Chapter 645
Eduardo was momentarily speechless, his mind grappling with the unexpected question.
Before he could gather his thoughts, she continued with childlike sincerity.
“Grandpa, if you had the chance to choose again, why can’t
Mom and Dad have it too? Our teacher says that children who are willing to correct their mistakes deserve a second chance.
”
A deep flush crept up Eduardo’s neck, and he was quiet for a while
Elena’s heartfelt words left him bewildered.
He was lost in a sea of conflicting emotions.
Elena retrieved a folded piece of paper from her pocket, a vibrant invitation sketched with a child’s hand using crayons.
The handwriting was imperfect, but its seriousness was undeniable.
It was clear that whoever crafted it had poured their heart into it.
With genuine earnestness, Elena handed the invitation to Eduardo and said, “Grandpa, Mommy actually tried to invite you.
I saw the invitation before.
But she didn’t have the courage to send it to you in the end.
I made a new invitation card for you.
I hope you like it.
”
I was at a loss for words.
I had made an invitation for Eduardo, but after some contemplation, I discarded it, tossing it into the bin.
Somehow, Elena must have stumbled upon it.
The look on Eduardo’s face changed.
He clearly found himself at a crossroads, grappling with a decision.
His gaze eventually shifted to the ring adorning my finger, reminding him of something long forgotten.
Lost in a swirl of memories, his eyes revealed the depths of his recollections.
“That ring is the one I gave to your mother.
I didn’t realize such a long time has passed.
”
Seizing the perfect moment, I spoke the words I had rehearsed, my voice laced with earnestness.
“Eduardo, I assure you, I’m not lying about
Frosty River Pack’s IOU.
I dared to take the risk and retrieved it from
Adam’s clutches.
And as for Marley and Colin, you needn’t send someone to stage a prison break.
”
Unwavering, I continued, “Tonight, I shall escort them to the outskirts of town and deliver them personally into your care.
This will be the last respect I give you.
If you don’t want to leave, the security guards will take matters into their own hands.
I have devised a plan so that if any incident befalls this town, the Xeric Pack shall swiftly spring into action.
Think about the people of Silver Ridge Pack, who are so eager for peace.
You don’t want to destroy everything, do you?”
A weary sigh escaped my father’s lips.

“I once groomed you as my successor, yet little did I know that you would wield every lesson you learned today.
”
The tension in the air had finally lifted, leaving behind a much lighter atmosphere.
It felt as if a weight had been lifted off our shoulders.
“Mr.
Clarkson, I want to express my gratitude for joining us here today.
” Riley exclaimed, seizing the opportunity to escort my father onto the stage.
“While this may come as an unexpected surprise, I believe that Debra has your full blessing.
”
Eduardo, seemingly chastened, followed Riley quietly.
With the unsettling incident behind us, everything began to flow effortlessly.
I mingled with the guests, sipping on my drink and seizing the chance to clarify the misunderstandings.
“Everyone, Caleb and I were once mates, but we let misunderstandings come between us.
Now that the fog has lifted, we simply cannot wait to be together.
Time is too precious to waste
