Chapter 526
So, it turned out the nightmares he'd suffered every night in prison weren't just dreams-they were memories. Everything had actually happened in his last life.
He was tormented each day, desperate to find Claire and explain, but after witnessing the heartbreak of his mother dying without ever being forgiven, he couldn't bring himself to face Claire.
Deep down, he knew the pain he'd caused Claire was no less than what he'd done to his mother. If Claire couldn't forgive her own mother, how could she ever forgive him?
So he stayed quietly in Cresthaven, year after year, keeping to himself.
Those years were nothing short of agony.
He'd wanted to leave Claire in peace, to never disturb her life again. But in the end, he couldn't help himself—he came to Northcrest City.
Even if all he could do was watch Claire from afar, to see with his own eyes that she was happy, that would be enough for him.
It was only after coming to Northcrest City that he discovered Claire and Sean already had a daughter.
Her name was Amara.
The very same name as in his last life, and she looked exactly the same.noveldrama
Last time, Claire died never knowing she had a daughter.
But in this life, Claire finally had the happiness she deserved-someone to love her, someone to cherish her.
For Ethan, never receiving Claire's forgiveness was his greatest regret. Next to that, it was not being able to truly be a part of his only niece's life in his past life.
He and Brian had lived together in the villa Claire once called home, surviving on memories and longing for Claire. Within a few years, both of them were gone.
But now, seeing Amara again in this life, Ethan was overwhelmed with joy.
He never intended to approach her-just watching from a distance was enough. But today, the driver who was supposed to pick Amara up from school never showed.
Ethan watched little Amara standing alone by the school gates, glancing around with anxious eyes. Unable to help himself, he stepped forward.
He hadn't expected Amara to be so cautious.
Ethan hurried to explain, "Amara, I promise I'm not a bad person. Please, trust me."
But Amara didn't believe a word. She pointed at him and told the security guard, "Sir, please stop him! He's trying to kidnap me!"
The guard knew Amara was the
cherished daughter of Claire and et
Sean, the little princess adored by both the Foster and Tempest families.
Anyone daring to take Amara must have a death wish.
Without a second thought, the guard grabbed Ethan and, ignoring his frantic
explanations, marched him straight to the police station.
All the while, little Amara watched Ethan struggle in the guard's grip, her expression cool and detached.
She tilted her head slightly, a strange discomfort blooming in her chest at the sight of his distress. She
frowned, blaming the odd feeling on this strange man-surely he was just ruining her day.
Hmph! If he thought he could trick her, he was dreaming.
Just then, the Foster family's car finally pulled up.
Amara hopped in, but as the car drove away, she could still see Ethan outside, desperately trying to explain himself.
The Foster family home.
"Great-Grandma, I'm home from school!" Amara called out, bounding inside.
Aberdeen's face broke into a broad
smile at the sight of her beloved
great-granddaughter. "There's my precious Amara! Slow down, sweetheart, don't trip!"
Amara threw herself into the old lady's arms, nuzzling her little face against Aberdeen's shoulder.
Aberdeen chuckled, "How was school today, darling? Did you have fun?"
Amara nodded obediently. "It was fun. Just like always. But..."
"But what?" Aberdeen asked curiously.
Amara didn't hide anything. "I met a strange man at the gate. He said he was my
uncle, and he really wanted to take me away."
