Chapter 85 The Truth At Last

• Logan shook his head. He didn’t want to think that Serena’s actions had been justified. There was no way he could accept that! “The truth is, Logan, by the time I could tell you the truth, it was already too late,” she said. “You didn’t want to know the truth. You never even wanted kids. Remember telling me that in the maternity ward? You said you weren’t ready.” “It doesn’t matter what I said,” Logan argued. “The point is, I had the right to know the truth.” “Maybe you did,” Serena said, shaking her head. “In the long run, it only would have hurt Olivia and Oliver. If you love them at all, as a father or as a friend, you wouldn’t demand knowing the truth when you know it could hurt them.” Logan snarled, shaking his head. He leaned back against the wall of the tree house. It seemed so frail now that he was sober. He couldn’t remember why he had thought that the treehouse was a good place to take Serena when they had been partying together.
• So long ago. It wasn’t just the alcohol that had taken his memories. It was time. Time had compromised how he viewed that night. Time and so many little changes in between. He felt like he had grown up so much since then, but the emotional impact was still so raw. “We can’t change the past,” Serena said. “I wouldn’t change it if I could.” “Why not?” Logan asked her. She shrugged.
• “I love my kids. I love my career and who I have become,” she said. “I wouldn’t be any of that, nor would my kids, if I had done anything differently.” “It is easy to say that now, but you also can’t know what things would have been like,” Logan reminded her. “It is also easy to say that you would have wanted to be there, that knowing would be better,” she pointed out. “You were struggling with becoming Alpha, you had problems of your own. Would you really have wanted to raise kids along with all that?” Logan scoffed, looking away from Serena. Her questioning eyes were too much for him.
