Chapter 1163

Ethan always reminded him of the things they used to do together. It filled his heart and sometimes even made him tear up—not from sadness, but from nostalgia for a past that no longer felt real or present.

In his talks with Theodore, they both agreed that life had given them a second chance.

For Peter, life gave him a woman who loved him with all his strengths and flaws, two beautiful daughters he'd seen born, an excellent son, and a wonderful grandson who constantly reminded him of the man he used to be.

Life also let him have his mother nearby, who, with all her wisdom-little or much -offered advice and soothed his old fears.

Theodore often said they were both lucky. They got to rebuild their lives, even if it meant leaving some things behind—like their messy pasts. They weren't saints, not by a long shot. They'd done bad things. They'd lost a lot.

Peter had lost his memories, a great love-someone he completely forgot. He lost a beautiful story that could've been. But he didn't regret his present.

Theodore had lost time. Now he was the father of two and married to a beautiful woman, but he knew life could take it all away at any moment. He wasn't eternal. He wouldn't get to see his daughter grow up or Adam's sons become men. Still, he was grateful for the time life gave him to be happy.
