Chapter 280. Already Have What I Seek (1)
While she just stared ahead, silent yet focused, her calm little face looked a little pale. A while after that, his fingers tightened and he silently held her hand.
He coughed and took a tissue to cover his mouth. With a deep inhalation, he suddenly said softly, “There are some things that are taboo to bring up to the Mu family. No one has ever mentioned Aunty’s name all these years. Everyone feels that time can conceal all this unhappiness.”
As he said this, there was a faint smile on his lips. He turned to look at the green weeping willows that they left behind and said lightly, “There’ll be some things you want to forget, but it’s hard, especially when you’ve experienced it personally…”
