Begging For A Reconciliation

It was the first time Leah had seen Jane with that expression. On her face was a mixture of joy, worry, and sadness. She wondered why Jane would react that way when she saw Ryan.

Ryan broke the silence. He sighed as he put down his glass. “Long time no see, Janie.”

Leah’s mother’s name was Jane Crawford. If Ryan called Leah’s mother “Janie”, Leah believed he knew her. In fact, she was surprised when she realized their connection.

Jane broke into tears after hearing that. She walked toward Ryan and fell on her knees, which shocked Leah greatly. Ryan grabbed her in time and said, “You don’t have to do this.”

“I’m sorry, Dad. I’m a bad daughter. I abandoned you for twenty-three years and never visited you,” Jane said hoarsely.

Leah was stunned when she heard those words. Did Mom call him “Dad”? She looked at Ryan and Jane with her mouth agape. They were looking at each other. Even though Ryan’s expression was not gentle, his eyes were full of love when they looked at Jane.

“I thought you’d be living a difficult life after you left the Crawford family. I’ve never been so glad to be wrong. That boy really treated you well,” Ryan sighed and said.

Jane wailed when she heard that. She eventually calmed down and wiped away her tears. “It’s all my fault. You and Mom must be so disappointed in me, yet I’m troubling you again.”

“I know. You’ve been a troublemaker since you were young.” Ryan smiled while looking at her.

Listening to their conversation, Leah asked, “Mom, what’s going on?”

Jane quickly explained, “Oh, dear. I was so excited that I forgot to explain it to you.” She led Leah to the sofa and started to tell her about the past. Jane was originally the daughter of the Crawford family. After she fell in love with Gordon, she wanted to marry him.
