When Jeffrey was going to pour a third glass of wine, Moira reached out and took the wine away, "Jeffrey, Alfie's a grown man. He should take responsibility for what he's done on his own."

Alfie stood up and first bowed to Aiken. "Aiken, I'm sorry. My recklessness and poor thinking caused your family and Moira to suffer." Aiken had never liked Alfie before and still disliked him.
Hearing his apology, Aiken's face darkened. "You should be sorry, not to me, to Moira! I never wanted her to marry you. During the three years with you, she had suffered enough because of Ms. Blake.
"If Moira hadn't insisted on marrying you, I would never have agreed to this marriage! People were saying you were out of her league. Well, she's my only daughter. I've never intended for her to marry into a better family.
"Apologize to Moira. As long as she forgives you, I have nothing to say." Moira was so touched. She didn't expect Aiken to say these words in front of the Guzman family.
After tonight, if she didn't forgive Alfie, the forty years of friendship between Aiken and Jeffrey would cto an end.
