Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 509

"Heh... I know, you all blame me - Mom, Dad, and you! You all think that because Aberdeen and I went out, and she disappeared while I came back, I should carry the blame, right?" "You'd rather I hadn't come back at all, wished I'd died with her!"

"Shut up " Teague's expression turned icy in an instant, his gaze sharply intimidating, "Say 'dead' one more time, I dare you!"

"Ha... Twenty-eight years, and you really think she's still alive? Grandpa and Grandma refusing to give up doesn't surprise me; Aberdeen was their darling. At their age, how could they live without hope?" "But what I didn't see coming, Teague - is that you're still hung up on her!"

"We've been married for over two decades, our son is nearly ready to start his own family, and yet, you're still fixated on her? Haha- Isn't that laughable? Disgusting?!" Smack-

Mom and Dad feel that way, so does Teague.
