RedNovelChapter 879: Genuine remorse shone in his eyes as tears streamed down his face.
Brenna, however, questioned his motives. Since returning to the Harper family, Alec had cto her twice- both times to stir up trouble, calling her heartless while refusing to acknowledge his own mistakes, even when he had nowhere else to go. This unexpected run-in with him now seemed like nothing more than another act.

Lilith quickly tugged Brenna a little further away, fearful that Alec might do something reckless and hurt her in his current state.
Alec called out, desperation clear in his voice, "Brenna! I know I failed you. I acted less than human. You sacrificed so much for the Barretts, and I treated you like a machine meant to make money. All of that was my fault. The only thing I want now is your forgiveness." Tears filled his eyes as he gazed up at her, but Brenna remained unchanged. Her face stayed indifferent.
Were his tears wasted? Alec continued, "My only wish is to see you once in a while. I've picked up cooking lately and would love to make you sof my special rib soup. Please, letdo that much for you." A tiny crack of warmth pierced through Brenna's cold exterior. Years spent enduring the Barrett family's indifference and seeing people's true colors had left her guarded.

A nervous laugh escaped Alec. "I only want you to forgive me. I'd like to introduce you..."
Alec gestured toward Seth. "Cover here, Seth. Meet your sister."
Seth, still sulking from not getting his way earlier, remained motionless. Lila, sensing Alec's intentions, gently coaxed her son forward. “Say hello to your sister," she said.
Seth was reluctant to greet Brenna properly until Lila bent down and whispered in his ear, "Her family is very rich."
