The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 754

When Samuel started crying, Sierra and her parents were stunned. They looked at one another and saw a trace of guilt in each other's eyes. No matter what happened, seeing a grown man like Samuel break down made them feel like they had gone too far.

Sierra stepped forward and hugged him.

"Samuel, I'm sorry. I was wrong too. Please don't cry, okay?"

Samuel hugged her back tightly.

"Darling, I can't let you go. I just can't let you go. I truly regret saying the things I did."

"It's in the past now." Sierra sighed. "Let's not bring it up anymore, okay?"

"Darling, I want to call Sophia. I want to tell her that I'm sorry." Samuel tried hard to keep his emotions in check. "Use your phone since she blocked me. If you get through to her, let me say sorry.

"You were right. As her brother, I shouldn't have said those things. I was wrong too and will work on changing how I think. I'll try to see things from other people's perspectives."

Sierra's eyes reddened. "Samuel, are you really going to apologize to Sophia?" Samuel nodded. "Yes, I'll apologize. And I'll apologize to my mom too."

On his way back, Samuel had chatted with a cab driver, and what the driver said had stayed on his mind ever since.

The driver had said, "Every family has its own struggles, but home is a place for warmth and love, not where you keep score over who's right or wrong.

"As a man, taking a step back isn't a big deal. At most, it just bruises your ego a bit. But who cares about that? A sincere apology can make everyone feel better, and the conflict resolves naturally.

"No one likes a home full of arguments. If it's not a serious issue, then a real man should know when to back down. Think about it—if you insist on being right and winning the argument but losing your wife, is that even a win at all?"

After thinking it over, Samuel realized the driver had a point. That's why, when he got home, he had already decided. First, he would apologize to Sierra's family, then to Sophia, and lastly to Samantha. A home was supposed to be filled with warmth, not a battlefield.

Samuel was ready to bow his head first.

"Sierra, I truly want to apologize this time." Seeing that she still hadn't handed him her phone, Samuel spoke again. "They've both blocked my number. I can't call them even if I want to."

"Samuel, won't you feel wronged by doing this?" Sierra hesitated. "What if you apologize, but they don't accept it? They might say something even harsher to hurt you. I'm afraid you'll be upset."

"I'm fine." Samuel waved it off. "I'm not living with them. I'm only living with you, Dad, and Mom.

"All these years, I haven't been close to either of them. If we're talking about emotional bonds, there really aren't any. My only bond is with you.

"I'm apologizing to them because I regret what I said and did. Whether they forgive me or not, that's up to them. I don't care. The only person whose forgiveness matters, the only person I want to keep living with, is you. The rest don't matter."
