Chapter 402: Going To See His Mother

After Marina lost her son Alexander and his family, she had entirely isolated herself from the Riverdale family, having nothing to do with them in the past two decades. It’s just that Aeldric refused to divorce her, so she still carried the title of his wife—just in name—for her.

She turned to Justin, unsure what to say. She was definitely emotional inside to see him alive, but she held back and said instead, "You seem to have grown up well. I am happy for you. Unfortunate that you had to be back to this hell once more."

Justin stood up. He couldn’t disrespect this genuinely worried woman and said, "Thank you for your concern. I can handle it," he assured.

"I can only pray for you," the woman said. "That old man there, he is a maniac, and I am sad once again that I have no power to protect you from him."

"It might be the other way around," Justin said.

Marina raised a brow and chuckled. "Trust me, then I would be the happiest person."

Aeldric was clearly displeased. Just like in the past, his grandson was close to his wife while he disregarded him entirely.

"Now that you are here, have dinner with us," Aeldric said to her.

Marina didn’t respond to the old man, while she said to Justin, "If you are planning to have dinner here, I will wait for you till you finish. I don’t eat or drink anything in this heinous place."

"I am not here to have a meal," Justin replied. "Just thought of offering a visit to a place where I was said to be present in the past."

"Then would you want to come with me? You might like to visit your mother first," Marina offered.

Justin didn’t react to it, as he had to conceal any emotions, but there was a flicker of change in his gaze upon hearing it—that he wanted to see her.
