Wife’s Return 294

Chapter 294 I Am Doing This Wholeheartedly 

The restlessness in her heart was gradually soothed by the cheerful melody being played. Olivia rose and walked over, settling down beside Liam. Turning her head, she smiled and said. “Would you like me to play with you!” 

Liam was quick to nod, saying, “Sure 

Their fingers danced in harmony as the lively melody of Minute Waltz echoed in the air. 

Tony quietly came in, placing a plate of freshly cut fruit on the table. Then, just as quietly, he slipped out, not wanting to disturb them. 

Meanwhile, within the private cemetery of the Carter family, Nathan had been kneeling for a full hour. His legs had gone numb, yet he still kept his back straight. 

At that moment, the sky began to turn dark, raindrops falling, swiftly drenching his hair. 

“Mr. Carter, please, don’t kneel!” Ethan pleaded as he rushed over with an umbrella to shield Nathan from the rain. 

He was well aware of how stubborn Nathan was, with very few people able to change the latter’s mind. 

Even though his persuasion might not work, he still had to try. After all, Nathan’s weakened condition didn’t allow him to kneel like that.. 

“Mr. Carter, you’ve been kneeling for an hour now. That’s enough. Please get up.” 

Nathan remained unmoved, as if he hadn’t heard Ethan’s words at all. 

He stared at the tombstone ahead, his thoughts subconsciously drifting off to Olivia 

Not long after her father’s unfortunate incident years ago, she was sent to the Carter family by the Monroe family. 

In the years that followed, his mother would send her away every time his father’s death anniversary came around. 

At that time, he assumed his mother did it because she didn’t want to see Olivia on that day. 

s young and fatherless, harboring resentment toward her. He clearly didn’t care about her at 

Back then, he was young 

Looking back, Nathan suddenly felt that he was so naive back then. 

He was young, but Olivia wasn’t much older either. In fact, she was even more è pitiful than him, having lost both her parents. 

On a subsequent death anniversary, Olivia was sent away by his mother as always. Overcome by a sudden impulse, he secretly followed her, curious to see where she was being taken. 

It was during this particular instance that he discovered his mother had forced Olivia to kneel before his father’s grave in penance. 

To put it mildly, it was Olivia’s atonement, but in reality, his mother had vented all her resentment on the former. 

He could never forget the sight of her kneeling before his father’s grave. She seemed so frail, as if a mere gust of wind could knock her over. 

It was likely then that he began to sympathize with her. 

Back then, she spent entire days on her knees, never knowing how to resist. He had no idea how she managed to endure it all. 

With that, he increasingly couldn’t bear to see her always accepting her fate blindly 

Hence, he would always find excuses to reduce the amount of time she had to kneel. 

He was grateful that he still had a shred of conscience back then.

It had only been an hour, yet he was already finding it unbearable. 

To think that the spent an entire day kneeling. 

Thinking of this, he felt a sharp pang hit his heart, and the hands resting on his lap slowly clenched into fists, 

How old was the back then? How much determination did she have to have to endure it all? 

A myriad of emotions were swirling uncontrollably in the depths of Nathan’s eyes, impossible to suppress. 

Finished 

Standing next to him. Ethan could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from Nathan. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows, urging him once again, “Mr. Carter, please stand up. Your body can’t take this.” 

Emma looked at the figure kneeling before the tombstone, finding the scene deeply ironic. 

Is it really necessary for him to go to such lengths for that b*tch? Just what has she done to him for him to willingly art this way?
