Lisa took a deep breath and looked at Marco quietly. “Father, is it… really impossible for you and Mother to go back to before? I don’t understand. You still love Mother, and Mother loves you too. How did this happen? Every time I see Mother’s lonely expression, I…”

“She told you that she still loves me?”

Marco’s grip around the glass tightened whilst a light flickered in his dark eyes as he stared at Lisa. She looked at him quietly, having caught the hope in his eyes that was slowly reviving.

After some time, Lisa nodded. “Mother wouldn’t have stayed like this for so many years. Otherwise, she was just over 30 when she divorced you, and so many people were after her. Grandpa also introduced her to many successful entrepreneurs. They were all excellent, yet Mother’s heart never moved. I think she’s still hopeful.”

Was she still feeling hopeful?

Marco’s expression changed as he gripped his glass tightly and emptied it. He closed his eyes to calm himself down.

“I’ve betrayed her and you… I’ve made my mistake, Lisa… I won’t deny it, but your mother is the only woman that I’ve ever loved in my life. I’ve spent my past twenty or so years in loneliness to punish myself and in the end…

“Throughout all these years, I’ve thought of blaming you, but Mother always told me that the marriage failed because both you and she didn’t know how to keep the relationship going. She hoped I wouldn’t blame you or the family. Now that I think about it, no one loved you as much as Mother, if Mother insisted years ago, like how Yoo Dari anc Luna did now, what would’ve happened to you?”

“Mother has sacrificed so much that she’s almost left with nothing. Why can’t you put yourself in her shoe? Luna has the family and the Kim family. Even Yueying is theirs, but Mother has nothing, she never mentioned anything about it, and now you’re telling me that you only love Mother…Father, just what is showing your love for her? If you love her, shouldn’t you treat her well, give her everything, and satisfy all her needs while protecting her by her side?”

Lisa felt a pang of pain in her chest as a lump formed in her throat, and her eyes were starting to tear up. She sniffed as she lowered her head, her long hair falling over her shoulders and covering her beautiful face. Her voice was starting to get hoarse. “If that’s how it is… Father, your love is worthless. You’re not worthy of my mother…”

“Lisa!”

Her words made Marco’s face go pale as he was stunned!

Lisa took a deep breath, blinking her eyes before raising her head. “That’s all I’ve wanted to tell you. The next move is all up to you. I don’t think I’ll be eating with you today, so I’ll head back no. You don’t have to send me.”

She felt relieved after saying those words. However, she did not want to stay any longer, so she stood up slowly and was about to leave.

“Lisa, please sit down and finish this meal with me before heading back.”

Marco raised his head and looked at Lisa. There was a great deal of struggle and complication in his eyes. Although Lisa could not see through him, she could sense that he was feeling sad and lonely. In the end, she sat back down.

Marco refilled her glass with a smile even though he seemed sad and cold. His voice was quiet. “I know you’ve been longing for us to get back together, but between us…”

Lisa raised her head slightly and studied him. She waited, but Marco did not finish the sentence.

She looked at her wine glass. His face appeared inverted as she gazed through the glass. She could sense an unspoken terrible feeling.
