Chapter 408 1 family of 3
The sound seemed to carry a magical power, floating slowly in the air, gently touching everyone's heartstrings.
Every note was like a dewdrop in the morning, crystal clear and emitting a gentle glow. The sound contained endless love and longing, like a soft ribbon, tightly wrapping Roger and Ace together.
When Ace heard Luju calling his name, his body shook violently. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.
A strong emotion surged in Ace's heart, like a surging tide, and his eyes were filled with endless emotions, which were the longing, longing and attachment to his mother.
The longing is like a deep ocean, boundless; the desire is like a burning flame, hot and intense; the attachment is like the warm sunshine, gentle and lasting.
Ace's heart was filled with emotion. He had heard his mother's call in his dreams countless times, but this time, it was so real.
Unable to hold back his inner impulse any longer, Ace rushed towards Lu Jiu. His steps were hurried and panicked, as if he was afraid that all this was just an illusory dream.
His heart was filled with tension and anxiety, he was afraid that everything would disappear in an instant. His footsteps were like a galloping horse, leaving a series of anxious footprints on the ground.
He stared at Lu Jiu, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart. "Mom!" Ace shouted loudly, with tears in his voice.
The sound was like the howling of a wounded beast, full of pain and desire. Tears welled up in Ace's eyes, and his heart was filled with joy and emotion.
The moment Ace threw himself into Lu Jiu's arms, he seemed to have found the warmest harbor in the world. The warmth was like the spring sunshine, soft and bright, dispelling all the haze and coldness in his heart.
He hugged Lu Jiu tightly, as if she would disappear again if he let go. His arms tightly wrapped around Lu Jiu, feeling her body temperature and heartbeat, a long-lost familiar feeling that filled his heart with peace and satisfaction.
In Luju's arms, Ace felt an indescribable sense of security, as if all dangers and difficulties could not approach him.
Ace cried bitterly in Lu Jiu's arms, his tears poured out like a flood, soaking Lu Jiu's clothes.
Those tears were the release of the long-suppressed emotions in his heart, the venting of his longing, longing and grievance for his mother. His cry was full of pain and sorrow, as if a child lost in the dark finally found his way home.
His body trembled slightly, like a wronged child seeking comfort and shelter in his mother's arms.
"Mom, I thought I would never see you again." Ace's words were filled with endless attachment and fear. His voice was trembling, and every word was filled with his deep longing for his mother.
Ace's tears kept flowing, as if he wanted to release all the pain and longing in tears. He tightly grasped Lu Jiu's clothes, as if that was his last support in life.
Lu Jiu looked at Ace in her arms tenderly, her heart full of pity. Her eyes were full of love and heartache, as if she was looking at a precious treasure.
She gently stroked Ace's hair, the movement was soft and delicate, as if she was stroking the softest silk in the world.
Her eyes were full of guilt, she knew she had missed Ace's growth and had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. Her heart was full of self-blame and regret, but also full of love and concern for Ace.
"My child, mother misses you too." Lu Jiu's voice was soft and warm, as if it could melt everything.
Her eyes revealed a deep regret, which was like the water in a deep lake, filled with an inextinguishable sorrow.
"Mom regrets not participating in your growth." Lu Jiu's voice trembled slightly, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight.
Her eyes were fixed on Ace, trying to find the missed years in his face.
Her heart was filled with regret. Imagining all the difficulties and challenges Ace had to go through in the days without her, her heart ached as if it were being gnawed by millions of ants.
There was a hint of self-blame in Lu Jiu's words, and that self-blame was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into her heart.
She knew that she had missed many important moments in Ace's life, such as the first time he walked, the first time he spoke, the helplessness when he was first injured... How she wished that time could go back so that she could be by Ace's side and witness every moment of his growth.
Her eyes revealed endless guilt, as if she was a negligent mother who had not fulfilled her due responsibilities.
Roger also walked slowly to Lu Jiu's side. His steps were heavy and slow, as if every step carried endless guilt and regret.
His figure seemed somewhat lonely in the sunlight. The former Pirate King now looked like an ordinary father, full of helplessness and self-blame.
His footsteps dragged, and the friction between the soles of his shoes and the ground seemed to tell of his inner pain. Every step seemed to cross an insurmountable gap, which was the distance between him and his family due to years and choices.
Roger looked at Lu Jiu and Ace, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Roger's lips trembled slightly, as if thousands of words were surging in his heart, but those words seemed to be tangled in a mess and he couldn't make sense of them.
There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, with guilt, regret and love intertwined together, making his heart as restless as a turbulent sea.
In the end, he just stood there silently, expressing his apology and love with his eyes.
His eyes were gentle and deep as he stared at Lu Jiu and Ace, as if he wanted to tell them with silent language how much he regretted his past choice and how much he cherished their current reunion.
His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that they could feel his sincerity and forgive his past mistakes.
The others looked at the family of three and were sincerely happy for Ace. Their eyes were full of blessings and relief, as if they saw a bright future.
Everyone's faces were filled with warm smiles, which were like the sunshine in spring, illuminating the entire space. They watched this warm scene quietly, and their hearts were filled with emotion.
They knew that Ace had gone through so much hardship and setbacks, and now he was finally able to be reunited with his family. This was such a hard-earned happiness.
There was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, as if they were praying for Ace and his family, hoping that they would always be happy.
