Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1192

She made a mistake, and he got the goods on her, giving him the power to use it fully against her! She couldn't escape no matter how!

Women really couldn't make such mistakes!

She'd be lying if she said she didn't regret it. But life gave no do-overs!

It was supposed to be a happy thing, but the child became a variant, and luck seemed to have left her that day on. Later, she just left things as they were and went with the flow, even harboring thoughts of revenge, walking further down the path, to the point of no turning back, to the point that even maintaining the life she was having was a luxury.

The heavens seemed to have pulled a serious prank on her. She had repented her sins for years, only to be brought back to square one in the very end.

Everyone was speechless, shocked by her words; even Alicia couldn't hide her surprise. However, Frederick's gaze landed on his father, whom he held a grudge against even until now.

Evidently, he hadn't a clue until Penny pointed it out!

It was said that those pitiable had something to be despised, but didn't the despicable have something to be pitiable about as well?

As Penny choked with sobs, Christian clenched his fists so hard that they popped. The couple shut their eyes unanimously. Reminisce the past, yet unpleasant.

Just when Penny raised her foot, and everyone thought that was the end of everything, Christian suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, Penny, I know everything... Gary said you're a good woman and asked me to treat you well. I really love you!"

He had never thought she would betray him!

Christian paused as their eyes met. He swallowed and sighed.

"Meseline's death and the trauma it brought Frederick are the regrets I can never rectify! It's my fault for not being a good husband, a good father! Both my wives, when I decided to marry you two, I loved with my whole heart! Even if I didn't love as much, the love and responsibility were still the same. The rules of the Clements family had never changed, and I, more than anyone, wished for family harmony. Just that, I'm not as lucky as Gary, or that there were issues with how Meseline and I communicated, leading to the irreversible ending. I love Hallie and Mason just as much as I love Frederick. Having learned my lesson, I even tried my best to fix my mistakes on you and our children. I've always known my marriage was rough, and Frederick will forever be my regret. The heavens have treated me well, but who would've thought..."

Alas, humans are fortune's fools. It turned out that the happiness he always thought he had was nothing but an illusion!

Christian's chest throbbed in pain, but apart from sighing, he didn't know what else to say. "Cough, cough..."

"Christian!"

Penny extended her hand toward him but stopped at the last minute, inches away from him. The next second, Carson went up to Christian. Penny closed her eyes, absolutely ashamed, and made her way to the door, taking Hallie with her.

Soon, the door opened once more, and the officers surrounded Steve and took him away. Everyone dispersed, leaving only Mason, who was still weeping buckets on the floor.

But when he saw his father's hoary and hunched back, he suddenly wondered if his methods had been too cruel!

Yes, Penny was bad and selfish and had done wrong, but she was kind from how everything turned out earlier; at least, she was still nice to his father. No matter the reasons for her means and Steve's attack, they at least didn't injure his father too badly. Plus, hearing her confession, he had to admit, the despicable yet pitiable woman moved him.

His mother's death was the root cause of his regret and resentment, but his father's intentional and unintentional bias had also shaped her tragedy, no? Though the blood of the Clements family didn't run inside Mason, they've been a family for years still. He could tell his father aged in a heartbeat. He wasn't that at all happy about how everything turned out but instead had a heavy heart as he looked at his beloved wife and son while thinking of the past and Penny's words.

"Ally, let's not have any more misunderstandings between us. We'll talk about every issue, okay?"

If Penny spoke her thoughts or his father never lied, things wouldn't turn out like this!

"Okay!"

Cupping his cheeks, Alicia placed a gentle kiss on the tip of his nose.

"Hubby, everyone has to be responsible for their actions, no? You couldn't have done anything about all that, nor were they your fault! You really don't have to feel guilty! Nothing can be kept a secret forever. Dad will know eventually, and he'll have to face it too! This may not have been the best way to learn about the secret, but he accepted it at least. And it has given him more time to think. As for what happens in the future, leave it for him to decide!"

Soon, Steve was charged with possession of firearms, attempted murder, and other offenses, and the death sentence was announced quickly, making the headlines of the news. As for the Clements family, the drama had come to an end.
