“Alright, alright, you’re right,” Tilda sighed. “Actually, when you two first separated, I thought you would regret it, especially when you were about to go into the delivery room. I really thought you would contact him.”
If it were her, she would have thought of contacting the most important person in her heart in such a critical situation.
At that time, Rosalind had a difficult labor and hemorrhaged heavily. When the doctor handed over the critical condition notice for her to sign, Tilda was so scared that she cried uncontrollably outside the delivery room!
That was probably the hardest thing Tilda had ever signed in her life.
“Since I decided to seek the truth and give him up, I can’t regret it.”
It would be too unfair to Ulric.
“So… what do you plan to do about ‘him’? You can’t keep him abroad forever.”
Realizing who Tilda was referring to, a trace of worry flashed across Rosalind’s face, her delicate brows furrowing before she let out a soft sigh.
“Tilda, I’m doing this for-”
Tilda interrupted, “I know why you’re doing it, but this isn’t a long-term solution!”
“Yes,” Rosalind nodded.
No one understood the pros and cons better than she did, and no one understood the pain she felt day and night more than herself.
Keeping him abroad meant that she was the one who lived in constant fear and anxiety every day.
Tilda walked over and patted her shoulder. “Bring him back. There are many other ways; keeping him abroad isn’t the only safe option.”
Seeing Rosalind’s increasingly frail appearance, Tilda knew she was struggling as well.
“I’ll consider it! Also, since you and Floyd are here, why don’t you stay for a couple of days? The best hotel in Wayer City right now is Dreamview Hotel. I’ll book another room for you here. Besides, I haven’t heard any news about W Group people coming to Wayer City, so there shouldn’t be any issues.” Rosalind hugged her daughter tightly, unwilling to let go-this was a mother’s natural instinct.
Since they were already here, a few more days wouldn’t make a difference.
“Really? Yay! Don’t worry, if I take Floyd out to play, I’ll definitely make her wear a mask. If you have work to do, just go ahead; you don’t need to worry about us!”
Rosalind nodded and looked at Tilda. “These years have been really hard on you.”
“Are we really going to talk about this? Isn’t that too formal?” Tilda winked at her. “Besides, I volunteered! So many people envy me for having such a beautiful goddaughter like Floyd!”
Rosalind felt helpless but also envied Tilda’s lifestyle and mindset.
If only she could be more open-minded, maybe she wouldn’t be so exhausted.
…
There were no direct flights from Nova Zealandia to Wayer City, so Ulric had to first fly to Northville City and then transfer to Wayer City airport.
Although Ulric’s itinerary required complete confidentiality and no entourage, Cedric had still arranged for a car to pick him up and had taken care of the accommodation and dining arrangements.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ulric saw the person who had come to pick him up.
After placing his luggage in the car, Ulric sat in the back seat with his eyes closed for a short nap. His thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his long eyelashes cast a deep shadow on his lower eyelids. He had taken off his suit jacket and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt-this was his most relaxed state.
Flying from abroad to home had taken an entire day, and he had finally landed.
The driver glanced at Ulric through the rearview mirror and cautiously asked, “Mr. Walters, shall we go directly to Dreamview Hotel or…?”
“To the hotel.”
