Chapter 634
Chapter 634 The First Experience of Sincerity
Charlie seemed to be considering his words, but in the end, he punctuated the sentence with a smile
I looked at his awkward smile and the way Meteor held onto the hem of his clothes by his side, which further confirmed my previous guess-my attitude towards them was probably very poor in the past
Otherwise, how could they feel that my personality had changed so drastically or even feel uneasy or moved, just because of a simple breakfast?
"Charlie, it is because I am the mistress of this
house that I have to do these things." I took a step forward, pulled Charlie and Meteor to sit at the dining table, and then looked into his eyes seriously. "Perhaps as a wife, I was negligent in the past. As a mother, I was also irresponsible
But since we now have this opportunity in front of us, why don't we let everything return to normal?"
Meteor was still young and couldn't understand the concept of "getting back on track," but Charlie was clearly moved by my words
He licked his lips, picked up the knife and fork in front of him, and then put them down again
When the breakfast was over, he didn't give a direct answer to everything I just said
But I knew that he had already fully received my feelings
As for Meteor, when he got up after having breakfast and was about to grab his backpack, I stood up first and handed the neatly organized backpack to the driver who came to pick them
up
Meteor looked up at me, and this time, neither of us avoided each other's gaze
This was a good sign for me, so I smiled and squatted down, patting his hair. "Meteor, my child, can you promise me one thing?"
The child across did not dodge, seemingly accepting my request
So I continued to speak the words that had already circled in my mind a thousand times. "I really like you and have never stopped loving you. It's just that in the past, there may have been some things that caused misunderstandings
between us, but there won't be such things happening again in the future. I will always be by your side, and I appreciate that you are willing to create new memories with her."
These words were spoken for the child to hear and also for Charlie to hear
Meteor pursed his lips and glanced at me, then at his father. In the end, he didn't say anything but just nodded hesitantly
What surprised me was that when I turned around, I actually saw tears in Charlie's eyes
Charlie's POV I have never cried in front of any woman

Even when my wife Meiling passed away, I did not shed a single tear
Because I have always known that tears cannot bring back the deceased, nor can they make falling stocks rise
But Olive's words to me and Meteor this morning made me realize for the first time that sometimes tears were completely uncontrollable
I first experienced the feeling of my heart being tightly squeezed and then forcefully struck
To be honest, this feeling was very unfamiliar, but it also brought a strange sense of pleasure that made me unable to resist
I used to greatly enjoy the feeling of controlling others. My family background and wealth were enough to allow me to play the role of a superior in front of most people. In the circle where I lived, I could easily manipulate anyone's life and effortlessly receive praise from anyone
But I always felt that there was something missing in the easily satisfied desire for control and easily obtained praise
And today, I finally got the answer I wanted from Olive
In every minute and every second of the past, what I have never received was "sincerity"
Olive's sincere and passionate expression made me suddenly realize that perhaps what I wanted was not to control someone's life, but someone
who could love me wholeheartedly
If such a person were to appear, I would rather give up all my power, even if she asked me to do anything, I would gladly accept it
But no one had ever been able to give me this feeling
Meiling and I were a couple in a free relationship, but even with her, I never felt completely cherished and valued
Perhaps when we fell in love at the beginning, she had given me her care. But that was just a fleeting moment during the honeymoon phase, and it didn't even last until the end of our wedding ceremony
So after getting married, I crazily wanted to bind her to me with this legal marriage contract, attempting to use the power of control to extract her dependence and sincerity towards me. But the ultimate result was that I ended up pushing her away
Meiling even resented me and feared me because of this. I was well aware that she never forgave me for my impulsive actions until she died in a plane crash
