After The Legend Chapter 4.2

《4.2》Father and Son

In the hall, the father and son are still in confrontation.

After a long time, Aaron suddenly said "In fact, I have seen you once before when my mother was still there."

Xiao Tianjian was shocked. When did they meet?

He remembered that when Mary died six years ago, he knew that he had a son. At that time, because he was in grief and felt ashamed to see the child, both father and son never had the chance to meet.

Aaron said with a hint of self mockery: "When Elon graduated from the Royal Aristocratic College, his son was just born. At that time, you rushed back to see your grandson. I was there just behind Elon, but you probably regarded me as a servant, didn't you?"

"You were just looking at Elon and left the rest of us to just stand in there. You did not even bother to look at me. I've been laughed at for a long time because of that."

Xiao Tianjian's memory is excellent and he recalled the situation that year. Indeed, he remembered that there were several teenagers of the same age behind his son. One of them was brown hair and blue eyes and was very similar to Aaron's appearance. He thought he was Elon's cla.s.smate or a friend at that time. 

Who can blame him? Compared with the black haired Elon, Aaron who inherited Mary's brown hair and blue eyes, did not look like his son at all. 

He felt guilty and sighed: "Aaron, I'm very sorry for you and your mother. I didn't even know you were there. I… When I left, your mother didn't tell me that she was pregnant. Later, every time I came back to visit your mother1(Aaron's foster mother; Xiao Tianjian legitimate (ex)wife)and brother, they said that she's doing well, so I… "

"Very well? Being called a Madam yet does the work of a maid and enduring the ridicule of others every day. Do you think that's doing well? 

"No…" Xiao Tianjian closed his eyes and had a headache. "It was told by others and I believe that. I saw her from a distance but at that time… She was with Marshall, they were talking and laughing and I thought…

"You thought what?! Do you think others will be like you? My mother has been faithful to you all her life. Even if there's a far better future for Uncle Marshall, he did not leave and has been our housekeeper since I was born. He lived his life as a servant."

"He and mother are innocent! You saying that not only insulted uncle Marshall but also insulted my mother's feelings for you! "

Xiao Tianjian's face turned red. Naturally, he knew that he misunderstood Mary at that time but no one told him the truth.

It was not until six years ago, when Mary died, that he found out his former lover had birth to a son and was waiting for him: 

"I know… I misunderstood her, but… your mother2(Aaron's foster mother, Xiao Tianjian legitimate (ex)wife) and brother didn't say so I… I really don't know. "

"Enough of your excuses! If you really want to know, you can go ask. Even if Madam Mirabel and Elon did not talk, will your friends refuse to give you answers?"

"Uncle Sherwin has been teaching me swordsmans.h.i.+p and yet he told me you never asked! It is because of your att.i.tude that we were treated with contempt and ridicule, saying that my mother is a shameless wh.o.r.e who seduces her master and that I am a wild child who n.o.body wanted! " Aaron could not help but choked.

"Unfortunately, no matter what other people said, my mother never gave up her love for you. She had always been waiting for you"

"Every time she heard of your return, she's always looking forward for your visit and yet you did not⁠— even if you knew that she was only a few rooms away." 

"Mom didn't see you until she died… until her last breath she was crying."

I originally planned to just copy and paste the MTL version but I ended up editing the chapters, so I'll just post it in parts. XD

Update would be 2 chapters every other day
