Chapter 241: Healing Traumas
After sending the children to their chambers and giving them goodnight kisses, Astri and her spouse go to Astri’s chambers. She goes to bathe and relax a little, and they wait in the bedroom in silence, as they were playing in their minds everything they want to say to her.
When Astri is out, she looks at her spouses, who have their eyes on her, and sighs. She starts to brush her hair, and then Zin goes to her and kindly takes the brush from her hand, slowly brushing her hair.
"We want to apologize, Astri.. I want to apologize. It wasn’t my intention to hide or keep you silent with the decisions of our family." Claud says.
"I know it wasn’t, love." She says.
"We need to apologize for many things, too. We were always putting the main responsibilities and decisions on Claud’s back. We made him tired and over pressured with things we also have the same responsibility as your spouses." Wayde says.
"Claud never asked for help all these years. He was always our leader and always knew what to do. We ended up relying on him, and he didn’t have anyone to rely on." Zin softly says.
"And that made him lock himself with responsibilities that are too heavy, and made him not know what is right or wrong. Fearing making mistakes and showing weakness." Tyr says.
"We apologized to him. We are brothers, and should rely on each other." Koa affirms.
The others nod in agreement. She smiles, truly happy for them.
