Bearing His Child, Burying My Heart novel Chapter 11

Moiracollapsed into her aunt's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, yearning to let go of ten years of accumulated pain and vexation.

When no more tears came, she finally felt lighter and calmer.

The regrets of the past could never be remedied.

But at least, though she had been stripped of everything, she still managed to struggle free from that golden cage.

She refused to sink further into despair.

Back in her hometown, Moiraheld a simple funeral for her mother, burying her next to her father, who had passed away early.

The neighbors were incredibly warm and helpful, offering assistance with every little detail, making her feel less alone in her grief.

Determined to start anew, Moiradecided to stay.

The days were simple and pleasant.

Until one day, Elliott appeared in front of her.

The smell of alcohol hit her, giving her a headache.

She wanted to avoid him, but he blocked her way.

He looked at her, his eyes filled with a deep affection that she couldn't understand.

"Daniella. I miss you so much."

"Elliott, we're divorced now."

She remained calm, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Elliott shook his head continuously, stubbornly holding up the ring in front of her.

"I don't agree. Daniella, I can't live without you."

"During the time you've been gone, I've been going crazy thinking about you. I never dared to tell you, but the truth is, I truly loved you with all my heart."

But Elliott soon grew tired of her.

When a new favorite appeared, she was discarded before Daniella.

Elliott, caught and exposed, was speechless.

But he had spent too many years taking Daniella's patience and endurance for granted. He thought a few empty words could win her back.

After that, Elliott began sending her flowers and gifts as if they were still in their honeymoon phase.

But Moirawas no longer that naïve, ignorant girl.

She would never make the same mistake twice.

Just when she had decided to never see Elliott again for the rest of her life, she received a call from the lawyer.

Elliott's grandfather was on his deathbed. He wished to see her one last time.
