Gu Babao left them a private space; she went to the second floor café for tea. Mo Chen watched Gu Babao's indifferent back and felt his heart sink, momentarily forgetting to push away Avril who was in his arms.

"Mo Chen, where did you go Why didn't you tell me," Avril asked sadly. She left his embrace and held onto his arms, saying softly, "Thank goodness you weren't hurt; I thought something happened to you."

"I'm fine," Mo Chen came back to himself and pulled away Avril's hands. Avril looked at him in surprise; the sunlight cast a layer of calm light on his face but brought an icy chill to her.

How could he seem like a different person

The garden was full of birds singing and flowers blooming, yet she felt as if she were in darkness.

"Avril, I'm sorry for my sudden return to Rome and for intruding on you without warning. For the trouble I caused you, I am truly apologetic. And... about what happened that night, I formally apologize; I'm sorry," Mo Chen said.

Avril's face turned pale as she couldn't believe her ears, asking shakily, "What did you say"

"I'm apologizing to you. No matter the form of compensation, I can accept it; I'm really sorry," Mo Chen said.

Avril narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath, coldly asking, "What do you mean"

Mos Chen thought about Gu Baobao, but he had to put her aside for now. If he didn't resolve the issue with Avril first, there would always be some kind of obstacle between him and Gu Baobao. Mos Chen was very gentlemanly in inviting her to sit down; despite being angry, Avril still wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Speak up."

Mos Chen said, "The story is quite long."

“Then make it short and sweet!” Before Mos Chen could continue, Avril interrupted him with a slightly hurried tone. Mos Chen shook his head, saying, “I’m afraid I can’t make this story brief. Ten years ago, there was a young boy who got injured in Barcelona and was saved by a little girl. He fell for her at first sight and just wanted to grow up together with her every day and night, wanting to take care of her forever. Unfortunately, he had to leave due to an assignment and couldn't return until ten years later, only to find that the girl disappeared without a trace. All these years, he has been tirelessly searching for her, thinking about whether she grew up, if she fell in love with someone else, or even forgot who he was. He wondered if she got married and found happiness elsewhere. Regardless of everything, this girl is his, even if she’s already married, he wants to take her away again, giving her another choice and a home. One day, a boy appeared who looked almost exactly like him; DNA tests confirmed that the boy was indeed his son. He panicked because he didn’t remember doing anything wrong to the girl emotionally or physically; he had an obsession with purity in both matters of heart and body. After checking some information online and seeing her mother's photo, which resembled the girl he remembered quite closely, and knowing they attended university together right before their child was born, he thought he finally found his girl and acted on it without delay. He didn't tell the boy’s mother about this out of fear that she would run away if she knew, so he pursued her despite his hesitation because in reality, the woman bore little resemblance to the girl from his memory. But a cup of milk tea broke his indecision as he impulsively asked the boy's mother if she wanted to be his girlfriend. He thought everything was perfect until he realized that he had mistaken someone.

Avril sucked in her breath, "Are you Sen’s dad"

Mos Chen looked at Avril and nodded solemnly, “Yes!”

The strength seemed to be drained out of Avril as she fell onto the stone bench; then suddenly, she raised her head and slapped him. With Mos Chen's reflexes, he could have dodged it, but he took it.

He owed Avril that slap for his reckless actions.

Avril pointed angrily at him, "So you're the one! I thought you were a responsible man, but turns out you’re irresponsible and heartless. Do you know how hard Baobao has been struggling all these years You just wanted to satisfy yourself and made her suffer terribly for it, you bastard! Why don't you cut off that thing of yours"

Mos Chen was at a loss for words.

Man, I'm innocent too.

However, in such situations, women usually end up being the ones who suffer, while men are seen as perpetrators or guilty parties. If you try to explain yourself, people might think you're just denying responsibility. Mo Chen decided to let Avril vent her frustration at him directly.

He truly had wronged Gu Baby. No matter how the child came about, it was undoubtedly true that Gu Baby endured much hardship over these years, and he owed her a great deal.

The thing that surprised him most was Avril's sense of justice for what Gu Baby and the children went through far outweighed her perception of his wrongdoing. Did this mean everything could be wrapped up perfectly

"I love Baby very much," Mo Chen stated bluntly.

Avril scoffed coldly, "Lies!"

"For ten years, I've searched for her and never given up. Every year, I stay in the Barcelona town; whenever I have free time, I go there hoping to meet her again so we can be together," Mo Chen said.

“Then how did you end up having a child with her If you love her, why didn't you keep her by your side during university” Avril asked angrily. In her eyes, Mo Chen was a complete jerk.

"I... I didn’t recognize her," Mo Chen said.

“That’s ridiculous! What kind of love is this”

He felt that he needed to humble himself in front of Avril, although the Mo family was used to being arrogant, it depended on who they were dealing with. Firstly, he had wronged Avril by making a huge mistake. Secondly, Baby Gu and Avril had good relations; he didn’t want Baby Gu to be put in an awkward position. Lastly, if he wanted to catch up to Baby Gu in the future, he might need Avril’s help.

Essentially, Young Master Mo Chen was a very pragmatic person who would never provoke someone powerful.

Avril was someone whom he had to please since Baby Gu listened to her. With one word from Avril, Baby Gu could marry him.

The future sister-in-law could not be offended again.

"I admit my mistake, I didn't recognize the pearl before my eyes, and it's all my fault. That’s why I’m apologizing to you," Mo Chen said with a sincere attitude. "Avril, can you forgive me"

Avril frowned and coldly looked at him, “Mo Chen, have you ever thought about who the person you love is—your imaginary Baby or the one right beside you”
