S31 62. It’s Not Too Late

“Sorry, I didn’t attend your wedding,” the old woman whispered,

making everyone emotional. “Sorry, made you go through everything alone.”

Biting her lip, Melanie closed her eyes. Those words felt healing in her heart. All wounds seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

“Thank you,” she replied briefly. She didn’t want to ruin anything again with words she might not have realized.

“Yes,” Diana rubbed her daughter-in-law’s back. “And no. I am the one who should be thanking you. You have accompanied my son for the rest of his life. You have also given me grandson, just like Vivian.”

With a gentle smile, Diana turned her head to the side. There, Vivian curled her lips gracefully.

“You two… can you make peace for my sake? I’ve been gone for too long. I’ve never had true family before.”

“I don’t mind.” Vivian shrugged. “I’m actually happy that we are friends.

While looking at Vivian, Melanie let out a faint sigh. Her eyes rolled lazily. Diana noticed that.

“Do you still think that life is a competition?” Diana raised an eyebrow.

Melanie’s head straightened again. Her eyes widened.

“No, Dear,” Diana patted the back of Melanie’s hand. “Don’t end up like me. Don’t fall into an abyss of endless regret.”

Still with knitted eyebrows, Melanie pursed her lips. Before she could protest, Diana whispered, “Stop putting yourself in the shadows of the

past. Embrace your happiness.”

Diana stretched out her hand, gesturing for Vivian to come closer. When Vivian arrived at her side, she grabbed her hand and forced

Melanie to shake hands.

“I know the relationship between you must be awkward. But, you can try to smooth it out. Forget all the pain about Norman. I’m afraid he won’t be happy there if you two are still arguing.”

Seeing Melanie’s reluctance, Vivian smiled wryly. She realized that the woman’s ego was still high. “Forgive me.”

Melanie’s ears suddenly pricked up. A strange feeling crept into her chest.

“I’m sorry for thinking that my suffering was greater than anyone else’s. I didn’t know that your life was actually more difficult than mine. Apart from the problem regarding Norman, you still had to face. Rowan and the dilemma of taking care of your son. Not to mention the enemies of the Harper family business. The decisions you took

were much heavier than mine.”
