A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1222

Chapter 1222

“Have a seat/ Natalie said before entering the kitchen with the cold pot of coffee in the living room and returning with a hot one.

Then she poured the coffee into a cup and handed it to Mikhail. “Here you go."

When he saw that, he felt as though his mind had traveled back to more than two decades ago. Jen would also serve me coffee like this in the past. Natalie's demeanor and manner of pouring the coffee are almost precisely the same as Jen's.

A storm of emotions brewed in his heart as he witnessed that scene. He sniffed as tears welled in his eyes.

After Natalie poured herself a cup of coffee as well, she raised her eyes and saw him staring at her with reddened eyes.

They gazed at each other for a moment before Mikhail realized he had lost his composure and cleared his throat. "You really do look like your mother...”

“Mhm." Natalie nodded. “Aunt Patricia said the same thing. She mentioned I looked exactly like my mother when my mother was young, as though we were both born from the same mold."

Tears continued to well in his eyes as he spoke. "In the end, she did move on from me. She didn't even want to meet with me or let you know I existed before she passed. This is the cruelest punishment in the world for me..."

"You're wrong! Mother didn't punish you!" Natalie refuted resolutely. "She didn't expect things would turn out like this. If not for a string of coincidences, you wouldn't have known I'm your daughter, so there wouldn't have been any 'punishments.' You would've only treated her as a dead lover. While you would miss her, you wouldn't have experienced any other emotions. Mother was a woman who was contented with living a simple life, and she wasn't as complicated as you thought she was. Right before she passed and when she was in a state of delirium, she was still muttering your name."

Unable to control his emotions any longer upon hearing that, Mikhail sobbed. "Jen... Oh, Jen... I'm sorry I let you down..."
