Chapter 482: Ridiculous
"Hmp! Good thing you know!"
Another deep sigh slipped past Heaven’s nostrils, darting her eyes between the brothers. She wanted to ask Dominic to give her a moment with Axel, but somehow, she thought it was better if Dominic would hear her thoughts about it.
"Axel, I understand your feelings and I’m grateful that you are being angry in my stead." She smiled subtly, waiting for Axel to look back at her before she continued. "But... what do you want me to do? Don’t you want me to forgive your brother? Or make him suffer to get back at him? Do you want me to drag this problem until we’re both drained and helpless?"
Heaven fluttered her eyelashes, keeping her attention on him. "Axel, your brother and I... aren’t perfect. We also make bad decisions and sometimes we make decisions that unintentionally hurt the people we love. But isn’t that what life is all about? We make mistakes and learn from them."
"I won’t deny the pain I went through the past few days and how I feel sorry for our baby." She placed her hand on her tummy. "But at the same time, I can’t be that cruel to my husband and to myself. He forgave me, and I forgive him. Was it that disappointing to give people chances?"
"..."
"If forgiveness is weakness, then I’d rather be weak," she added with a confident smile. "I’d rather be weak with a heart than be a strong, empty shell."
Axel’s frown deepened while staring at his sister. He opened his mouth, only to shut them again. How was he supposed to argue with her? If she forgave him for being so cruel, then what else could he do? That was her decision.
It wasn’t like Dominic was entirely a bad person. His brother was annoying at times, but he had been a good brother, overall. Axel and Dominic wouldn’t have such a relationship if Dominic was just as greedy and dislikable as Silas.
