Chapter: 309

But Fritz did not understand her.

‘Why did you get a divorce without our father’s permission?’

It was Fritz’s first words to Astelle, who returned with a tired face.

When she left the house feeling exhausted and about to collapse, Fritz grabbed her and got angry at her.

‘Don’t be stubborn and ask father for forgiveness.’

Her feelings at that time were so devastating that words could not describe them.

She felt as if the last rope she had managed to hold on to, had broken.

After that, Astelle abandoned all her hopes and left the capital.

“You don’t have to apologize to me. Go back.”

“Astelle……”

Fritz’s expression as he faced Astelle’s cold eyes was filled with sadness.

“Can’t we start over? Can’t you just give me one more chance……?”

“We haven’t spoken to each other in six years, so what opportunity do we need now?”

Astelle turned down Fritz’s request.

It was a calm voice that did not contain any emotion, but when Fritz heard those words, his expression became even more sorrowful.

He called out to her in a sad voice.

“Astelle…… I am……”

At that moment, the door opened with a crackling sound.

Both siblings looked toward it at the same time.

Theor was grabbing the half-open door and sticking out his face.

“Aunt Astelle……?”

Astelle looked at the child and was startled.

Her chest plummeted.

‘Will my brother find out Theor’s identity?’

Fritz has played with Kaizen since childhood.
