NovelEnglishChapter 0963 TUAE, days earlier] Theodore and Fiona were having breakfast in the penthouse while Adam was out running errands. The young man knew that even though his parents had reunited and his father had decided to marry his mother, they still needed tand space to understand each other.
Adam was well aware that his father was a serious and rigid man, while his mother was sweet and timid. She had done her best to raise him with love and respect, but he also knew she had never been able to forget his father. She never tried to rebuild her life, partly because it was difficult in their culture as a woman with children and a complicated past.
"Fiona, what are you thinking about?" Theodore asked, noticing she was lost in thought.
She turned to look at him, then quickly lowered her gaze.
"Nothing, my lord... It's just that..." she said shyly.
Theodore didn't know how to react. He had been with women here before, but Fiona was different. She treated him as if he were her master, as if by marrying her, he had automatically becher owner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Fiona, hey, look at me. We need to talk," he said seriously.
Slowly, she lifted her gaze but still couldn't meet his eyes fully.
"First of all, why do you treatlike I own you? I'm not your owner. And I don't like you calling'my lord.' CallTheodore, just like you used to when you were young.
"Second, you are free to be the lady of this house. I know things here are different, but I don't like feeling as if I bought a wife. I married you because it was the right thing to do, but also because I want to give you what you deserve what you've always deserved," he said, kneeling in front of her.
"My lord... It's just that I-I don't know how to do that. I never remarried after you saved me. I never had anyone else but you. I lived only for my son, nothing more," Fiona confessed timidly.
Theodore could only imagine how hard it must have been for her, finding out she was pregnant long after he had left. He wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of having a wife twenty-something years younger than him, but had he known he had a son, he never would have let them struggle alone. The thought never even crossed his mind.
"You know what we're going to do?” he said, gently stroking her cheek.
"What, my lord?" "Stop callingthat. Just callTheodore-that's all I ask," he said softly.
For a man like him, showing interest in someone was difficult, but with Fiona, it felt natural. Why? He had no idea.
"I want us to live somewhere else, somewhere you feel free I want you to see the world. Tellsomething, Fiona ... Have you ever wanted to travel?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
"What?" she asked, surprised.
"Did you ever dream of leaving this place? Of living somewhere else?" N "Well... Adam and I... We always talked about visiting your country when he grew up. But I knew it would never happen. Leaving here costs a lot of money, and that was something we never had." 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0963 Theodore felt a lump in his throat. Guilt hit him hard. While he had spent his fortune on paintings and castles, Fiona and Adam had lived in a small house, with only the bare necessities. And yet, she had still managed to provide her son with an education.
Looking at the woman in front of him, those beautiful eyes filled with strength, made him feel so small. He might have all the money in the world, he might be the best hitman in the world, but the courage Fiona had shown-he wasn't sure even he could have had that. Not when she had been sold at 14 and left pregnant by a stranger at 20.
Theodore stood up, pulled Fiona from her seat, and hugged her tightly.

"I know Adam has worked hard studying here, but now he'llenrothin It now he'll enroll in school in Valentía. He's a smart kid, hell adapt. And besides, he needs to improve his second language.” "You would really do that for us, my lord?" Fiona asked, shocked.

"That sounds much better. And now that you'll be living in Valentia, I want you to wear something more casual. Not that I don't like how you look, but I think a change would suit you." "As you wish," she replied with quiet pride.
"Oh, Fiona! What am I going to do with you? What am I going to do?" Theodore sighed, trying to be as patient as possible with the woman in front of him.
"Have I done something wrong?" she asked, concerned.
Theodore looked at her, smiled, and said, “No, nothing at all. It was just a figure of speech.” "Oh..." Today's Bonus Offer
