She Threw Up While Signing the Divorce Papers and Told Her Mafia Husband She Was Carsick, but His Next Order Changed Everything

Chapter 28 / 30
Chapter 28 - THE LAST VISITEvelyn visited Victor alone.
She was seventy now.
He looked older than that.
She told us afterward because secrets had done enough damage.
Victor apologized.
Not dramatically.
Not convincingly enough to erase anything.
He asked whether Julian was happy.
“Yes.”
“Does he ask about me?”
“No.”
Victor absorbed that.
Then asked:
“Does he hate me?”
Evelyn answered:
“I think he stopped needing to.”
That hurt Victor more.
Before she left, he asked if she forgave him.
Evelyn said no.
Then added:
“But I forgive myself for giving you up.”
Victor began crying.
For decades, he had punished her because he believed her choice proved he was unwanted.

Evelyn had punished herself for the same reason.
Only one of them finally stopped.
