Chapter 138: Shameless for you
"I’m relieved Father sent Grandma to Elmswood. I didn’t want her to leave, but what she did was unforgivable," Alora expressed, urging them to enjoy the tea and snacks.
Her gaze repeatedly flitted toward the door, anticipating Magnus’s return with Venus. When he finally appeared, Alora was surprised to find Venus was not with him.
"She will be here after changing her outfit," Magnus informed them and took a seat. He found Alora had sat by her mother’s side. He let her stay seated there when Venus finally entered the drawing room with a servant.
Rhea and Norman left their seats to see Venus. She snuggled to both her parents and she cried her eyes out. Rhea tried to console her, but Venus was unable to stop her tears.
Alora’s eyes were also covered in tears and she wiped the corners of her eyes. She glanced at Magnus, who shook his head at her. She interpreted his gesture– not wanting her to cry.
When Venus finally stopped weeping, Rhea told her how Alora decided to free her. "Just apologize to your sister for what you have done so far," Rhea said as she caressed Venus’s cheeks.
Alora left her seat, but she didn’t look at Venus. What if she still carried wrong intentions toward her? She didn’t wish to perish her if their gazes would meet. The next second, Alora stumbled as Venus tightly embraced her.
"Forgive me, Alora. It was dark and scary. I never wanted to feel the fear you underwent for years. I’m extremely sorry. Perhaps my words don’t make you trust me because of what I did. I’ll prove you with my actions this time. Thank you for freeing me and if possible, forgive me," Venus’s apology was real this time. Every word she uttered came from the bottom of her heart.
"Venus, Alora can look into your eyes to prove that you are saying the truth this time," Magnus intercepted in the sisters’ moment.
