"No! It was my mother's fault to give me birth despite knowing my origins and then forcing me to be a perfect Sopheriene. Your grace has only saved me from her craziness."
"......." her hold on him tightened! To think that he had such twisted thinking, what had he faced as a child.
"I am sorry, Rowan. I thought I am being a good mother and taking good care of you. But I have neglected you most of the time." he shook his head and forced himself away from her arms.
"No! You are the first person who cared for me unconditionally. You did not ask for anything in return and you never expected me to do something. I never wanted a mother after my mother died. But after i met you, i realized, a relationship could be this beautiful and make you full. For the first time, I started to look forward to my future because of you." she closed her eyes and shook her head, feeling a pang of guilt in her chest.
She had done nothing yet.. Just how depraved of love she was!
