"This secret... cannot be shared with outsiders," Lady Hyde covered her face, tears seeping through her fingers. She didn't dare to look at Brandan's expression. She felt her heart was about to break. "I was bewitched for a moment. I liked Iris, thought to make the best out of a bad situation and wanted you two to be together."
"But I didn't expect you would dislike her so much," she cried out, "Brandan, it's all mother's fault. The way things have become... It's all my fault..."
If she had stopped Iris Harris from approaching Brandan Hyde back then, if she hadn't tried to bring them together, hadn't given Iris so much hope...
Perhaps it wouldn't have come to this.
She ruined everything.
Her unilateral wishful thinking ruined two people!
Brandan Hyde finally fell in love with Iris Harris, but it was too late... He fell in love with her at the worst possible time! Sometimes, she really wished he hadn't fallen for her. He was her only child. How could she bear to see him sad?
