Lexi’s simple words immediately shattered William’s heart.
Did he truly look that sad right now?
Achild as young as her who knew nothing could even see through him.
However, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache when he saw the photo of the happy family of three. How happy would he be if it were him instead of Samson in that photo? He should have been the one standing by Linda’s side. So why wasn the now?
But en second thought, wasn’t all of this his doing? They could still be a happy family if only he hadn’t been so foolish back then and blamed everything on Linda. They could have had the best of everything.
Nevertheless, he was the one who severed their path to happiness with his own hands.
“I’m not sad, Lexi. It merely brought back some feelings just by seeing the photos of you and your family,
“Aunt Lina had said the same thing when she visited. She said the pictures of me with Mommy and Daddy are beautiful.”
“She’s right. Those moments are indeed beautiful. But he wasn’t feeling quite good about it. “Lexi is happy when being with Mommy and Daddy, right?”
Lexi wrapped her little arms around William’s neck. “I’ve always been happy, but hope Uncle William can be happy, too.”
Everyone around William hoped that he would find a new source of happiness. However, he allowed himself to be trapped in the past and was unwilling to move on. “I’m happy night now I don’t hope for anything else.”
“But Mommy said we should always look forward instead of getting stuck in memories.”

Chloe drifted into daydreams of her future gateway while enjoying the soothing touch of the masseuse.

Most people normally would continue to capitalize on the momentum after finishing a project. However, Chloe was different.

“I’ve told you before that place no restrictions on your travels. Go wherever you want as long as it’s where you wish to be. I don’t mind at all”
Linda sana Chloe as an adult now Besides, Chloe had experience living abroad since she was young. There was no need to worry about her safety.
Furthermore, independent people could thrive anywhere.
“But it’s been long since we traveled together. I was hoping you could come along, and we could bring Lexi, too. Do you have any free time coming up? Chloe sald this because she wanted to travel with Linda It never felt all that meaningful to her to travel alone.
**You know I’m tied up with this urgent project I’ve been assigned. There’s no way I’m allowed to travel right now. I had been wanting to go on a trip too recently. But considering my workload, 1 won’t be free until after Lexi’s birthday.”
Linda always assumed there would be plenty of time to indulge in leisurely plans. However, she realized that all her plans and ideas were nothing more than a fleeting dream every Lime she wrapped up a project.
“Wow, you’re really in high demand now! Work just keeps piling up on your side. Unlike me, who spends every day thinking about where it’d be more fun to relax. I really want to travel, but I don’t want to do this alone,”
