"Mathias King was deeply in love with your mother, Monica, giving her that precious family loom but was ashamed of her background because of his status, even when I assured him to go after his heart," the old man explained to Joanna.
The understanding settled that her mother lied to her. The ring did not belong to her grandmother like her mother said but rather to the Kings.
Clearly, the old man would not lie about something like that and being oblivious to whatever was going on in Joanna's mind, he continued to speak.
"The woman he married, being Alexander and Logan's mother, better suited his status, but he was never happy and unable to get over his obsession with Monica."
He smiled bitterly, regretting not getting deeply involved in Mathias's love life like he was doing with his grandchildren today.
