. So try to relax and let your feelings all out" He said which she finds appealing.
