Chapter 214 I’m Sorry!
Andrew appeared helpless as he looked at his mother. “Mom, please stop messing around, or you’ll
faint again.” His mother, Salma, used to be a normal wealthy lady, but now she was acting like a shrew.
His words infuriated her. “Nonsense, you’re the one messing around.”
Being accused of messing around by her son made her feel particularly uncomfortable, and she
couldn’t help but wonder if Simone was treated the same way. Even though Simone hadn’t caused any
trouble, her family labeled her as a troublemaker.
told
Feeling frustrated, Salma exerted all her strength and smashed the phone on the ground. “I
you not to chat or think about going to see Jodie. Y-You worthless thing! Stay by my bedside for the
next few days, and don’t go anywhere.”
Her son was thinking about sneaking off to take care of Jodie while she was sick; he was truly
heartless. Right now, she deeply regretted her decision to adopt Jodie, who had turned her sons into
beings without conscience and brains.
Andrew saw the shattered screen of the phone on the ground. He picked it up and checked it; it had
blacked out, and he was even more frustrated. Who did he provoke? His mom was truly sick, and her
condition was serious.
When he was about to speak, Aaron immediately stopped him. “Andrew, you need to calm down now. If
you say anything and make Mom even worse, what will we do?”
Luca added with a serious face, “Andrew, stop messing around. You do nothing all day but provoke
Mom.”
Andrew pointed at himself, unable to believe it, and asked, “Am I messing around?”
Luca replied, “Of course, aren’t you the one messing around? Or is it us? Can you just calm down?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou’re happy to disturb the peace of our home, aren’t you?”
Andrew was speechless listening to these words. Why did they sound so familiar? Then, it dawned on
him. “Are you using the same words to lecture me as you used to criticize. Simone? Are you crazy?” As
he said this, even he was stunned.
Luca was also taken aback. Did he say those things to Simone before? It seemed like he did. But upon
careful recollection, Simone hadn’t actually done anything that would make someone furious. She
hadn’t even made their mom faint and end up in the hospital, nor had she done anything inappropriate.
Why did they always say Simone was “making a fuss” back
then?
Luca suddenly asked, “Andrew, when we scolded you for making a fuss and told you to calm

down, were you really unhappy?”
Andrew gave him a disdainful look. “Of course, if I said the same to you, would you like it?”
Aaron added, “But you’ve also criticized Simone like this before when she didn’t do anything, and she
certainly didn’t make Mom so angry as you did.”
Andrew choked, “Are you saying that you’ve never criticized her like this before?”
Aaron’s face showed a hint of guilt. “Yeah, we’ve all treated her like this. No wonder she doesn’t want
to forgive us.”
They never thought about this before, but now that they thought about it, they all felt a little
embarrassed and couldn’t help but wonder if Simone was unhappy and uncomfortable when they
criticized her like this in the past.
Moreover, it seemed like she really didn’t do anything wrong, but they accused her, which was even
more unfair. This statement made Luca, Andrew, and even Salma fall silent. After all, they had all done
this before.
Aaron sighed and said, “What they say is true. You don’t feel the pain until it happens to you.” Looking
at Salma and Andrew’s reactions now, he could tell they couldn’t accept being criticized as “making a
fuss.”
They had hurt Simone in the past. Otherwise, she used to be so kind-hearted and cared about them
from all angles.
Luca sighed as well. “Many times, you only realize the value of something after losing it.”
Salma had stopped her tears, but they started flowing again. Now, she could truly understand how it felt
to be spoken to like this by loved ones, and it was uncomfortable, suffocating, and infuriating.
Moreover, her sons were even more excessive in the past. No wonder Simone. didn’t want to come to
the hospital and preferred to go out and have fun with others.
She asked, “What should we do for Simone so she would let go of the past?” She wanted to make
amends with her daughter and have her continue to care for and accompany her. This time, she would
reciprocate her feelings with the same or with even more care and companionship as long as her
daughter could come back.
Aaron and the others looked at each other. “We don’t know.” If they knew, they would have already
brought her back.
Sigh! For a moment, the four of them, mother and sons, suddenly had nothing to say and didn’t want to
speak anymore.
Andrew’s understanding was not as deep as the other three. Besides feeling that they shouldn’t have
criticized Simone like that in the past, he was worried about lodie, who was

left alone. Still, he didn’t dare to slip away. Otherwise, he didn’t know what his mom would do. Not only
would he continue to suffer, but his mom would be even more angry with Jodie.
Meanwhile, Aaron thought for a moment and took out his phone to send a private message to Simone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSitting next to him, Luca happened to see it. After thinking for a moment, he, too, privately messaged
Simone, sending a message.
On the other side, at sea, Simone and Tina sat chatting and drinking fruit wine while Zac and the others
played the guitar and sang.
Simone placed the phone provided by the production team on the table, and it beeped twice. She
picked it up and looked at it to find messages from Aaron and Luca, and the content was the same.
Aaron: I’m sorry.
Luca: I’m sorry!
Simone felt somewhat puzzled and speechless. Are these two being dumb again? she wondered but
didn’t reply and exited the messaging app. Then, she continued to listen to Zac and the others singing,
laughing happily with them.
The Gray Family’s actions no longer affected her emotions in the slightest. Seeing Simone smiling so
brightly, Tina thought that she was incredibly beautiful when she smiled and couldn’t help but take a
couple of her pictures. With Simone’s permission, she posted them. in the group chat.
Leon, who was drinking at the bar, felt a pang in his heart when he saw them. It had been at long time
since he had seen Simone smile so happily and brightly. Indeed, she hadn’t been happy during those
days before, he thought with deep regret.
Aaron and Luca were equally uneasy. The Gray Family had never witnessed Simone smile like this
before. It came as no surprise to them that she did not respond to their messages. They simply wanted
to apologize to her now, regardless of whether she accepted it or not.
After Tina posted the photos, she noticed that Zac, Harry, and Keira were still singing while Eric and
Brandon were grilling food. This presented a rare opportunity for her and Simone to have some alone
time together, and she couldn’t let it slip. Therefore, she stood
up and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. After she wrote a few lines, she placed it in front of
Simone.
