Chapter 772

“I’m drinking to numb my wistful thinking,” Leopold suggested without a hint of evasion.

Hertha fell silent. As a witness to the past romance between Thalassa and Leopold, no one understood better who it was that Leopold yearned for.

“Leopold,” Hertha began with guilt tinging her voice, “I apologize for my thoughtless words earlier. Thalassa has moved on and she doesn’t blame you. You should do the same and start anew.”

She felt guilty and thought she had probably hurt him with her words. Her thoughts were muddled with alcohol so she was rambling and losing her marbles.

She realized she really couldn’t get drunk. It always led her to speak without thinking.

Leopold dismissed her apology, “I’m not upset. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”

Hertha wanted to comfort him further, but she had already said all there was to be said. It was up to Leopold to sort through his feelings.

To let go of the past was to give himself a chance at peace.
