Chapter 400: Chapter 400

Elena, can we still be friends?”

Elena shook her head gently and whispered to Luca in a soothing tone,

“It’s not your fault.

I don’t blame you, Luca.

Now, go back home.

Your mother is waiting for you, worried sick

Tears welled up in Luca’s eyes as he lowered his head, clearly conflicted.

“I don’t want to go back.

Without my father, we’re not a real family anymore.

”

Luca’s words caught me off guard.

Swiftly crouching down in front of him, I adopted a serious tone.

“Luca, your mother is deeply concerned about you.

She specifically asked me to find you.

”

Pursing his lips, Luca averted his gaze, refusing to utter a word.

It was evident that he still harbored resentment towards Riley.

I embraced Luca tightly, offering solace in my arms.

“Luca, you’re such a good kid.

Have a heartfelt conversation with your mother.

She’s waiting for you at home, and she needs your support and protection.

”

A glimmer of hope appeared in Luca’s eyes, his features softening amidst his tears.

“But I don’t want my parents to be apart,” he whimpered, his voice filled with sorrow.

I adopted a serious tone as I spoke, hoping to offer some clarity.

“Luca, there’s a lot you’ll come to understand as you grow older.

The reasons behind your parents’ separation are complex.

Neither of them is to blame.

But if you continue to hide from your mother, it will only bring her immense sadness.

Regardless of whether your parents are together or not, their Love for you remains unwavering.

”

Gradually, my words began to resonate with Luca

He regained his composure and nodded resolutely.

“Okay, I’ll go back home with you.

”

Upon our return to Riley’s house, I personally handed Luca over to his mother.

“Luca, you’re finally back,”

Riley enveloped her son in a tight embrace, tears streaming down her face.

With a sense of closure, the rest of us left, leaving the mother and son to share a tender moment in solitude.

After stepping out of Riley’s house, Elena and I were ready to head home.

However, just as we were about to leave, Caleb approached us, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“Debra, let me give you a ride home.

”

“No, thanks.

”

Without a moment’s hesitation, I declined his offer

“Why?” A shade of displeasure crossed Caleb’s face as he furrowed his brow.
