Chapter 29 29: Jonathan's concern

Shortly after, the dinner came to an end and everyone departed for their respective homes.

Once everyone had left, Eveline went back to her room as well. However, before she could take a step inside, Jonathan called her.

Eveline was his precious daughter, someone he loved more than anything in this life. A treasure his wife left before she passed away.

"I wish your mother could be here today. She would have felt more at ease observing everyone's happiness," he said as a glimpse of his wife's smiling face crossed his mind and he smiled.

"Are you missing Mom?" Eveline understood the meaning behind his smile and inquired.
