the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart

Chapter 1221: After Emotional Desolation, No Matter How Good Someone Is, You Can No Longer Love

Richard Shaw sat in the driver’s seat, his brows lowered, and his tea-colored eyes revealed a hint of gloom.

Casimir Shaw saw that his father looked like an abandoned big puppy, his dark eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked Leah: "Mommy, is Uncle Huo from yesterday your new boyfriend? Mommy, are you really not going to be with old Shaw anymore?"

Leah was taken aback by the question and didn’t speak.

Inside the car, Richard Shaw was also unusually silent, his gaze passing through the car window, looking at the deep dark night outside, his hands tightly clenched into fists.

"Thomas, it’s time to sleep." Leah checked the time and said with a smile.

Casimir Shaw reluctantly hung up the phone; in the car, both father and son were silent.

Casimir Shaw reached out and tugged at old Shaw’s clothes, saying weakly, "Old Shaw, didn’t we find Mommy? Why doesn’t Mommy want us now?"

Richard Shaw looked at his son’s carefully hidden anxiety and fear, feeling a pang in his heart, he said hoarsely, "Mommy wants you, she just doesn’t want old Shaw anymore."

Casimir Shaw instantly felt sorry for old Shaw, disappointedly saying, "Is pretending to be pitiful not working this time either?"

The man chuckled lowly, reached out, and patted the young boy’s head. Although she didn’t want him anymore, she left him with the most precious thing. Not everything in the world can be perfect, he’ll just wait the rest of his life slowly.

Brocade City

Leah had just arrived in Brocade City. Tonight was chaotic and full of danger, having brought Delphine from the South Seas, the group went straight to Brocade City.

Once they settled down, it was already very late.

Neither of them could sleep, so they sat in the courtyard talking.

"Suddenly, I thought of the year we first met, when I barely survived, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you sitting in the small cabin, staring stupidly at the sunset outside." Leah leaned back in the recliner, facing Delphine with a smile.

Delphine also smiled slightly, reminiscing as she said lightly, "Yes, fate is always so unpredictable, it feels like we’ve returned to the starting point. Back then, we were abandoned, and now we abandon others, ultimately unable to achieve completeness."

The two of them exchanged a smile, reaching out to hold each other’s hands.

"Actually, it’s good to have gone through heart-wrenching love when you’re young; when you’re old, you can reminisce." Leah squinted, feeling a bit of wetness in the corners of her eyes, she whispered. Her beloved Richard Shaw would be buried deep in her heart, taken out to savor when feeling lonely and sad.

A man she had loved for so many years, yet he was her enemy.

She let out a low, self-mocking laugh.

"Leah, you’ll meet someone better." Delphine stroked her face, her voice hoarse.

"After emotional desolation, even meeting the best person, you won’t fall in love again." Leah smiled faintly and said, "It’s not like you haven’t met anyone better than Ignatius Leclair over the years, why do you keep entangled with him? It’s nothing more than the first person you loved in your youth."

Delphine was silent for a moment; indeed, after growing tired and being hurt by love, one subconsciously lets go. Thinking that spending the rest of her life quietly with her child is also good.

"Let’s talk about something happy, what are your plans afterward?" Leah asked.

"I’ll stay with Nicholas temporarily in Brocade City, then after the lawsuit for divorce with Ignatius Leclair, I might go back to the South Seas or return to the Imperial City, continue filming and raising my son, pretty much like that. I won’t intentionally avoid the Leclair Family; we’re all adults, we should handle it rationally." Delphine thought of Benjamin Leclair, after all, she couldn’t bear to stay too far away.

"Then stay in the South Seas, I’m there too." Leah smiled, as her situation didn’t allow her to go to the Imperial City.

"Okay." Delphine smiled slightly, agreeing with a nod.
