"Clover, enough. If you still refuse to admit your mistake, then perhaps this is the end for us!" How cold and ruthless he must have been when he said those words back then?
"The end? So this is all I am to you. Edward Quinn... it turns out... you’re not worth my love at all. In this life, at this ti, I wish I had never fallen in love with you."
You are my R-U mother, you want to say sothing to , you are my R-U mother, you want to say sothing to , you are my R-U mother, you want to say sothing to , you are my R-U mother, you want to say sothing to , why, back then, did he not consider any other possibilities? Why was he unwilling to trust Clover a little more? If he had been willing to have so faith in Clover at that ti, he would have had Clover do a maternity test with that dead infant, and then they would have discovered that the dead infant also had no blood relation to Clover. Then the truth would have co out back then, and they would have found their child!
Why did it take until now for her to finally believe that it was their child?
Edward Quinn now sat leaning in the back seat of the car, his face already covered with tears. It was his fault, his mother’s fault, that led to such an outco. Even though he loved Clover so much, he didn’t trust her as much as Asher did.
No wonder Asher had scolded him like that back then, saying he would regret it.
Regret... as early as back then, after Clover disappeared, he regretted it, and now this belated truth only pushed him further into the abyss.
The more he loved Clover, the more he hated himself.
"Clover... it turns out all of this, I deserve it!" he murmured lowly, his heart filled with endless remorse.

As the wedding approached day by day, the father of the Kong family beca more and more anxious, knowing that once his daughter’s wedding was over, he would have to leave his daughter and wife.
At night, he told his wife, "After Alice’s wedding, the Corporation wants to go on a business trip. It might be a long one, so you’ll need to take care of Alice more."
"A business trip? How long will you be gone?" Mrs. Kong asked.
Mr. Kong hesitated for a mont and said, "About a year." For now, he said a year, hoping to give his wife so ti to adjust. After a year, he would find an excuse, like having a change of heart, to cut off ties with his wife and daughter.
By then, his daughter would have already given birth, minimizing the impact.
"But that’s too long. Won’t you still be away when Alice gives birth?" Mrs. Kong frowned.
"I... will take leave and co back," Mr. Kong forced a smile, but in his heart, he knew it was impossible for him to return, let alone see or hold his future grandchild.
"Can’t you not go on this business trip? Talk to your boss, your daughter’s already heavily pregnant, and they want you to be away for a year, at your age..."
"Because of my age, I want to earn as much money as I can while I still can. Even if the Howards have money, we can’t always rely on others. It’s better to have money ourselves," Mr. Kong said.
Mrs. Kong sighed deeply and said nothing more.
