Chapter 942 - Built Her Own Family (2/2)

”Dad, you ignore what she said,” Darren chimed in. ”If we need help, I'll tell you.”

After the dinner, while Xiu and Darren were busy with their son, Zhou Xichen whispered to Francesca, ”You didn't tell him about Florence, did you?”

”He knows,” answered Francesca.

Zhou Xichen was silent for a minute before he asked, ”How did he react?”

”Normally,” told Francesca. ”He reacted like it had nothing to do with him at all.”

Zhou Xichen bit his lips, ”Still... She is his mother.”

”She isn't,” came Darren's voice from behind them which startled them both. As they both looked at Darren, he added, ”You both should really move on from it now.”

”It's not that I don't want to move on,” said Francesca. ”But son, I really think she owes you an apology for what she did. She owes an apology to even Zhou Xichen.”

”No, she doesn't,” Zhou Xichen interrupted her. ”Yes, she owes an apology to my son. But she doesn't owe me anything. I couldn't protect her well enough, and that wasn't her fault. Nothing was her fault back then. That is why I believe she doesn't owe me anything.”

Xiu suddenly chuckled when she heard that from him. ”Father-in-law, you really mean it?”

”Yes,” Zhou Xichen answered.

Xiu opened a drawer and pulled out an envelope before passing it to him. ”You should see this.”

”What is it?” questioned Francesca instead of Zhou Xichen.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xichen opened the envelope and looked through the details inside. His body froze while Xiu explained it for him, ”Florence Salvay has a son, just one year younger than Regan. She has two other kids as well. Do you still want to tell me she doesn't owe you anything? After all, you both never really got divorced.”

Darren looked at Xiu in question who went on, ”I didn't want to do it at first. But seeing how Mama was so down after just meeting her sister, we needed something like this. I thought all of you needed a closure of this. Especially you both.” She pointed at Francesca and Zhou Xichen as she spoke. ”She doesn't matter to Regan but she seems to still affect you both a lot.”

Darren shook his head at his wife. He pulled her away from both of them since he knew they needed some time to adjust. Dragging Xiu away, he asked, ”Why do something unnecessary?”

”Actually, I didn't do it,” answered Xiu. ”Cali sent me this information today. She seems to have some hard feelings towards Florence.”

Darren wasn't surprised to hear that, ”She and I have been friends for so long. Of course, she'd have some hard feelings. But I didn't think she'll look into this stuff.”

Xiu held his hand and asked, ”Regan, does it affect you that Florence built her own family?”

”No,” answered Darren. ”I only care about our family.” Saying that he pinched his son's small nose who ended up sneezed cutely because of it making his parents laugh at his cute gesture.
