บท 395: Reflections on the Past

Eric glanced at Ella and smiled gently. "Ella, will you stay here?"

Ella nodded. After all, what needed to be faced would eventually have to be faced.

Since she had decided to stay, she might as well have a clear and honest conversation to bring some relief to her heart.

Luke left silently with Eric, while Ella sat down, locking eyes calmly with Lucas.

Lucas's gaze was filled with tenderness. "Ella, I'm so sorry…I didn't know about you all these years. I didn't know you were my daughter."

Ella pressed her lips together. "It's not your fault. You've always only cared about your career."

A flicker of pain crossed Lucas's eyes. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be impossible for Ella to forgive him instantly. He would have to find another way to bridge the gap.
