2814 No Need To Turn Back

He didnt use a sharp tone, and there was even a faint smile in his voice. However, the words he said made Madam Xiaos eyes turn red.

It was said that mother and son shared a strong bond, but when it came to her, she was walking further and further away from her son

For the first time in her life, she regretted it. She had squandered her entire life because of her willfulness.

She also thought that she would spend the rest of her life following the desires of her heart. She thought that no one would restrain her or burden her. No matter where she went, she would be at home.

Did she really think so

Madam Xiao turned her body and secretly raised her hand to wipe the tears that flowed out.

The figure that turned to the side was slender and fragile, exuding the loneliness of a person entering old age. However, Xia Jinyuan was unmoved.

Madam Xiao, youve already lived for yourself for decades. Just continue living for yourself. Please dont treat our Xia family as a part of your willfulness.

The Xia family has nothing to do with you, and you have nothing to do with our Xia family.

Xia Jinyuans tone was cold the entire time. He spoke to Madam Xiao without any anger. The more he spoke, the sadder Madam Xiao felt.

She listened to her sons emotionless accusation in a daze. Even though she was mentally prepared before she came, when she faced all this she still felt sad.

Retribution. This was retribution!

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Madam Xiao faced her son again. Looking at his increasingly mature face, Madam Xiaos heart ached.

Her son had grown up and matured. Why would he need her concern?

She didnt care about him in the past, and he didnt need her concern in the future.

She thought that she was free, but in the end, she realized that she had dug her own grave.

I didnt wish to disturb the two of them either, but I couldnt see your father or you. I could only come and disturb the two of them. Im sorry to have troubled you again.

Madam Xiao, who wasnt thirsty, held the gla.s.s tightly as if she was looking for the courage to continue speaking. Youre right. I only want other people to fulfill my wishes. Ive never thought of fulfilling other peoples wishes myself. I was like this in the past and Im still like this at my age.

I regret it too, but its useless to regret it. I have to swallow the bitter fruit I planted back then. Ah Yuan, I owe you an apology. Im sorry, Im sorry Ive let you down

If it were 12 years ago, Xia Jinyuan might have gotten very emotional when he heard this apology. But now there was no fluctuation at all.

He smiled faintly. You dont have to apologize. I dont think youre wrong either. You chose the path you like. We chose to let go and let you pursue what you wanted in peace. We dont have any grudges. Why do you have to apologize to me?

We dont have any grudges, and we dont owe each other anything. You dont have to apologize. Our Xia family didnt take your actions to heart, so you dont have to feel guilty.

I implore you not to come to the old residence in the future. The old master and the old madam are already old. Theyre living day by day. As juniors, we just want them to live out their old age in peace. We dont want them to worry about us anymore, let alone worry about unrelated people.

Thats why I beg you not to come again and live like before. You can continue to live a free life alone while we continue to live as a family. Lets not disturb each other.
