Chapter 316

Connor was visibly stunned by Sonny’s words. “What did you just say?”

Sonny turned to face Connor, speaking slowly and clearly. “I said I don’t want Mom to come back.”

The smile faded from Connor’s lips, and his face turned somber.

Connor asked, “Why?”

“Because I think Mom is really happy right now,” Sonny replied.

Connor hadn’t expected that answer. He tensed up a little, caught off guard.

He froze for a moment and then listened as Sonny went on to explain.

“Mom once told me that not every apology deserves forgiveness,” Sonny said, pausing to think. “Looking back, we really were awful to her. We hurt Mom, even sided with Tessa to hurt her. And yet, Mom’s the one who’s always been our closest, our real family.”

“And I realized, if I were Mom, and the ones I loved most hurt me like that, I wouldn’t want to forgive them either,” Sonny added.

Sonny’s voice was innocent and earnest, but every word landed like a punch right in Connor’s heart.

This was the truth Connor had never wanted to face or even think about since he’d come back.

Back then, he’d messed up plenty just for Tessa.

His marriage to Xylia had always been about Tessa.

He’d had Xylia thrown in jail, let her suffer crippling injuries, and refused to let her get medical help–all for

Tessa.

He’d let Sonny ignore his real mom and doted on him, just because Sonny liked Tessa.

That kind of favoritism shattered Xylia, left her broken and hopeless. Even now, she refuses to forgive them.

“Dad, I’ve seen Mom with Uncle Aaron. She’s really happy. I haven’t seen her smile like that in ages,” Sonny said, sounding thoughtful. “So I think we shouldn’t bother her anymore.”

Sonny looked like he’d finally let it go, his face relaxed and calm.

But Connor wasn’t happy at all.

“Two days at the Garcia Villa and you’re already sticking up for Joshua?” Connor shot back, his voice sharp.

When Connor’s face turned cold like that, it was honestly kind of scary.

Sonny didn’t dare say anything more.
