Chapter 1167: Can I save them this time?
After that fire incident, Enzo was never the same. He might have been the same father to Zoren, but never the same husband. He shunned all news about Naylani, and no word about her reached his son’s ears.
And after that incident, he never mentioned her name — not even once.
The once affectionate husband, who would have caught the entire universe for the love of his life, had coldly thrown out all of her things. Some of them, he burned. The man who used to think about his wife and son in his waking moments and thanked the heavens for blessing him with such family every night was no longer the same. He never looked for her, cried for her, or even dreamed about her.
It was as though she never existed.
For Enzo, it was only him and his son.
Love? He didn’t need that anymore, not when he had an adorable, yet very smart kid by his side.
Was it easy? Hell no. But that was the only way Enzo could protect his son from anything. Therefore, even if it killed him, he had to forget that, once in his life, there was someone he had promised everlasting love. Even if every waking moment was crippling, he remained headstrong for his son. Even if he felt ashamed for failing to protect his promise of a complete family, he would still offer his son the best smile he could.
Eventually, it became a habit.
Did he forget Naylani? Not even for a second. But pretending that she had never existed eventually got easier. Before he knew it, two years had already passed.
As for Zoren... time just passed.
