Norris Moore was stunned for a moment, and for a long time, he did not speak.
This must have been the result of Aldana Candi's compromise with Philip Shaw.
She returned to his side to continue being Ellen Candi's substitute, in exchange for Gugu's innocent childhood.
But who knows, once Gugu grows up and finds out her mother, for her sake, had been a humble forbidden delicacy by the man she should call father, what her feelings would be.
Norris Moore just felt heart-wrenching.
Aldana's life had been too bitter, so many years have passed and heaven still refuses to let her be.
Her dearly loved daughter had ultimately become the lever to control her; once Philip Shaw found out about Gugu, she had no option but to compromise.
"Norris," Aldana reached out and gently embraced him, "don't be sad, this was all my choice, you have already done so much for me. Having a friend like you is my greatest fortune in this life."
