Aiden was silent after what he told me. He gave me... time, once again.
And I've never been more grateful to him.
I have no idea how he knows all this.
I don't know how he found this place.
I don't understand...
But I trust him.
I don't think he's lying.
I know that everything... to the last detail is true.
That's why I can't stop being confused, I can't shake the dozens of thoughts that pop into my head.
Why... why did Rian Laute want to kill his son just because he loved someone he didn't want?
Why... did he kill his daughter-in-law, not allowing my father to live a peaceful life even after all he had put him through?
Why...
...
Minutes passed, over Aiden's silence.
...
In fact... a whole hour.
...
And I... simply continued to think, to digest everything.
Finally, I slowly lifted my head and looked into his gray eyes, which were still just where they were.
