Chapter 499 He Knew He Was in the Wrong All This Time

"That's why I made a mistake that most men tend to make. It wasn't until years later after your mother's death that I realized that I had let her down all this while. She was a good woman, and I owe you both an apology. Please forgive me, even though I know there is nothing I can do in exchange for your forgiveness."

Meanwhile, Selena was still waiting for Pierre until the night set in. Overwhelmed by her worry, she eventually decided to check up on him in the home theater after heating up the dish the third time. Then, she saw Pierre sitting in the middle, while the video of John was still playing on the screen. It looks like this is the video that Old Mr. Fowler specially left for Pierre. She soon walked up to the man and sat beside him, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright? It's time for dinner." At the same time, she also noticed Pierre's red eyes and tear stains, which indicated that he might have been crying.

"He knew that he was in the wrong all this time but had never admitted it until now," Pierre murmured to himself, yet it looked like he was confiding to Selena.

"It's over now."

Pierre then turned his attention to Selena and asked, "Do you know when this will was made?" Selena shook her head in response, but deep down, she was curious when John gave him the will because Pierre had only met his father for a handful of times.

"A few years ago, he made his will in my presence and gave it to me right after he sealed it. I think that was because he had probably foreseen the threat that I would face one day when he was gone." While Pierre was already a man with unrivalled power and status, John had nonetheless devised a contingency plan for his son out of an unconditional fatherly love should there be any unforeseen circumstances. "After you came into my life, I had him amend his will and sealed it back again."

It was at that moment that Selena finally understood why her name was on the will and how she possessed so many shares.

"At that time, Dad didn't know whether Chris was his blood son, and neither was he aware about Helen's scheme. Thus, I became the only person he could entrust with Chris' future."

Selena didn't know how she could comfort Pierre. Despite John's mistake, she reckoned he was not at all a lousy father, as he had Pierre's best interests in mind.

"Did I make a bad call, Selena?"

Selena held Pierre's hand and answered, "Does it matter? It's already over anyway."

Pierre looked back at the lady with a smile and stroked her chin. "Yeah, you're right! It's all over. Come on. Let's get our dinner!"

"Sure!"

Then, Selena held hands with Pierre and walked out of the home theater, while Pierre looked back and glimpsed at the screen. After the will was handed over to the relevant authority, it was officially announced that Pierre was appointed as the Fowler Corporation's president and director, as Selena became the second biggest shareholder in the company. Eventually, things finally got back on track after a long, busy week.

Since Pierre didn't usually have much time to stay home, he decided to spend some long-lost quality moments with the children; he also let Jameson take a day off from kindergarten since he was the only one who could attend anyway. Later that night, Pierre carried Selena back to the bedroom after she had put the kids to sleep. "Finally, it's my turn! I didn't know I'd have to wait in line just to enjoy some intimate moments with my wife!" As much as Pierre was upset, he could only get over it because there was no reason for him to take his frustration out on his kids.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Selena yawned. "I'm tired. Good night!"

"Oh, come on! Don't spoil the fun!" Pierre yanked Selena from the bed and made her sit straight.
