The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1197

Patricia went on. “If your mother did not encounter an obstacle she could not cross, why would she be willing to stay in a remote backwater? We're good friends, and I heard some of her stories before. I used to feel bad for her when I saw how hard life was for you and her. I was disgusted with that man. But Jennie said she never regretted anything—that she never regretted falling for that man and giving birth to you. She asked me not to think of her in that way. I don't know what happened between the king and your mother, but what I'm certain is that he's definitely not as terrible as that man has described him to be. Perhaps it's true that he had wronged your mother in some ways; he must have been someone worth your mother's love for your mother to have said that she never regretted falling for him.”

Natalie did not know her history in the past. After hearing Patricia's words, she found herself relieved.

If he wasn't the one my mother truly loved, why would my mother yearn for him? In the end... Mother still ended up leaving this world with regret.
