Chapter 231

CassandraToday I picked up Miles. I always enjoy picking him up and greeting him with a happy face.After that, Miles immediately invited me to go to a café that had caught his interest ever since he passed by it, a sweet café dominated by chocolate. Since today was so relaxed, I went there with Miles.As soon as we entered, greeted by the truly delicious scent of chocolate, I felt that this was a great place to make Miles happy.“I want this monster ice cream,” he immediately told the waiter his order.Looking at the picture of the item on the menu, I decided not to order anything, already knowing what would happen next, based on my observations from being his mother.“Mom, I can’t finish it,” he murmured, leaning back against the chair while holding his stomach.Just as I had expected, I immediately took the large glass of ice cream in front of him and started eating it myself.I was truly used to things like this, or you could say every mother understands her child well.Ten minut

CassandraI walked along the beach with Miles and Sebastian. We had just come back from the private island Grandpa had given him. His reaction when we arrived there was incredible, he had even set up a board displaying a drawing he had made.After spending six hours there, we returned to another island because his private island didn’t yet have a place to stay. So we spent the night on a different island that was a tourist destination.“Like I said, Uncle, it’s going to be an amazing place,” Miles said excitedly, hopping a little. “Can we put horses there?”His voice was very clear when he asked. He stopped walking just to look Sebastian in the eye. Without the slightest hesitation, Sebastian nodded immediately.“Yes. Uncle will build it. On your island, there will be many horses.”I couldn’t even keep up with their conversation at that moment. They wrapped it up quickly, and I simply went along with it.“Miles, don’t think about it too hastily.”While we were on his island, he had me

CassandraThe moment I sat down in the place he had prepared, I could see how serious he was about making Miles feel comfortable here. There were many toys and foods that were very appealing to children. It was clear that this meeting was not accidental at all.He sat across from me, trying to appear relaxed, but I could see the tension in the movements of his hands.“You want to talk about my mother.”He nodded, then let the waiter place drinks in front of the two of us. Even though he handled it well, I had no intention of enjoying what he served or acting relaxed here.I would grow even more irritated if it turned out he was pretending to have something to talk about regarding my mother. That would be a waste of time.I looked at him, and then he took a breath.“Selena was still young back then. She liked many things, such as art. Our first meeting happened in an alley between buildings.” He began his story, a fleeting smile crossing his face, sketching the pain he carried.He took

Chapter 234

CassandraAt this moment, I truly did not expect my tears to be so difficult to stop. I was genuinely afraid that my sobbing would completely spiral out of control. My mother’s calm words, about my life, about everything—felt mixed together, tangled, and unfair.This feeling… is beyond my control.As I tightly clutched the bracelet, it was as if my mother were holding my hand.“Forgive me… forgive me.”“You don’t need to punish yourself.”“I’m sorry.”It was as though I heard those words coming from my mother’s own lips. We have both lived complicated lives. This is deeply painful for all of us.After moments like this, I hope that from now on things will move forward more gently, with the weight that has burdened my heart finally fading away.Finally, this conversation ended after more than thirty minutes. Even after I had wiped away my tears, I looked at him with a calmer gaze.“I came to see Seline’s grave.” He paused, his hand tightening before he spoke again, as if trying to stea

Chapter 235

SebastianI watched her quietly. I was certain she knew very well about me. And this meeting happened because I wanted to meet her.My mind was always filled with Cassandra. Her red, swollen eyes worried me—she must have cried a great deal.What she said that night made me uneasy. Our relationship now was no longer just about Cassandra and me; Miles was involved as well. And I was afraid I might not truly be able to fulfill the promise I had spoken.“So you wanted to meet me to give me a warning?”He was aware of my presence here. The man looked at me with a gentle smile on his face.“I won’t do anything, and I won’t distance myself from her.”My eyes fixed on him sharply. The thought of him disturbing Cassandra greatly irritated me. I would make my warning clear to him.“Even if you are her father, I will do something to you.”I never hesitated to give comfort to Cassandra’s life; she deserves the very best in her life. I could also easily find a way to get rid of this man.“I like y
