Olivia opposed Mason's suggestion without a second thought. "Grandpa, if I was interested in him, I wouldn't have run away from him. I don't plan on getting married again."

"Fine." His eyes lost their glint to disappointment, but he didn't force her. "Alright, I won't force you. I just hope you can be happy every day. Don't forget about the party tomorrow. Do you like the gown?" "Yes, it's pretty. I have a request about this, Grandpa. I don't wish for the kids to join."

"You have a point. We have to protect the kids."

"Grandpa, I don't know if that person would choose to make a move tomorrow or not. She hates me with her guts. She'll never miss the chance to kill me."

Mason put his paintbrush down. "Don't you worry, child. Her appearance is exactly what I'm asking for. If she has the nerve to come, I'll make sure she won't be able to return in one piece. I've told Linus to tighten the security."

She sighed. "It's highly possible that she's related to my real family. Grandpa, do you not know where Grandma is?"

Could it have something to do with something that happened during her grandmother's or her father's generation?

Finding her grandmother might shed light on the truth.

"She left without saying goodbye that year. I hired a lot of men to search for her, but a tsunami separated us again. If I had held her hands tighter, she wouldn't have left me."

Until today, the sheer thought of the scene hit home so hard. Mason's features contorted in grief, just like when Rose watched Jake sink into the deep sea in Titanic.

It was undeniable that humans were nothing compared to nature.

All Mason could do was to watch the wild waves devour the woman he loved.

He was washed to another city. He searched for Natalie in many cities, but it was in vain.

At an age where letters were the only means of communication, it was difficult to find someone who had gone missing.

"It was all my fault. I let your grandmother down."

No one knew if Natalie survived or not, and Mason eventually lost hope. In the end, he met Tatiana and became a matrilocal son-in-law. The two then built a family together. Tatiana was aware that there was someone else that Mason held dearly in his heart, but it didn't bother her since she assumed that Natalie was dead.

Yet, who would've known that Natalie was still alive and even gave birth to Mason's son?

Recently, Mason kept thinking back about the times he spent with Natalie. He wondered how she got out of the sea and where she went thereafter. "Grandpa, I don't know what happened to you guys that year, but everything is written in the stars. It's been so long. You should get over it." "Your grandmother hates me. I'm sure of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed hidden for so many years. There was no news about her at all." Olivia patted Mason's shoulders. "Grandpa, I believe that we'll be able to find her someday."

Even if Natalie had married and built a family, Mason wished to see her one more time.

"Olivia, it's getting late. Rest up. I'll protect you."

Even the quiet Willow was following Alicia around in the yard, watching Connor do his daily training.

Olivia watched them from the second floor. Alicia greeted with crescent eyes, "Morning, Mom!"

Supporting her chin with her palm, Olivia returned a sweet smile. "Morning, babies."
