Chapter 1048
When Quin and Latonia found out about Chase’s past they were shocked Looking at Sigrid, they
stammered. “We didn’t know he ”
“Yeah you didn’t know anything You just assumed and even made choices for me without asking what I
wanted
Sigrid with tears streaming down her face, cried out. “Did you ever realize that your decision cost me
the person who loved me most?”
Watching Sigrid’s tear–streaked face. Latonia felt a pang of guilt Sigrid, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault
She grabbed Sigrid’s cold, trembling hands, trying to warm them, while exining “I thought Chase
was a bad egg, so when I found out you two were together, I tried to break you up But after getting to
know him more, I realized he wasn’t as bad as I thought. I thought I misunderstood him, so I eased up
on him I thought
“You thought that once you let go, he would win me back, and we’d be back together, and you wouldn’t
have to feel guilty about what you’ve done, right?”
Latonia shook her head, but Sigrid was relentless
“Mom, tell me, did you ease up on him because you saw that Chase worked hard to make a name for
himself and thought he was worthy of me, or because you knew his grandma killed herself due to your
pressure?”
If it was the former, Latonia was just too stuck on social status.
If it was thetter, Sigrid would think that her mom didn’t really love her
At least, not the way she portrayed it, with undying love for her child
“Sigrid, how can you question your mother like this?”
Quin stepped in again to defend his wife
“She did try to break you and Chase up, but when she saw Chase’s efforts, she thought he was decent
and eased up.”
Signd ignored Quin and kept her eyes on Latonia
In their family, the real decision maker was Latonia, not Quin
Quin, the youngest son in his family, was pampered by his brothers and lived an even smoother life
than Cedric. He married the woman he loved and was gentle and unambitious, so he was easygoing
and always listened to his wife
Whatever Latonia said, he would do, such a father was bound to take his wife’s side. Sigrid used to
think this family atmosphere was good, but if the woman in the family was too dominant, their children
were bound to be unhappy.
Latonia knew Sigrid was waiting for her answer
She lightened her grip on Sigrid’s hands, looked into her tear filled eyes and sighed.
“Sigrid, I didn’t know that Chase’s grandma killed herself because of me. If I did, I would have told you
the truth back then.”
“Why does someone have to die for you to tell me the truth?”
Faced with her daughter’s questioning, Latonia bowed her head in shame.
“I care about my image. I didn’t want to tarnish your impression of me, so I didn’t tell you I thought once
Chase won your heart again, the past would fade with time…
She didn’t expect that Chase would keep this secret for her, or that Sigrid would never forgive him……
Thinking of this, Latonia gripped Sigrid’s hand tighter, trying to persuade her. “Sigrid, since you know I
forced him to break up with you, forgive him, okay? Be with him, I won’t object to your rtionship
anymore”
Sigridughed bitterly, shaking off her mother’s hand. “The chasm between us has been carved out by
a life. Do you think we can simply reconcile?”
While her parents might not have directly caused Chase’s grandma’s death, they bore an indirect
responsibility. While Latonia could possibly reconcile with this fact and urge them to reunite, Sigrid
couldn’t

Latonia nced at her rejected hand, disappointment clouding her face. Sigrid, the incident with his
grandma is my fault. Allow me to shoulder the me. Don’t abandon Chase because of it.”
“What a joke‘
Sigrid wasughing, her body shaking with the force of it.
“The one who encouraged me to give up on him was you, and now you’re the one urging me not to
Don’t you find that ridiculous?
