Chapter 23


    Jeffrey and Lara froze. Barbara was also stunned. She looked at Alfie, then Moira, and asked in


    shock, “You don’t really mean it, do you?”


    That was also the question on Alfie’s mind. Lara took the chance and said, “Howe? Moira won’t


    be so ruthless, right, Moira?”


    Moira stared at Alfie. “Dad told mest night that you would apologize to me on your knees, and


    that’s why I’m here today.” She left him no choice.


    Alfie was never


    never so embarrassed. He looked at Moira and asked, “If I kneel, sill you forgive me?”


    “It’s my choice to forgive you, but it’s your choice to kneel or not,” Moira answered.

    Lara’s face darkened a little when she heard what Moira said. She wanted to say something but


    was stopped by Jeffrey. Of course, she wanted Alfie to manry Moira, but Moira was not their only


    choice in Amelo.


    “Dot have to?” asked Allie.


    Moira was amused. “Don’t you remember what you saidst night?”


    Alfie’s face stiffened. He did sayst night he wanted to apologize to Moira on his knees. He was


    just saying it. But Moira took it seriously.


    Now, even if he didn’t want to kneel, he had to. He took a step back. “Fine, I’ll kneel and apologize,


    Moira.” He gritted his teeth as he said this, word by


    word.


    Moira looked at him without the slightest intention to stop him. She sat there as if she was waiting


    for him to kneel.


    The room was quiet. And after they had been deadlocked for a while, Alfie finally moved


    However, just as he was about to hold onto a chair and kneel, a female voice suddenly came. “Not


    Alfie, don’t


    ire broke in crying, pushed Alfie away, and knelt in front of Moira. “I should be kneeling! It’s all


    because of me, Moira. He only left the wedding to save me. I’m the one to me!


    “I kneel and apologize to you, Moira! If you are still mad, p me as you want,” said ire. She


    grabbed Moira’s hand and pped herself with it while apologizing to Moira.


    Seeing this, Alfie hastily reached out to drag ire up. “ire, get up. You don’t have to do this!”


    said Alfie.


    However, ire pushed him away. “As long as Moira forgives you, I can do anything!” she said.


    Allie had no choice but to look at Moira. “Moira, what exactly do you want me to do?”


    Moira nced at him and asked, “Feel sorry for her?”


    As she said that, she picked up the red wine ss on the side, filled it with coffee, and poured it


    down ire’s head. “Karma’s a bitch, ire. This is what you deserve.”


    “Ahh!” ire eximed. The coffee was still hot. Alfie couldn’t bear to watch anymore and


    snatched the ss. “Enough’s enough, Moira!”
