Chapter 106: Uncle Moon, You Remind Me Of My Father
Aurora didn’t understand how she ended up sitting and relaxing in the backyard sunroom, enjoying a view of a beautifully maintained modern garden.
She was not alone in that room; Thomas Moon was with her because Sophia had to go inside to do something.
Meanwhile, Alex had an unplanned meeting with his father and grandfather—an urgent matter prompted them to discuss something important.
After a minute of sitting and enjoying her warm tea, Aurora could no longer resist speaking with Thomas Moon.
Aurora gently placed the teacup on the table before glancing at Thomas, silently arranging the fresh flowers in the room.
"Uncle Moon," Aurora’s voice trembled; it felt strange to call her father that. She wanted to address him as ’father,’ but how could she do that? This man might think she was crazy.
A warm smile broke across her face when he finally turned to her. "Uncle, please sit with me. I feel strange enjoying so many snacks alone."
Thomas Moon’s eyes sparkled with surprise upon hearing Aurora’s words. Still, soon after, he offered a faint smile and approached her.
"Young Madam, I apologize if my presence disturbs you. I will be quiet now. Please take your time to enjoy your tea. Your mother-in-law will return shortly," he said.
Thomas Moon felt remorseful for distracting her. He quickly retreated to a corner, trying to stay quiet.
Aurora silently sighed deeply. She already knew her father would say those words. It was simply impossible for him to join her or sit with her.
