Chapter 1048 When Quinlan and Latonia found out about Chaseâs past they were shocked Looking at Sigrid, they stammered. âWe didnât know he â
âYeah you didnât know anything You just assumed and even made choices for me without asking what I wanted Sigrid with tears streaming down her face, cried out. âDid you ever realize that your decision cost me the person who loved me most?â
Watching Sigridâs tearâstreaked face. Latonia felt a pang of guilt Sigrid, Iâm so sorry. This is all my fault She grabbed Sigridâs cold, trembling hands, trying to warm them, while explaining âI thought Chase was a bad egg, so when I found out you two were together, I tried to break you up But after getting to know him more, I realized he wasnât as bad as I thought. I thought I misunderstood him, so I eased up on him I thought âYou thought that once you let go, he would win me back, and weâd be back together, and you wouldnât have to feel guilty about what youâve done, right?â
Latonia shook her head, but Sigrid was relentless âMom, tell me, did you ease up on him because you saw that Chase worked hard to make a name for himself and thought he was worthy of me, or because you knew his grandma killed herself due to your pressure?â
If it was the former, Latonia was just too stuck on social status.
If it was the latter, Sigrid would think that her mom didnât really love her At least, not the way she portrayed it, with undying love for her child âSigrid, how can you question your mother like this?â
Quinlan stepped in again to defend his wife âShe did try to break you and Chase up, but when she saw Chaseâs efforts, she thought he was decent and eased up.â
Signd ignored Quinlan and kept her eyes on Latonia In their family, the real decision maker was Latonia, not Quinlan Quinlan, the youngest son in his family, was pampered by his brothers and lived an even smoother life than Cedric. He married the woman he loved and was gentle and unambitious, so he was easygoing and always listened to his wife Whatever Latonia said, he would do, such a father was bound to take his wifeâs side. Sigrid used to think this family atmosphere was good, but if the woman in the family was too dominant, their children were bound to be unhappy.
Latonia knew Sigrid was waiting for her answer She lightened her grip on Sigridâs hands, looked into her tear filled eyes and sighed.
âSigrid, I didnât know that Chaseâs grandma killed herself because of me. If I did, I would have told you the truth back then.â
âWhy does someone have to die for you to tell me the truth?â
Faced with her daughterâs questioning, Latonia bowed her head in shame.
âI care about my image. I didnât want to tarnish your impression of me, so I didnât tell you I thought once Chase won your heart again, the past would fade with time...
She didnât expect that Chase would keep this secret for her, or that Sigrid would never forgive him......
Thinking of this, Latonia gripped Sigridâs hand tighter, trying to persuade her. âSigrid, since you know I forced him to break up with you, forgive him, okay? Be with him, I wonât object to your relationship anymoreâ
Sigrid laughed bitterly, shaking off her motherâs hand. âThe chasm between us has been carved out by a life. Do you think we can simply reconcile?â
While her parents might not have directly caused Chaseâs grandmaâs death, they bore an indirect responsibility. While Latonia could possibly reconcile with this fact and urge them to reunite, Sigrid couldnât Latonia glanced at her rejected hand, disappointment clouding her face. Sigrid, the incident with his grandma is my fault. Allow me to shoulder the blame. Donât abandon Chase because of it.â
âWhat a jokeâ
Sigrid was laughing, her body shaking with the force of it.
âThe one who encouraged me to give up on him was you, and now youâre the one urging me not to Donât you find that ridiculous?
