The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 697

Gorge poured wine for everyone. Charlotte lifted her glass, her voice catching slightly with emotion.

"Let's raise a glass to celebrate our eldest son's return. Congratulations, Sky, on your new beginning.

"You've made your mistakes, paid the price, and endured hardship. From now on, live well, and don't let foolishness find you again.

"Lincoln, Hector, both of you should take this as a lesson too. Never make the kind of mistakes your brother did. Do you understand?"

Lincoln and Hector nodded respectfully. "Father, Mother, we understand. We won't."

"Good. That's what I like to hear. Over all these years, only your brother has experienced such hardship. But even so, it's part of life, part of growing up. What's done is done. There's no need to dwell on regret. We just need to be more careful moving forward," Charlotte said, her expression softening.

"You're right, Mother. I'll remember that."

"Alright, let's eat," Charlotte said with a warm smile, picking up the serving spoon and placing a helping of food onto Sky's plate.

"You've lost weight and gotten tanner. You must've had a tough time in prison. Now that you're home, rest well. Focus on recovering, then slowly get back into work."

"Yes, Mother."

Sky responded to each comment politely. Then he picked up a serving spoon and helped dish out food for his parents and brothers. Once everyone had a plate, he lifted his glass and looked around the table.

"Father, Mother, Lincoln, Hector... this toast is for all of you.

"In the past, I was foolish. I misjudged people, acted blindly, and caused a lot of harm. That won't happen again. Truly, it won't. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for giving me another chance. I'm really grateful."

With that, he downed the wine in one go, then stood and bowed deeply to his family.

"Alright now, sit down and eat."
