With Mia’s bombshell announcement, the love story of Mary was unexpectedly revealed to me. She explained everything to me step by step. I listened quietly. While hearing her story, I first reflected deeply on myself. I felt I had been too indifferent. Until now, I thought Rakis was a married man with a wife and children. But that turned out not to be the case! He wasn’t even divorced; he was a lifelong single! Having spent so many years in the military, he simply hadn’t had the time to find a meaningful connection.
As for Mary, she spoke of how she became pregnant with Mia and lost her husband to illness. When Rakis first expressed his feelings for her, she pushed him away many times. Not only did she have lingering memories of her late husband, but she also worried about being a burden on Rakis’s future. However, due to Rakis’s steadfast and unwavering affection, Mary eventually opened her heart... and now, this was the result of that.
After work, they managed to find time to enjoy dates together, sometimes alone, sometimes with Mia.
“I’m sorry, my lord. I shouldn’t be bothering you with such personal matters...”
