Brian came to her daughter’s ceremony, but before that of course, Abigail and Willow had to make a fuss over it.

They actually had been waiting for him outside of his door the moment he opened the door, Abigail threw herself to him and hugged him so tightly, he thought, he was going to pass out, while Willow stood there and had her eyes on him, her gaze was intense and Brian knew why.

She saw the way he dressed and didn’t like with the fact that he might be invited to the ceremony, because there was no reason at all for Brian to be so neat this early morning.

“Where are you going father?” Willow finally asked, while Abigail was still crying in Brian’s arms.

Abigail was very sad because today was the day of the ceremony of the union between her younger daughter and while the whole kingdom knew about it and celebrated it, she didn’t even hear a peep about the invitation, even though Abigail was sure that Althea knew she was still in the mainland.

A year. It had been more than a year for her to be mad at them, it should be enough for her to calm down, but no, Althea chose to burn all the bridges and didn’t acknowledge her family at all

How could she was so heartless and cruel to her own parents, how she could be a parent herself when she abandoned her family?

She was not a good future queen if she didn’t want to acknowledge her own family and right now, Abigail came here to ask for support from Brian, because she thought they were on the same boat and if there was someone else, who knew exactly how she felt about the whole situation, it must be him.

However, after Willow’s remark, she finally realized that was not the case.

Abigail pulled herself together and blinked her tears away, as she looked at Brian with a pale face. “Wh- what is this?” she stammered because she couldn’t believe that he was very well prepared. “Are you going to the ceremony?”

Brian didn’t expect this early visit, but he expected them to come, after all they had been visiting him relentlessly for the last

year.

“Yes.” There was no way for him to lie and Brian didn’t even want to lie to her. Abigail should see the error in her way of treating their two daughters and this was only the consequences of her action that finally bit her on the butt.

As if on cue, Abigail started to wail, as she dropped to her knees and cry so hard, Brian had to pull them inside the room so they wouldn’t attract any attention in the hallway.

However, once they were inside, he didn’t know what to say, there was nothing he wanted to say to her, because she was still the same.

“How could you by yourself?”

do this to me? How could you not let Althea to let me attend the ceremony? How could go to her ceremony

Brian didn’t have any sympathy for Abigail, it was weird to see her cried so hard like this, but he felt nothing, because this woman was the woman that he used to care the most, someone that he thought, he would spend the rest of his life with, but as it turned out, the only thing that kept them together was a mere mate bond that kept fading away.

And right now, not even a mate bond kept them together because he had rejected her.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Father, how could you do this to us?” Willow cried as well. She was so upset, because her father was so stubborn. She wanted to visit the palace and see Killian, she had been waiting for this moment, but she didn’t give any invitation

She came here to try to convince her father to visit the palace even without the invitation, but as it turned out, he got the invitation.

You betrayed us.”

Brian lifted his eyes and then met with Willow’s, there was something in his eyes that made her took a step back out of instinct. The look on her father’s eyes was… terrifying to say the least.

“You need to think twice before you hurled that word to me, Willow.” Brian didn’t raise his voice, but the firm tone made Willow clamped her mouth.

“How could you do this to us?” Abigail wailed and then there was a knock on the door.

“I think you need to go.” Brian was familiar with this scent, if was the people from the palace, who came to pick him up to the ceremony and this made Willow and Abigail became even crazier,

“Do you want us to go, while you attending the ceremony?” Abigail couldn’t believe that.

“All of this happened because of you, Abigail, don’t play victim with me. You are the one, who didn’t even try to be with her, you didn’t even try to stand up for her!”

“Did you?” Abigail then stood up, her eyes blazed with anger after the tears didn’t work. “Did you stand up for her when she was accused of murdering Willow? You didn’t, Brian. You didn’t stand up for her even though you are the father, even though you are supposed to be the protector of the family, but you didn’t do anything, don’t lecture me about something that you didn’t even do,”

That was a sore spot for Brian, because he knew how wrong what he had done and there was no word that could describe how much he was sorry for that moment, but of course, he had something to tell her, to open her eyes.

Yes, I admitted that was the biggest mistake in my life and I redeemed myself,” Brian growled at Abigail, but this time, she didn’t show any fear. “But, I couldn’t say the same to you, in your eyes, Willow is still innocent, right?”
