Chapter 22 Throughout the dinner, Aiken and Moira addressed the Guzman family distantly. Alfie’s heart gradually sank like a stone thrown in a lake. Joffrey and Lara had completely lost their appetites. Barbara, on the contrary, was having a lovely time eating. Half an hour later, Barbara was forced to stop eating by Lara, and the waiter came in to clean up the table and serve fruits and desserts. Jeffrey also prepared a bottle of wine, but Aiken refused to drink because they were here for some serious matters. Now that the meal was over, it was time for business. Jeffrey sighed. “Aiken, I know the damage had been done to you and Moira, I’m so sorry. I failed to raise my son as a decent man. you and Moira!” Jeffrey paused to pour himself some red wine and drank it all in one go. Aiken frowned, seeing him pouring another glass, and reached out to stop him. “Jeffrey, what are you doing?” Jeffrey pushed his hand away. “Aiken, this is on me. I’m a terrible father,” With that, he drank another cup. an. I want to apologize to Aiken didn’t try to stop him anymore. Alfie fleeing the wedding caused Moira to have a severe car accident. A couple glasses of wine wouldn’t do the apologizing. When Jeffrey was going to pour a third glass of wine, Moira reached out and took the wine away, “Jeffrey, Alfie’s a grown man. He should take responsibility for what he’s done on his own.” Lara echoed. “She’s right.” She glared at Alfie and said, “Go and apologize to Alkan and Moira!” The whole Guzman family had been shadowing Allie to apologize finally. Alfie stood up and first bowed to Aiken. “Aiken, I’m sorry. My recklessness and poor thinking caused your family and Moira to suffer.” Aiken had never liked Alfie before and still disliked him. Hearing his apology, Aiken’s face darkened. “You should be sorry, not to me, to Moira! I never wanted her to marry you. During the three years with you, she had suffered enough because of Ms.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Blake. “If Moira hadn’t insisted on marrying you, I would never have agreed to this marriage! People were saying you were out of her league. Well, she’s my only daughter. I’ve never intended for her to marry into a better family. “Apologize to Moira. As long as she forgives you, I have nothing to say.” Moira was so touched. She didn’t expect Aiken to say these words in front of the Guzman family. After tonight, if she didn’t forgive Alfie, the forty years of friendship between Aiken and Jeffrey would come to an end. Aiken’s words were like an invisible hand slapping in Alfie’s face. He pursed his lips and walked over to Moira. “I’m sorry, Moira, What can I do to be forgiven? Just name it!” He said, grabbing Moira’s hand and beating himself with it. Aiken, however, was dissatisfied with what he did, “Moira, don’t overthink and follow your heart. Dad will always support you!” Moira initially hesitated a few moments, but now, her heart became even more determined. She drew her hand back and tilted her head back to look straight at Alfie, “Weren’t you going to apologize to me on your knees?”
