Chapter 479 Sean Has Been Regretting It All His Life
To be honest, Edna and your mother were best friends from childhood and they knew each other very
well. If this hadn''t happened, maybe they would have been friends for a lifetime. But her good friend
held her husband tightly and caused her to lose her unborn daughter, which really hurt your mother. So
her condition was really terrible then. If Edna hadn''t said these words to irritate your mother, she would
not have be sober. In a way, Edna''s n of getting your mother active worked at that time. After
that, Edna epted her father''s arrangement and married Gary. Then she left Imperial Capital with
him. Since then, there had been no connection between your mother and Edna. Even when Gary was
recalled to Imperial Capital after a few years, they both avoided seeing each other." Sean sighed
deeply when he mentioned the past.
"Jesus! Edna caused my mother to lose her daughter? No wonder my mother reacted so fiercely when
she heard Edna''s name." Zed was shocked by the truth and sighed.
Jean sighed as well. "A woman''s life is really not easy, especially our mother''s. Zed, we must be nicer
to Mother in the future. I didn''t expect she had suffered such a tragedy in her life." Jean''s eyes turned a
little red when she spoke these words. She was also going to be a mother, and naturally felt Jade''s
pain at that time.
Sean, who was ignored by both of them, looked at them bitterly and remorsefully. "If you want to scold
me, just do it! If I had pushed Edna away immediately, your mother would not have rolled down the
stairs. I am the one responsible for all the trouble. It''s because I''m such a jerk that your sister wasn''t
born. I am the reason behind your mother''s sadness." Sean covered his face with his hands in pain.
"Father, it''s over, so don''t me yourself anymore. If mother really mes you, then she wouldn''t still
be living with you. As you said just now, mother and Edna were best friends and knew each other very
well. So deep down, mother must know that nothing happened between you that day. Otherwise, she
would have left you."
Sensing his pain, Jean hurried tofort him.
"You''re right." Sean nodded in agreement as soon as he heard the words. Somehow, Jean''s words
managed to control his emotions. "I always wanted to exin things afterward, but your mother never
let me. In the days that followed, it seemed as if it had never happened, but I knew she carried a lot of
pain with her."
"Father, mother doesn''t need your exnation. All she needs is your love. Now that she is willing to
travel around the world with you, you have to put your past behind. So you better stop grieving and
ming yourself," Jean continued in herforting tone.
Hearing Jean''s words, Sean looked at her excitedly. "I feel much morefortable after confiding in
you both. Earlier, I felt like a culprit. But today, I can feel the weight lift off my shoulder," he said in a
choked voice.
Zed and Jean saw the pain on Sean''s face fade away and was reced with relief. They smiled and
nodded. "Father, it''s all over. My biggest wish is to see you and my mother live together happily," Zed
said.
"Yes." Jean chimed in and said,"Father, now that Zed and I are about to have a baby, you and mother
are going to be grandparents. You should be happy."
"Who said it was over?" Jade, who had been away, suddenly appeared at the stairway and stared at
Sean with a cold face. "In the past, I have never spoken about it with Sean. That''s only because I
wanted to give Zed a happy life. Now that Edna is appearing, I would like to talk about it. Sean, don''t
you have each other in your hearts? Go back to her now!"
Jade''s face was furious and her eyes were ring at Sean fiercely.
Sean hadn''t expected Jade to pop up. There was a sh of embarrassment on his face. He stood up
somewhat bewildered and looked at her, not knowing how to exin it.
Zed and Jean looked at each other and then sighed heavily.
"Mother, father and Edna were innocent. Why do you say such words to sadden him?" Zed hurried up
to Jade and led her closer to Seam, trying to improve the situation.
"Innocent? If they were innocent, I wouldn''t have seen them hugging. Not to mention that it has
happened a long time ago, but he still remembered it vividly. You heard what he said just now. He
himself admitted that he was a little moved when Edna held him. Sean, since you are interested in her,
why don''t you go to her? Why are you still here?"
The more Jade talked, the angrier she became. Her red face depicted the fury she was feeling.
"Mother, please don''t get excited. Instead, listen to me. In my opinion, father didn''t pull free from the
hug because he knew that the Huang and Bai families would unite by marriage. He was aware of Edna
Huang''s situation and was sorry for her. Moreover, he was stunned by her actions and words which left
him dazed. Jean continued to persuade her,"Mother, you have been living together for so many years.
Don''t you know what Father is like?"
"Humph, I really don''t know what kind of person he is." Jade listened to Jean''s words, holding back her
temper. She thought Jean was a pregnant woman now so anger would affect Jean''s mood. Keeping
her anger in control, her face instantly eased a little.
"Jade, heaven and earth can testify I only love you!" Sean hurried to take the oath.
"Humph, I can''t trust you anymore." Jade only gave Sean a cold snort in return.
"Mother..." Zed saw that Jade was still angry and he sighed. "Don''t get mad at Father again. It''s all my
fault today. It is my curiosity that forced him to speak it out. If you are unhappy then you can me me.
I really don''t want to see you vent all your anger on him. He has been regretting what happened all his
life so please don''t make him even sadder."
"Does he regret it?" Jade''s face burst with sadness when her grief was mentioned. "If he regretted it
then he would not have done such a thing to hurt me."
"But it has happened, just let it go. If because of my curiosity your old wound has opened, then I won''t
be able to forgive myself," Zed said helplessly. He wanted this matter closed.
"Mother, please calm down first," Jean spoke in herforting tone. She continued,"How can you
possibly not understand what father is going through? It''s better not to say hurtful words to him."
Seeing Jean looking at her pleadingly, Jade nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"It''s not that I cling to the past. You ask him yourselves, have I ever asked him about it? But..."

Jade paused and sighed heavily. "Over the years, even though Edna and I were in the same city, she
was smart enough to not bother me. Today, however, she asked Zed to say hello to me for her. I think
it''s a bit suspicious. I have a hunch that I will meet her again soon..."
Thinking of this, her voice trailed off. There was pain in her eyes.
To put it bluntly, it was Edna''s appearance that affected her mood rather than the conversation.
In addition, Sean''s words reminded her of the pain she had experienced in the past. Her mood was so
sour that she had no one but Sean to vent on.
Sean grinned bitterly when he heard the words, but he still came forward and took Jade''s hand. "Jade,
it has been so many years, just let it go! Whether you will meet her or not, don''t think about it for the
time being. Live in the present."
Zed and Jean looked at each other and felt uneasy.
Jade''s words made them feel guilty. They felt responsible about bringing Edna back to her life.
They never thought that the appearance of Edna would make their mother feel so bad.
Obviously, the past really hurt Jade. Even though she said she was over it, she still clung to it.
What made Jean even guiltier was that this wouldn''t have happened if it wasn''t for her. ''I am the one
responsible for this, '' she thought.
