Chapter 410

It should have been an extremely ordinary thing for a son to be giving a massage to his
mother, who had two crippled legs. However, such an image of a son caring for his loving mother was
too rare for Freya and Jace.

They seemed to have already forgotten the last time both the mother and son could converse with each
other calmly. It felt like it was ages ago.

Freya was a little embarrassed. She was afraid her son’s knee would hurt from kneeling, and she
wanted to stop him from massaging her. However, Freya’s personal butler, Aunt Wendy, perceptively
brought in a round stool. “Jace, the floor is cold. Sit on this. Miss Freya’s legs need to be properly
massaged.” After that, she even winked at Freya before she went out. Freya thought, ‘This woman…’
Jace sat on the stool and massaged his mother’s legs with the utmost attention. “I will accompany you
to the hospital tomorrow for a follow-up checkup.” Freya rejected him without a second thought.
“There’s no need for that. They won’t get better anyway. Why waste the time…” Jace lifted his head,
looked at her, and was very persistent. “You must go.”

Freya was speechless. She pursed her lips. “Fine. I’ll go. It’s no big deal anyway.” Jace’s cold
expression became a little gentle…

The room was silent for a long while. Freya then suddenly opened her mouth and said,” You’ve made a
trip to Brown City, so have you met Lucas and Luna?”

Jace lightly stopped massaging her legs. “How did you know?” “A friend of mine attended the wine
tasting event and said that you guys were there.” Jace plainly uttered, “Mmhmm.” He initially thought
his mother was about to bad mouth his father and Luna, but she did not mention them. Instead, she
simply looked at Jace emotionally. Her throat was a little dry when she said, “About the things back
then, it was me, your mother, who wronged you.”

Jace lifted his eyes a little, and he looked shocked.



Freya leaned back on the chair. Her face had already aged, but she was still very charming. Her
attractiveness was still evident on her face.

She wore a never-before-seen miserable smile, and she sighed softly. “I’m not sure if it’s because I
have gotten older. Recently, I’ve recalled some things from a

long time ago. I have been very stubborn since I was born. It was also something that I developed after
being spoiled by your grandparents. I am condescending and arrogant.”

Freya evaluated herself as she took another look at her son again.



“You should know that I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. When I was a child, our family
was not wealthy. Your grandpa was still selling antiques. There were more broken bricks and smashed
tiles than bread at home. However, despite being poor, I had great ambition, and I never thought that I
was lesser than others.

“Later on, I didn’t even finish high school, and I followed your grandfather and dove into doing
business. The Yuriel family’s business got bigger and bigger. I also grew up along with it and reached a
suitable age to be married.”

Jace had never heard that from his mother previously, but it was not unfamiliar to him. He heard a little
from his grandparents about his mother’s experience growing up.

He knew that the Yuriel family had the vast business because his mother had contributed significantly.
Unfortunately, she was also the one who had suffered the most among her siblings.

“At that time, I was not that young. Your grandparents were extremely worried as they were afraid I
couldn’t get married. They then made arrangements for me to go on blind dates. However, I had very



high standards. Those so-called rich men from wealthy families either did not look good or were so
vulgar that they kept talking about money every time they spoke. I did not fancy any of them at all. In
the end, I got together with Lucas.” Freya smiled mockingly. “When I was young, I had no idea what a
man from a humble background would be like. I only felt that it would all be fine as long as two people
loved each other deeply, so why don’t I just marry someone handsome that I liked then? I didn’t care
about having similar backgrounds, the status of a person, and whatnot. As for what happened after
that, you already know about it as well…”

Of course, Jace knew about it. To be more specific, he had witnessed it with his own eyes. His parents,
who were initially very lovely, turned against one another.

His family, who was initially happy, became broken. He had been involved in the entire process and
also understood the reasons. However, he still did not know how it ended up like that.

Why would two people who used to love each other suddenly stop loving each other? If love could
vanish so quickly, then how did all those great love stories through the years

since ancient times come about?

Jace could not understand, so he did not believe in love, much less marriage.

Love was too short-lived. Marriage was also something flashy that had no actual substance. As a
result, he could barely hold on to those who loved him.
