“What is this?” Simon asked in confusion.

“Take a look, and you’ll know.” Marina glanced at Simon.

Simon raised his eyebrows. He took the folder and opened it.

A photo was slid out.

Simon originally had a smile on his face.

But when he saw the photo, the smile on his face froze.

He paused for half a second before picking it up immediately.

It was a photo of a lady.

In the photo, the young lady was smiling at the camera.

However, the young lady looked surprised.

It was as if she had been secretly photographed and had no choice but to smile.

From her bright facial features, one could vaguely see they were similar to Simon’s.

“Where did you get this photo?” Simon suddenly looked up at Marina.

“Didn’t I tell you just now? This is what my mother gave me,” Marina explained again.

“Your mother?” Simon repeated in a low voice. Then, he stared at the photo in his hand with a burning gaze.

His eyes looked at the photo nostalgically.

“My mother told me that she and your mother are best friends. Don’t you know about this?” Marina looked at Simon in confusion.

Before she was born, Simon’s biological mother was already dead.

Therefore, it was normal for her not to know about this past.

However, Simon should have been able to remember. Why didn’t he know?

“I don’t know. As far as I remember, they seemed to have never got in touch with each other.” Simon shook his head.

“Really? But my mom said… Marina looked up at Simon.

“Erm… Please don’t be mad if I tell you this.” Marina gave him a warning shot.

“Go ahead,” Simon said.

“You don’t know that my mother and your mother are friends. It’s probably because of your father that the friendship between them fell apart,” Marina took a deep breath and explained.

“My… dad?” Simon’s eyes flickered.

“Mm.” Marina nodded.

“I don’t think my mother liked your father very much. She even told me that the thing she regretted most in her life was introducing your mother to

him.

“I guess after that, your mother insisted on marrying your father, so there was a quarrel between the two of them.

“But that is only my guess. I’ll ask my mother if you want to know the specifics.” Marina guessed based on her mother’s previous words.

“No need…” However, Simon rejected it in a hoarse voice.

He lowered his head and carefully took out the contents of the folder.

There were many photos inside.

Those were basically photos of Simon’s biological mother.

The remaining photos were of Mary and her.

From the photos, it could be seen that the two of them were very close.

They even went to many places together. In every photo, the two of them were smiling brightly.

“I’ve rarely seen my mother smile so brightly as long as I could remember.

“My mother seemed to be sad every day. She looked like she had something in mind always.

“It’s just that once she found out I was looking at her, she would immediately smile.

“But even so, her smile seemed like she was hiding something sad.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a sincere smile.” Simon’s voice was very low.

It sounded indescribably desolate.

“Did your dad and your mom… not have a good relationship?” Marina asked.

When Simon heard this, he slowly sighed.

It was a while before he spoke.

“I don’t know how to describe their relationship.

“The two of them did not have a good relationship, but… my father seemed very concerned about my mother.

“He had remembered all the holidays and my mother’s hobbies.

“He even cooked for my mother when he was in a good mood.”

When Marina heard this, she squinted her eyes.

From the sound of it, they did seem to have feelings for each other.

However, Simon spoke again after a short pause.

“However, the two of them almost never communicated. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If they spent too much time together, they would start fighting.

“Moreover, the two of them did not sleep together. Sometimes I think they seem to be very close to each other, but sometimes I think they’re very far apart.”

Simon’s memories of the past were actually very vague.

He had always thought that he had forgotten.

However, now that he thought about it, he realized he could not forget those scenes no matter what.

Those were probably already engraved in the depths of his mind.

It was just like the invisible damage.

“Perhaps they had love between them at first. It’s just that interaction between people involves a lot of other things besides love.

“Pure things like love become impure once they involve other things.

“Emotions on one side and reality on the other. People become painful and conflicted.

“He could not let go because he loved her, but he could not give up his principle also because be loved her.”

Marina probably understood Simon’s biological mother’s state at that time.

“Actually, back then… I hoped that the two of them could be separated…“. This was the first time Simon talked to others about his parents.

When Marina heard this, she looked up at him.

“The state they were in together makes me feel…depressed.

“I think that getting a divorce might be better for both of them.

“But they didn’t separate until my mom died…

“Maybe I should… be braver and force them to get a divorce.

“But… I was too young at that time. I couldn’t bear to… part with them, so I pretended not to know about them.

“If I had taken action earlier, would it have…. prevented what happened afterward?”

Simon’s voice was very low. But even so, Marina could feel the intense sadness emanating from him..

Marina immediately opened her arms and hugged him.

“It’s not your fault. I wouldn’t want my parents to be separated if I were you.

“This is the deepest wish of every child. Moreover, I believe your mother is unwilling to leave you” Marina’s voice was gentle and powerful.

Simon opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, when the words reached his throat, he realized that he could not say anything.

He could only hug the person in his arms tightly.

Then, he buried his head in her neck.

It was as if this could suppress the pain in him.

Marina hugged Simon tightly.

At this moment, she had become his faith and support.

She was like a floating cloud bringing him out of the abyss.
