For as long as she could remember, Mary and Brantlee's father had always been a couple, but because she was born really pretty, she had always looked down upon Brantlee's father.
Saoirse had heard in the past that the reason Mary had married Brantlee's father was because Mary's father had been heavily in debt. And during those days, Brantlee's father was wealthy hence Mary married him so he would help her pay off all of her father's debts.
Brantlee continued, "When my dad was alive, he treated my mother very well. Everyday he would help wash my mom's feet. Even the water she drank was served by my dad. But mother was never grateful and even said that he was a good-for-nothing. Until he passed away, no one treated her as a queen anymore."
Brantlee paused and said helplessly, "Mother became crazy. She didn't react much on the first day my dad left. After a week of my dad's passing, she locked herself in her room and cried every day. It took her a long time to be able to walk out of that dark place again."
Saoirse did not expect that so many things had happened. She sighed and said, "Aunt Mary was a lucky woman. She found a man who treated her so well."
"But my mother wasn't grateful when my dad was alive. She always felt that my dad was a disappointment and looked down on my dad."
Saoirse put on a bitter smile and said, "In fact, it's most important for a woman to find a man who knows her well and cares about her for the rest of her life."
Brantlee suddenly stared at Saoirse, "What about you, Saoirse? Does your husband treat you this way?"
Saoirse was stunned.
Seconds later, she stood up, "Brantlee, I'll head back first."
Brantlee didn't send her home.
When Saoirse returned, she saw that Matthew was on the phone.
His voice was very gentle. The smile on his lips was faint but charming, and even his eyes were sparkling.
Saoirse stood still as she stared at him.
Both William and her were never like this when they chatted.
She knew that William was on the phone with Selina.
Saoirse felt her heart ache when she witnessed the scene, but at the same time, something came into her mind.
She thought of what Brantlee had said.
She recalled what she had heard from Brantlee after he told her about his parents' love story.
"In fact, it's most important for a woman to find a man who knows her well and cares about her for the rest of her life."
This was her biggest problem.
Why couldn't she do it?
She clearly knew that William didn't have her in his heart, but she still chose to involve herself with him.
At that moment, her head felt as if it was going to explode soon and her ears were full of buzzing sounds.
She felt like her world had started to slowly collapse.
William had always been by her side, but his heart had never been with her.
Then why did she continue to do it?
Saoirse did not have the answer to it either.
Perhaps there wasn't an answer after all.
Half a month had passed.
Since Matthew left Agaphen City, there were rumors about him. He couldn't stand the repercussions of those rumors despite him not being in Agaphen City anymore.
At this moment, the Perry Group was also in imminent danger.
Fortunately, Tobias was there to help him.
That day, Selina had visited Yesseca's residence again.
There was still no news about Lothar.
Yesseca was simple- minded. She remembered the time when Sierra mentioned that there was no signal at sea which made her think that it was normal to not be able to contact Lothar. She even comforted Selina and told her not to worry.
However, Selina felt that the explanation was slightly suspicious.
She understood Lothar.
Lothar was a man with a strong sense of responsibility.
It was proven by the way he had raised Yesseca after his mother's passing.
It wasn't a big deal that Lothar didn't contact her, but having not contacted Yesseca for such a long time, this was what made Selina suspicious.
Selina had asked Yesseca if she knew where
Lothar's company was.
But Yesseca hadn't the slightest idea at all.
She only said that Lothar's last phone call to her was to tell her that he would be heading out to sea. After that, he did not contact her anymore.
