The man’s voice was as deep and melodious as ever, only now it carried the weight of years and
experience.
Just as Marlinie breathed a sigh of relief, she looked up in surprise at McNeil. By the time she thought
to escape, he was already sitting next to her.
Escaping was no longer an option!
Marlinie opted to keep herposure, turning her gaze to the distant scenery, “Did you need
something from me?”
McNeil stared deeply at her, maintaining a respectful distance, “I wanted to rify any
misunderstandings between us.”
Marlinie’s expression remained indifferent, and she still didn’t look at him, “Alright, go ahead.”
With a deep sigh, McNeil began, “There were so many misunderstandings between us in the past. You
thought I was unfaithful, and I thought you had feelings for someone else. It led to a lot of conflict
between us.

I can swear to you that I have never betrayed you. Our parents believed the rumors and drove you
away, and my young, hot-headed nature caused me to let it happen without resisting. I’ve been looking
for you ever since, never doubting your character, knowing you would never betray me!
Only recently have I discovered that it was my second wife, brought into the family behind my back,
who has been creating misunderstandings between us and even sent people after you in my name.
I’m sorry, Marlinie. I let you down!”
After listening to McNeil’s exnation, Marlinie’s face remained unchanged, “Are you done?”
McNeil nodded after a brief pause, “Yes, Marlinie. Do you still have any misunderstandings about me?
If so, please tell me. I can exin!”
“There’s nothing left!” Marlinie replied, appearingpletely disinterested in him.
McNeil frowned in frustration, took a deep breath, and carefully asked, “I heard from Byran that Pearl is
nning a honeymoon trip around the world with her husband. Marlinie, as Pearl’s parents, we weren’t
there for her as much as we should have been when she was little. So, how about we join them to help
take care of the children, as a way to make up for ourck of love for her? What do you think?”
Marlinie replied, “I can go with Pearl to take care of the children, but there’s no need for you. Pearl
doesn’t want to acknowledge you as her father!”
McNeil looked shameful, but wasn’t ready to give up, “But the children need a grandfather’s love too,
right? The more people who love them, the happier they will be!”
Marlinie was silent for a minute, “I’ll think about it and discuss it with Pearl. For now, I’m going to see
Pearl’s children. Don’t follow me!”
Marlinie calmly said these words, then stood up and walked towards the wedding reception.
“Marlinie, the Moonflowers are blooming again in our garden. Would you like to see them?” McNeil
asked loudly, not giving up.
Upon hearing this, Marlinie paused in her steps but didn’t move forward again.
A flicker of hope shed in McNeil’s eyes as he smiled, stood up, and walked towards her, like he was
stepping towards a fate back on track.
A monthter, the nchet family held another celebration.
The nchet’s granddaughter, Veronica, was engaged to a senior from her school, which was a match
made in heaven.
After the engagement party, Veronica and Moran were also going to join Theo and Ellinor on a
honeymoon trip.
Balfour, as Ellinor’s brother, along with Chase and his wife, saw them off at the airport.
Theo and Ellinor, apanied by their four little ones, Veronica and Moran, as well as Byran and his
partner Ida, who insisted on joining the revelry, set off.
In addition, there was Ellinor’s mother Marlinie, who was adamant about joining, and McNeil from the
Howard family.
After seeing them off at the airport, Balfour gently reminded Ellinor to be safe, warned Theo not to bully
his precious sister, then said his goodbyes to the four little ones, each with a hug.
The four children cheerfully waved goodbye to their uncle, Balfour, showing their understanding.
