Chapter 680

William had never loved anyone so purely and wholeheartedly. He wanted his love for Emilia to remain forever true and
untainted.
He didn’t want his love for her to be clouded by even the faintest shadow of guilt or coercion. What he wanted was her love in return, not just to possess her.
When Emilia looked up and met William’s sincere and tender gaze her heart skipped a beat.
He truly was an incredibly charming man, especially when someone as powerful and untouchable as him would bow his head and give his everything only for her.
A man like William was nearly impossible to resist. Seeing this side of him made Emilia feel that she really should move forward again. He also made her feel she should try once more to love someone wholeheartedly.
With that thought, and the desire to build something with Williard, Emilia’s feelings for him began to change.
Even though William sensed the shift in her, he didn’t seize the opportunity to push for more or lock her down. Instead, he steadied himself and took things slow with her, not wanting to pressure her in the slightest.
Irvin eventually learned that the child Grace was carrying wasn’t his. The woman he had been with that night hadn’t been her at all. It had been Emilia.
This filled him with joy, and he rushed to see Emilia. But by then, her heart was already intent on William. Irvin couldn’t win her back anymore.
Emilia now offered William the same smiles she once gave Irvin. She looked at William with eyes shining with adoration. All the love she had once had for him, she now gave entirely to William. She also used to only have eyes for him, but now she only had eyes for William.
Irvin stood there frozen as he took all this in. He felt as though he were being torn apart by a pack of wild animals. The pain he felt was so excruciating that it felt as though it were eating him alive.
If he had been his old self, he would’ve gone insane from the unbearable pain. This would be even more so after learning that he was still untainted and had the right to give Emilia happiness.
It wouldn’t have mattered if she had started a new in her life or fallen in love with someone else. Irvin’s old self would’ve stopped at nothing and used any means necessary to win her back.
But now, Emilia was so happy and fully healed from the emotional wounds he had inflicted on her. She was able to smile so radiantly again and so freely. Upon seeing this, Irvin’s current self couldn’t take action. He couldn’t bring himself to destroy that kind of happiness.
He had once loved so selfishly. Now, he finally understood what real love was. However, it was too late.
On the day of Emilia and William’s wedding, Irvin had a dream. In the dream, William didn’t help her overcome everything alone. He did so together with Irvin.
Irvin hadn’t been completely useless and had given everything for her. Plus, he hadn’t just had one child with Emilia, but a pair of especially adorable fraternal twins. He had loved the children dearly, and they adored him too. In the end, the four of them lived happily together as a family.
The dream was so blissful. Just as Irvin was overwhelmed by the sheer happiness of it, he woke up. He didn’t have any children, nor did he get back with Emilia.
He was alone in his cold and empty house.
