Yvonne looked at Philip's portrait. It was as if she was facing Philip, her heart filled with pain.

"Is it because of my father?" Zachary pointed to his father's portrait and said, "Because you promised him to break up with me, so even after you gave birth to Maria, you still refused to tell me. Is this all because you felt sorry towards my father?"

Yvonne nodded.

"What about me?" Zachary pointed to himself.

Yvonne's eyes widened, feeling great pain in her heart.

How could she not feel pain in her heart when being questioned like this? She pitied Zachary's suffering.

She was also saddened by the hard life she had to go through these past few years.

Yvonne took a deep breath, "Sorry, Zachary."

"For the sake of others, do you not even have the courage to defend your love?" Zachary looked at her and said word by word.

Yvonne pursed her lips tightly. Her voice was a bit choked up. She looked at him with teary eyes and said, "Zachary, I didn't do this for others. I just really didn't know what to do at that time. I just wanted what was best for you."

"I wasn't f*cking good at all." After saying that, Zachary stood up.

He was afraid that he couldn't control himself.

He knew that Yvonne wasn't in the wrong.

He wanted to blame his father, but his father had passed away. This had become his lifelong regret.

He wanted to blame Yvonne, but he knew that this would be unfair for Yvonne.

The moment he saw his father's portrait, he felt his blood boil.

He was distraught.

He turned around and left.

Yvonne stared blankly at his back as he left. Her heart shattered.

After Zachary left.

Yvonne's tears poured out uncontrollably.

She cried for a long time.

Silent tears streamed down her face.

When she finally calmed down a little, Yvonne whispered, "Mr. Lowe, no, father, I should call you father now. Let me introduce myself. I am Yvonne, Zachary's wife."

Phillip looked peaceful with his refined elegance and was full of confidence in the portrait.

Yvonne continued, "Many years ago, you told me if I wanted what was best for Zachary, I should let him study abroad. You didn't want me to be a hindrance to his future. I also felt the same."

"I left him, but there wasn't a day that I lived well. I always thought that my departure was good for him. But when I saw him in so much pain, I doubted my decision."

"I don't know if it was right for me to leave."

"Now, I'm back. I had to come back. My daughter, your granddaughter, needs her father, and I need Zachary even more."

"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't keep my promise to stay away from him."

"In the future, I won't be able to do that either."

"I want to stay with him for the rest of my life, and I will never leave Zachary again."

"Please forgive me and don't worry. I will try harder to be with Zachary and help him in any way I can. I will be happy with him for the rest of our lives."

Yvonne took a deep breath. Her teary eyes were filled with determination as she paid her respects.

Only then did she stand up, take a deep look at Philip's portrait, and leave.

Her legs were a little numb.

She staggered and walked out of the hall.

The mansion of the Lowe family was horrifyingly massive.

Yvonne got lost after she left the main hall.

She could not replace the guesthouse that she had previously stayed in. She was embarrassed.

At this moment, the butler came over and asked, "Madam, do you need any help?"

"I can't replace Zachary," Yvonne spoke in a rather embarrassed manner.

"Young Master Zachary went to his residence. Please follow me," the butler said.

Yvonne was taken aback. "He's not in the guesthouse we stayed in previously?"

"Yes, he's in that one," the butler said.

"Oh," Yvonne nodded. "How is he doing?"

"Young Master Zachary looked very angry. After he came out, he entered the room straight away," The butler said, "He seems to be in a sour mood."

Yvonne immediately became worried, her face full of guilt. "He... Did he say anything?"

"He didn't say a word," The butler said, "Madam, I can see that Young Master Zachary loves you. Please try to talk to him. He is a very disciplined person. He has been unhappy all these years. Young Master Zachary looked very happy when the two of you came back this afternoon."

"I know," Yvonne said softly, "I'll make him happy from now on. Could you please prepare some food for me?"

"All right."

The butler brought Yvonne to the entrance of Zachary's courtyard and said to her, "Young Master Zachary is inside. I'll go get some food for you two."

"Okay, thank you." Yvonne thanked him. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Please bring us some red wine."

"Okay," The butler nodded with a smile and went to fetch it.

Yvonne took a deep breath, standing at the doorway with a hint of hesitation.

Soon, the butler came back with a tray of cakes in his hand, as well as some red wine and two wine glasses.

Yvonne took it, and the butler left.

She stood at the door and hesitated for a long time.

They had been separated for more than an hour.

Yvonne placed the food on the long corridor at the doorway. She poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Wine makes a coward brave.

She knew she had to apologize properly this time.

There were times where she needed to be braver. She hoped that he would be satisfied. Only when he was happy could he forget the troubles and forgive her.

She had a "bad idea" in her mind.

She wanted to express her love to Zachary to make him forget about everything.

Yes, that was what she wanted.

After drinking the wine, Yvonne waited for the wine to sink in before creating the atmosphere she wanted.

Fifteen minutes later, Yvonne felt a bit tipsy, and only then did she get up. She ate a piece of cake before knocking on the door with a red face.

There was no movement inside.

At this moment, Zachary fell into deep regret.

He felt that he had acted impulsively just now. He shouldn't have gotten angry with Yvonne at all. What he wanted to give her was his love and care.

However, he couldn't hold back his anger.

As soon as he saw the image of his father, he began to think of all the bitterness, suffering, and loneliness they had experienced in the past, and he wasn't able to suppress his rage.

He blamed himself deeply, feeling as if he lacked self-control.

Why would he lose all his self-control the moment he met Yvonne?

He was exasperated.

Now, the truth was finally out. But she still had not told him the reason for her second departure.

He didn't know if Yvonne would tell him or not.

Right now, he wanted Yvonne to tell him everything, but at the same time, he also didn't want her to say anything at all.

He blamed himself.

Her eyes were red as she knelt down in front of his father's portrait. She really considered herself the daughter-in-law of the Lowe family.

At that moment, his heart ached.

His heart was full of sadness; his self-blame was greater than joy.

Because he now knew of Yvonne's suffering.

He hated that he was unqualified as a man. How could he let his woman live so despicably?

She was such a kind person, and yet, he still bullied her.

Zachary was dispirited. He struggled in the room for a long time and didn't see Yvonne coming.

He couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to go back, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard someone knocking.

Zachary was shocked and opened the door immediately.

He saw Yvonne standing at the door with teary eyes and a red face.

Her eyes were full of surprise. When she saw him come out, her face turned redder. Then, he saw Yvonne holding a plate in her hand.
