Chapter 59: Guilt
How strange.
Heaven had been racking her brain about how to get along with her son. The original Heaven was resentful, and the current soul just didn’t share the same sentiments as the original Heaven. From their outlook on life and upbringing, they were very different in every aspect of life. The only similarity they had was that they were both inexperienced in being a mother.
The original Heaven only birthed the child. Other than that, she did nothing but glare and resent her child. Meanwhile, the current soul did not birth, nor did she ever have a child of her own in her original life. Although she always dreamed of having a family of her own, people often told her that birthing her own child and adopting was different. Moreover, considering the environment she was moving in, bringing a child into this world was not a smart move.
That was why she found it very strange.
What was this feeling in her heart? A feeling she never knew existed? When she saw Sebastian, she knew she’d burn the world for him.
Heaven observed her son, who was sitting across from her. She urged him to stay in the garden, and so, here they were. Sebastian was quietly reading a book, unbothered by the piles of books he brought to the table. Meanwhile, Heaven was pretending to read a book, just to not disturb her son.
’Fortunately, Miriam told me about him.’ She mentally sighed in relief before smiling subtly. ’Still, I’m glad he is rather cooperative and understanding. He’s really Dominic’s son...’
Her thoughts trailed off as she lowered her eyes. ’Now I understand why Heaven couldn’t accept this child. It’s those eyes.’
Heaven peeked at Sebastian, only to see him pick up another book while already keeping the first one open. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say Sebastian was Dominic’s mini-me. He had those same eyes his father bore, and back then, this child would often look at his mother with longing, confusion, and pain.
