Love Unspoken

Chapter 1453 Zeke shook off the memories and got right to it, "Your mom was my first love, and I was probably hers too." They were high school sweethearts, totally head over heels, but their social classes were worlds apart.

Zeke tried to stand up to his family and convince his dad. Back then, he was young and reckless. Being a rich kid, he had everything except love.

Once people have their basic needs covered, they start looking for emotional fulfillment.

Zeke was a young guy who believed love was everything.

Their relationship faced a ton of pushback. The more obstacles, the stronger their love grew.

In the end, Zeke's dad hid his girlfriend, and no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find her.

Zeke had no choice but to go along with his dad's arranged marriage, which was to Alexander's mom.

A loveless marriage was doomed from the start.

Zeke's dad promised that if he got married, he'd let the girl go. So Zeke gave in, but his dad didn't keep his word. After Zeke got married, the girl vanished from his life.

To make things worse, Zeke's dad used sdrug to force Zeke and his wife to stay together.

Later, Zeke heard the girl had been found, but she was dead.

Zeke's heart died with her, turning him into a shell of a man.

He never knew he had a son out there.

Zeke spoke with deep emotion, and as he recalled his passionate past, a hint of regret crossed his face. Walter listened, clearly annoyed. He wasn't moved; he just thought Zeke was rambling, full of self-pity. Maybe sensing Walter's impatience, Zeke stopped and asked, "So, what's been going on with you all these years?" Walter replied, "She died when I was two, probably murdered. I ended up in an orphanage, but the other kids were too annoying, so I ran away and later met people from the Mellon family." Zeke looked at him blankly and suddenly remembered seeing him at the Mellon family.

But back then, Henry said he was his son. Zeke had so many sons that he didn't think much of it, though he did wonder if Henry had been involved with his first love.

He eventually forgot about it, having only seen him once or twice. At that time, Zeke was constantly fighting with his wife, and his dad was pushing them to have another kid.

He hadn't realized that the familiar-looking kid was actually his son.

They fell silent.

Zeke opened the pocket watch again, staring at the old photo, lost in thought.

The woman in the photo had a ponytail and a radiant smile.

She was really beautiful.

If she weren't beautiful, she wouldn't have caught his eye. Walter inherited his mom's looks, which once captivated Freya.

Back then, Zeke described her as stunningly beautiful.

On the first day of school, Zeke noticed her. With ten percent talent and ninety percent wealth, he beat out all her suitors and stood by her side.

To put it simply, it was love at first sight.

Their feelings deepened, partly because of Zeke's dad's interference, which made him even more convinced she was his true love. But there was no "then." Zeke sighed again, handed the pocket watch to Walter, and looked at him intently. "From now on, you'll be called Walter Lynch." Walter shot him a sideways glance, like he was looking at an idiot.

Zeke felt the sting and his face darkened, slipping back into his usual authoritative mode. "You don't want to?" Walter shrugged, "I heard the Lynch family is in sdeep trouble. I don't want to go down with the ship." "I almost forgot to ask, was it your doing?" Zeke asked.

Walter smirked, "I get it now. No wonder Alexander would rather run away than acknowledge you. Did you grill him like this too?" Zeke replied, "That's not what I meant." "We haven't even acknowledged each other yet, and you're already pointing fingers. If I really did acknowledge you and changed my nto Walter Lynch, wouldn't you just useas a scapegoat like you did with Aron?" Walter shot back, shutting Zeke up.

After a long pause, Zeke spoke weakly, "Fine, I was wrong. If you don't want to, think it over. When you change your mind, we'll talk about it." He wasn't really an idiot. Without clearing his suspicions about Walter, he was afraid of bringing a wolf into the fold.

He had said so much just to play the emotional card.

He didn't know Walter, his abilities, or his intentions.

Everything was to keep Walter in check.

If Walter was indeed behind the Vanguard Enterprises Group incident, and if he did something else, the Lynch family would be doomed.

Walter suddenly laughed. "I've changed my mind. I'll go by Walter Lynch." Zeke was stunned.

He stammered, "It needs careful consideration. You know you m mother, Wait for my messag message. I'll go back and prepare, then find a suitable tto bring you back." Walter said casually, "Whatever." Zeke nodded and stood up. "By the way, you said Alexander ran away?" Walter asked, "You didn't know? He left today. You can try contacting him to see where he is." He was on a plane now, with his phone off. Zeke called twice but couldn't get through.

His face turned very grim.

Walter smirked. Trying to run? No way.

Alexander said, "I don't know what he told you to make you questionlike this. But I was only called here last night and don't know what's going on. Mr. Lynch, can you briefly explain what happened?" His words successfully cleared his own suspicion and left Zeke unsure who was lying. Was it really Walter, or was Alexander using him as a scapegoat? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He decided to stop thinking and walked out.

Zeke said, "Since you just arrived, get srest. I have smatters to attend to. See you later." Walter responded with a hum and didn't try to stop him.

Meanwhile, Alexander and Quinn had arrived at the airport, not heading to Amber Bay but to Sylvadora, Quinn's ΕΠ hometown. After being away for so long, Quinn felt a surge of emotions returning to this land.

She turned to Alexander beside her, a smile on her face. "Why are we here?"
