Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

The moment Lexi said that, even though Samson was brimming with frustration, he couldn't let it out.

He gently pinched Lexi's nose and said affectionately, "You little smartie pants. You always know how to charm me."

Linda sat at the table, eating her oatmeal while watching the playful interaction between father and daughter. It reminded her of her childhood.

She used to frolic with John while Adeline looked on.

When she lived in Usna, passing by places full of children, she would see fathers gazing at their kids with the utmost tenderness, which would make her think of her own parents. If she could go back to the past, she would wish that everything had never happened.

If only she had a time machine, she'd go back nine years and prevent that absurd marriage from ever starting. She would nip that devastating relationship in the bud. She often wondered if she could return to the past.

The word "past" was almost absurd. It always made people dwell on what had happened while simultaneously reminding them not to live in those memories.

So, Linda often pondered that not everything that existed was necessarily reasonable.

When Samson noticed Linda's distracted state, he patted Lexi's little arm. Lexi walked over and hugged Linda.

"Mommy, even though I said I love Daddy and Uncle William, in my heart, you're still the one I love the most. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and I want to be with you forever." Linda snapped back to the present and kissed Lexi's soft cheek. "I love you, too."

Samson understood that Linda was touched by the moment. "Your parents wouldn't want you to keep dwelling on those memories. Try to look forward and move on." Linda handed Lexi over to the nanny, Zoey.

"I understand that, but I can't stop myself from thinking about them. Watching you interact with Lexi just now, I felt like I was back in my childhood, interacting with my dad. "But no matter how much I regret it, things can't go back to the way they were."

Samson couldn't fully empathize with Linda's feelings but tried his best to offer comfort. "You've grown up, Linda. Both you and Chloe need to learn to move past those old wounds."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Linda wished she could. If she could control her thoughts, she'd have already stopped thinking about them. "Samson, I don't even know if I should hate or not hate anymore." Could hate solve anything? What about revenge?

Linda admitted that while she was in Usna, she had thought about making those who wronged her pay. Yet, when she returned to Osmo, those thoughts seemed to have vanished. She began to view the past actions from each person's perspective, viewing them through their own subjective interests and motivations.

No one was entirely at fault. The perceived wrongs came from how others affected her interests.

Everyone lived for themselves, driven by self-love. When one's interests were harmed, it often seemed like anything the other person did was wrong.

Linda had once loved William deeply, losing herself completely. Now, she no longer loved him.
