BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2814 No Need To Turn Back
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, you've already lived for yourself for decades. Just continue living for yourself. Please don't 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 Jinyuan's 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 son's 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 Xiao's heart ached.
Her son had grown up and matured. Why would he need her concern?
She didn't care about him in the past, and he didn't 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 didn't wish to disturb the two of them either, but I couldn't see your father or you. I could only come and disturb the two of them. I'm sorry to have troubled you again."
Madam Xiao, who wasn't thirsty, held the glass tightly as if she was looking for the courage to continue speaking. "You're right. I only want other people to fulfill my wishes. I've never thought of fulfilling other people's wishes myself. I was like this in the past and I'm still like this at my age.
"I regret it too, but it's useless to regret it. I have to swallow the bitter fruit I planted back then. Ah Yuan, I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I've 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 don't have to apologize. I don't think you're wrong either. You chose the path you like. We chose to let go and let you pursue what you wanted in peace. We don't have any grudges. Why do you have to apologize to me?
"We don't have any grudges, and we don't owe each other anything. You don't have to apologize. Our Xia family didn't take your actions to heart, so you don't 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. They're living day by day. As juniors, we just want them to live out their old age in peace. We don't want them to worry about us anymore, let alone worry about unrelated people.
"That's 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. Let's not disturb each other."
