Poor Evan felt his ears burn upon hearing his mother’s nags.

Seeing how impatient he looked, Russell came up with some random order and sent Jonathan and Sophia out of the living room. Now the place was left with Evan and his grandfather alone.

“Evan, do you know how old you are now? How can you not think about marriage at your age?”

However, Evan merely returned a bitter smile and did not answer him.

“Let me ask you; you still can’t forget that girl you met back at Rose Garden?”

Evan’s face changed, and his gaze darted elsewhere to avoid looking at his grandfather. Yet the sadness beneath his eyes was clear to Russell, despite his efforts to hide it.

“Evan, I know you’ve suffered a lot when you were in Rose Garden, and she is the one who has helped you through those harsh days. In turn, you have also helped her back, and you two were the closest companions throughout your darkest days. I know you have tried to look for her after that, and you should know that the poor girl has passed away years ago. You should have gotten over her passing after all these years.”

“Grandpa, there’s no way I will ever forget her. There’s no woman who has treated me so kindly like how she did! She is the light of my darkest days and the only source of eternal warmth for me! No other women could replace the warmth she had given me throughout those days.”

“I know how you feel, Evan. But you have to think of Kyle; he needs a mother.”

He needs a mother.

The image of Nicole taking care of Kyle and Juan appeared in his mind. I guess that is how a mother is supposed to look like.
