105 Revelations and Regrets
As Nathan’s words echoed, Alex’s expression shifted from confusion to contemplation. “Are you
suggesting Emma married me out of genuine affection? That’s hard to believe given everything we’ve
been through.”
Nathan, slightly flustered, replied, “Honestly, if it’s Emma we’re talking about, it changes
everything. Consider this does our combined wealth even come close to the Smirnoffs‘? Perhaps she
married you because she genuinely liked you,”
Alex chuckled sarcastically, “Nowy
changing your tune because of her status. You’d be singing a
different time if her identity was still a secret,”
Nathan, realizing his hypocrisy, said, “I might have been wrong before
But now, it’s clear that Emma’s marriage to you wasn’t a mere calculation. She is the Smirnoffs‘
daughter; she didn’t need to stoop to deception.”
“Does her family’s status make my past actions any less hurtful?” Lillian interjected. She couldn’t
stomach the idea that Emma, whom she once treated as lesser, held a far higher status than her.
Nathan grew frustrated, “Lillian, you always criticized her. Without your constant badgering, I would
have seen things differently.”
Lillian snapped back, “You’re just trying to save face now that you know who she really is. Your sudden
change of heart is laughable!”
The heated exchange between these two drew the crowd’s attention. Lillian, feeling cornered, stormed
off, leaving a trail of murmurs in her wake.
Nathan, reflecting on his actions, felt foolish. “So, Alex, are you considering reconciling with Emma?
I mean, it seems unlikely, but what if she still has feelings for you?”
Alex quickly dismissed the idea, “That chapter is closed. All I have for her now is remorse.
Since their divorce, Alex had come to realize the harm his indifference had caused. He wanted to make
amends, but now Emma needed nothing from him.
Nathan, sensing Alex’s regret, suggested, “Maybe we should leave. It’s getting uncomfortable with all
these stares.”
“Uncomfortable? Have you thought about what Emma endured because of us?” Alex’s newfound
empathy for Emma made him reflect on the unfair treatment she had faced, enduring it all silently Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
without ever using her status to her advantage.
Nathan was speechless. Alex’s change of heart was unexpected. The revelation of Emma’s true
identity had profoundly affected him.
The room was still buzzing with shock over Emma’s revelation. People whispered, glancing at Alex and
Nathan, their attitudes now a mixture of sympathy and awkwardness. The truth about Emma had not
only surprised them but also made them question their past judgments.
As the crowd dispersed, Alex and Nathan left quietly, each lost in their own thoughts about the past
and the missed opportunities that came with misunderstanding Kimma’s true worth.
