"You are okay?"
Queen Marianne touched her son's cheek and asked softly.
Nicholas who had been lost in thought was stunned. He stared at his mother's face for a moment then nodded slowly.
"Hm," he replied, smiling bitterly.
"You do your best to cover up your feelings, but don't cover them up in front of your mother." Queen Marianne wiped the tears under Nicholas' eyes with her index finger and then showed it to Nicholas.
"Yes." Nicholas took a deep breath. His chest was really tight. "It hurts but I have no other choice but to accept it, right?"
He shook his head and heaved a long sigh. Queen Marianne was very sad to see her son in that state. She felt that God was so unfair.
In the past, she was not destined to get the love and affection of her husband, the man she loved, and now God made her son also unable to get love from the woman he loved.
Thinking of this made her feel very emotional and she started crying.
