As soon as Jake said that, Vireo and Mira were both stunned. The man who was still crazily resentful earlier on unexpectedly and suddenly became harmless. Both Mira and Jake could not help but look at Jake at the same time. A burst of helplessness started to show on Jake's face, and there was also a rich sense of compromise in that helplessness.
"Mira, I'm sorry," said Jake. Mira was speechless.
"I have wronged you in the past. I didn't know how to appreciate you at that time. I treated you as something dispensable. I deserved to die for that. I have received my punishment later on, haven't I? My family is broken. My father got the death sentence. My mother was imprisoned. I was also..."
Speaking of that, Jake smiled bitterly. "I was also almost killed. I did not die, but I can no longer have children anymore. I just barely got to keep my life."
Jake took a long sigh. "Mira, I am hateful. Not only do I hate you for not saving me while I was dying, but also for pushing me over the edge of the cliff, making me n o longer be able to be like a normal person. However, when I see you and the child, I instantly have no hatred anymore. It was all because of me! I was too cruel and vicious to you back then! You're right. My evil actions were being punished. All of these are my retribution.
I originally shouldn't be alive, but I have lived on. Not only am I alive, but I even learn that I have a child. That child back then was not miscarried, right? This i s our child! Mira, look, you can't have a child anymore, I also can't have a child anymore. Both of us only had a child together. We're a family, aren't we? Let the three of us be together and live the rest of our lives loving each other. I've changed. I will be the servant to you and the child in the future. As long as I can live by you and the child's side, I am willing to kneel. Mira..."
No matter who was listening to Jake's words, they would hear endless remorse in his words. Such words were not sweet nothings, but they made Mira get caught in her memories.
Jake was her first love. Vireo could not compete with Jake's unrestrained attitude, his handsomeness, and his domineering nature. Vireo was too good to her. He was so good to her that he had no personality at all. When Mira thought about it at that moment, the person she loved the most was still Jake. It was just that she hated him too much back then, and he desperately wanted to do everything brutal to him.
However, things were already different from the past. Mira had witnessed Vireo protecting that girl. He even secretly gave her money for tuition and asked the girl t o study hard and whatnot. Mira was extremely jealous and hateful. However, for the sake of the bigger picture, she endured it. However, at that moment, Jake has already returned.
Jake was right. This six-year-old was Mira's biological child. She had hidden the child very well for four years. She never had the guts to tell Vireo about this child's existence. She was simply looking for a suitable opportunity to bring the child back and let Vireo accept this child as the matter of course. That way, she would be able to be with her child and also the man who loves her. She would then have a perfect family of three.
However, never would Mira have expected that Jake would return, and he would come looking for her and the child. Mira's mind instantly wavered. She had already forgotten how she had begged Vireo to come t o the provincial capital with her. She had forgotten how Vireo had taken care of her, loved her, and tolerated her time and time again in the past almost five years. She had forgotten about it.
No!
