Free Web NovelChapter 634: Chapter 634: He Thought He Would Feel Relieved
"Why..."
She gazed at herself in the mirror, unwilling to accept it, and asked.
Why... had she fallen to such a state.
From once being the celebrated woman who was about to become the first lady of The Drexler Family, she had suddenly become a laughingstock in everyone’s eyes.
When the guards brought her back, she heard all the guests gossiping, mocking her delusions...
But was she delusional? All of this was supposed to be hers.
But why... with the appearance of a Summer Shawcross, everything was taken from her!
She didn’t understand what that woman had done to them, why even the most stubborn and inflexible Mr. Drexler now wanted to help her.
Just as Autumn Duval was staring at herself in the mirror, her expression becoming more and more twisted, the room’s door suddenly opened.
Immediately, footsteps and the sound of a cane echoed together, slowly approaching.
Autumn Duval slowly turned her head, looking at the old man slowly walking this way, took a deep breath, and then concealed her twisted expression, showing a frail one that could evoke a man’s pity...
"Uncle... Noah he..."
"He will not come back to marry you." Mr. Drexler stopped in his tracks, his voice full of certainty.
As he finished speaking, Autumn Duval’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked Mr. Drexler nervously.
"Why, Uncle, do you really want to abandon me?"
As long as Mr. Drexler was willing to help her, she had hope of once again becoming the first lady of The Drexler Family.
After all, Summer Shawcross’s fate was still in Mr. Drexler’s hands, and Noah Drexler would not let that woman go!
However, Mr. Drexler did not immediately answer her, but instead, he looked at her face that resembled Amber’s and was silent... silent for a long time.
"It was my mistake." He slowly closed his eyes, his wrinkled face full of regret.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had indeed made many mistakes in his life.
"Uncle... what do you mean?" Autumn Duval was startled and asked incredulously.
"I shouldn’t have brought you back to The Drexler Family." Mr. Drexler opened his eyes, his gaze still fixed on Autumn Duval’s face that resembled his wife’s.
He shouldn’t have brought her back, shouldn’t have renamed her Autumn, shouldn’t have made her a substitute for Amber, vainly hoping that a girl who looked like Amber would marry his bloodline’s only son, to fulfill his own unhealthy obsession, the regret...
He always thought that after the wedding was held, he would find great satisfaction, would be very happy.
But...
Ever since he came back from Autumn Duval last night,
he suddenly harbored strong doubts about his life.
Doubting whether everything he had done these years, including now, was right.
The things he had always been obsessed with seemed not to bring him the pleasure, nor the imagined happiness and joy.
This feeling reminded him of that time when he was the first to speak and drove the mother and son out of The Drexler Family, it was the same feeling.
He thought he would feel relieved, would be happy.
But he wasn’t...
In the days without her, he was in pain, unprecedented pain, continuously tormenting him!
No one knew, during the time the mother and son were wandering outside, he couldn’t help but occasionally go to see them, but he could only watch from a distance.
