Chapter 508: Our best wasn’t enough
"Thank you, Silas. I’m sorry if we had misunderstandings in the past. I know this is a bit late, but I hope we can start on a clean slate as well."
Silas didn’t need to lean forward and turn his head to see the kind smile plastered on Heaven’s face. The person sitting beside her was small and there weren’t any people sitting in the vacant seats before his spot.
’How strange,’he thought, assessing Heaven’s countenance. ’She really did say sorry.’
Silas had a glimpse of how crazy this woman was. He knew she was sick in the head when she brought Mercy to the north wing, where the latter chased after him. But then, an incident happened that made most of them stay in the hospital. But when everyone returned from the hospital, Heaven would stay in the north wing with Mercy.
Heaven would let Mercy run around the garden and sometimes inside the north wing. She said it was because she took a liking to the north wing, but Silas knew for sure it was her way to keep him locked inside his room. It was the reason Silas moved out on top of other business reasons. But now, this same woman was apologizing and suggesting they forgive each other.
A slight doubt rose in Silas’s heart, but at the same time, he didn’t rule out the possibility she was being sincere. She looked sincere, after all. Moreover, Miracle’s existence maybe changed her psychotic mother.
"Of course." After a quick contemplation, Silas returned Heaven’s smile with a wide smile. "We are family, after all. It’s normal to have misunderstanding and banter, but at the end of the day, we only got each other’s back."
Relief instantly swirled in her eyes, which Silas didn’t miss. Lionel and Ria were also relieved to hear Silas’s remarks, nodding approvingly at each other. Grandma Zhu, on the other hand, grumpily let out a huff. However, she didn’t interrupt anything, as this was good for the family. It was the same for Axel, despite that he wanted to harass Silas to get back at him.
"Uncle Silas, thank you for the gifts again." This time, Sebastian faced his uncle and smiled warmly. "I thought they were for Miracle, but I’m surprised there are gifts for me as well."
