Chapter 1843

Melon retorted, I am not a crybaby! Seeing Melons indignant expression, Moss chuckled and replied, You must have gotten that from your grandmother.
She was a crybaby, too.
Melons mouth fell open in shock.
He believed this was the first time Moss had mentioned his grandmother.
Curious, he couldnt help but inquire about her.
When Moss spoke of the woman he cherished, the coldness in his expression melted away, revealing a warm tenderness.
Your grandmothers name was Emilia.
She was the kindest and gentlest soul I have ever encountered.
Wow-really? Melon said. Was she beautiful? She was extremely pretty, the most beautiful woman in the world and the most truthful person Ive ever met.
Moss seemed to remember something, chuckled softly, and continued, She was quite timid, yet she risked her life for that man.
Melon, completely baffled, scratched his head and queried, Man? What man? Amiri.
Your grandmother loved him so much that she took a bullet for him when he was in danger, Moss replied, a sardonic smile playing on his lips.
At that moment, Melon gazed at Moss, bewildered, feeling as if his brain was overheating.
Had he misunderstood something? His grandparents were a couple, yet his grandmother had loved another man? Grandma cheated? Thats really bad of her, Melon commented innocently.
At this, Moss expression turned cold.
He fixed a stern glare on Melon.
Dont say that about your grandmother! It wasnt her fault; it was that mans doing! Melon recoiled at Moss intense look and stepped back.
Decades had passed, yet he still couldnt fathom why Emilia had chosen to protect Amiri with her life… He believed he loved Emilia more than Amiri ever did and would have made her much happier.
Emilia might not have known that despite her betrayal, his deep affection for her never waned.
His love for her remained steadfast over the years.
Perhaps the love would only end when his heart ceased to beat.
Melon had never seen such an expression on Moss face.
He was puzzled because Emilia had had an affair but Moss continued to defend her.
He was also curious about what kind of charm Emilia had to make Moss love her so profoundly.
Thus, Melon started badgering Moss for more details about Emilia, but Moss cut him off, saying, Enough. Youre too young to understand.
Bouncing up and down, Melon protested, I do understand! Moss, I even know what an affair is.
How could I not understand? Please, tell me more! When Melon mentioned the word affair, Moss anger sparked.
Normally, no one dared to speak to him that way.
Had Melon not once saved him, he might have already kicked Melon off the boat.
Noticing Moss displeased look, Melon hesitated to push further.
He sulked and shifted the conversation, saying, Is my mother really your daughter? Giving Melon a pointed look, Moss retorted, If she isnt my daughter, whose is she? Do you think I would lie to you? Melon was accustomed to Moss biting tone and shrugged it off.
He said, Since my mother is your daughter, why didnt you search for her before? Moss explained nonchalantly, I only realized your mother was my daughter when I saw the flower-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.
Melons confusion intensified.
Frowning, he questioned, After finally finding your daughter, why didnt you try to reconnect with her properly? Why did you kidnap me instead?
