Hidden Desires - Family Secrets-Chapter 255 Did I want to uncover the truth? Part2

"You don’t need to say anything; I’m doing this so you won’t feel burdened."

"I knew this day would come, just didn’t expect it so soon..."

Luna set down the newspaper and spoke to me gently, her voice tinged with sadness.

Though she tried to hide it, I saw a side of Luna filled with sorrow for the first time.

She wasn’t showing it off; she was smiling as she spoke, but the smile was strained.

"Ever since you regained your memory, I’ve seen how you struggle every day."

"You haven’t mentioned anything, but I know it’s tearing you up inside."

"Justin, do you know? I loved you most when you were a child, and when you had lost your memory."

"Back then, there were no other women to tie you down, all your attention was on me, and it made me feel like you truly belonged to me alone."

"But once your memory returned, that feeling disappeared..."

As Luna said this, she turned her head away, but from her tone, I knew she was crying.

At that moment, all I felt was regret and guilt.

No matter how much I tried to hide it, how could I fool the astute Luna?

Perhaps standing before the Elizabeth Tower, she had already understood.

"Luna... I..."

I reached out and took her hand that rested on the dining table, at a loss for words, my usual eloquence gone.

Especially when Luna called me Justin instead of ’husband,’ a sudden pain struck my heart.

"It’s okay, don’t worry, I’m strong."

"This setback is nothing; I’ve waited over twenty years."

"Waiting a bit longer doesn’t matter, and besides, you gave me Kevin."

"He’s our bond, having Kevin actually fills me with contentment..."

Luna wiped her eyes and turned to smile at me, tears still in her eyes, filling me with heartache.

I stood up and walked over to Luna, wrapping my arms around her head, stroking her hair.

Luna buried her face in my chest, the first time I had ever embraced her like this.

Luna’s arms wrapped around my waist.

"I’ve arranged a flight for you."

"Pack a little, and you can catch the plane this afternoon..."

After hugging for a while, Luna stepped back and looked down as she spoke.

"No, no... Luna, you’ve misunderstood."

"I never thought about leaving you and Kevin."

"Really, no matter what the truth or outcome, I will take responsibility for you and Kevin."

"Believe me..."

Hearing that Luna had arranged a flight for me, I hurriedly explained.

I was already deeply hurt; I didn’t want to hurt Luna, a woman who had given so much for me.

Although I’ve been seeking answers these past few days, wanting to know about Betty and Michael’s situation, I never considered leaving Luna.

"Husband, can I still call you that?"

After hearing my words, Luna’s shoulders trembled, and she looked up at me, asking.

I didn’t say anything; I just nodded firmly.

"Husband, don’t feel burdened, I’m okay."

"I did this hoping you wouldn’t continue to be so depressed and down."

"Especially these past few days, I’ve felt you’re just not happy."

"I planned to make it up to you, to stay by your side, to help you gradually forget, but observing these days, I realized if this issue isn’t resolved, you’ll be down forever."

"I don’t want that version of you with me."

"If you want to find out some things, then go ahead, I support you."

"As long as you’re happy, as long as you can let go of your worries and burdens, I support whatever you do."

"Even if you go back to your country and don’t return to me, I won’t force you, I won’t disturb you."

"I’ll raise Kevin alone, and when he’s grown, I’ll hand him over to you."

"If it comes to that, I just hope you’ll come to see us occasionally; that would be enough for me, not just for me but for Kevin too."

"I don’t want Kevin to grow up without a father..."

After Luna said all this, I didn’t respond, I didn’t promise anything; we just embraced again, letting Luna cry in my arms.

Luna’s words shattered my heart, but she was right.

Betty was a knot in my heart that I had to untie, or I’d never find peace.

Luna wouldn’t want to see me like this, burdened and unsettled.

Taking such a step was a bold move for Luna, and she knew it.

Yet, she did it for my sake, a gesture that I etched deep into my heart.

I couldn’t let Luna down; I silently vowed to myself.

After we embraced for a while, Luna, with her eyes swollen from tears, instructed the servants to pack my bags.

It might have been the first time the household staff saw Luna cry.

The highly professional servants and the butler were stunned for a moment before they went to prepare my luggage.

Meanwhile, I sat on the couch, holding little Gus, watching cartoons with him, savoring this moment of familial warmth.

I didn’t know what awaited me back home, but I couldn’t abandon Luna and Kevin, no matter what.

Luna’s private jet was scheduled to take off at three in the afternoon.

She had arranged a substantial entourage for me, including her most trusted security personnel.

These were the people who had followed and protected me years ago, who had watched over me and ultimately saved me.

I didn’t need to hide anything from them once I was back home.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

Kevin’s childish voice rang out as the entourage gathered at the door with bags in hand.

I walked towards the door where Luna, holding Kevin, stood to see me off.

"Daddy’s going on a business trip, I’ll be back after a while... be good at home..."

I told Kevin, feeling a surge of warmth in my heart.

"Say goodbye to Daddy," Luna told Kevin.

"Bye Daddy," Kevin said, waving his little hand, unaware of the tear slipping down his mother’s cheek behind him.

With tears in my eyes, I stepped out of the house, surrounded by security personnel.

I dared not look back at Luna and Kevin, afraid that if I did, I wouldn’t have the resolve to leave.

It wasn’t until I was seated in the car, eyes closed, feeling the car drive away, that I finally opened my eyes.

Luna was right; I had to resolve this issue.

Even if I wanted to live with Luna, I needed to present her with a complete version of myself, not someone constantly distracted and burdened.

It wouldn’t be fair to her.

The plane soared through the sky, now tinged with the hues of late afternoon.

Below, the clouds, touched by the setting sun, turned a golden hue.

I stared out the window, contemplating my plans upon returning home, with the item Luna had given me tucked in my pocket.

After three years, I, Justin, was finally coming home...
