**Chapter 076: Ardan’s Sorrow**
Aruna, who had been listening from the beginning, also felt the sadness—Ardan’s sadness at having hurt the uncle who had raised him like his own son.
Aruna sat beside Ardan, who was deep in thought, burdened by what had just happened.
"Uncle must be angry at me... His face earlier, he looked so heartbroken..." Ardan said, his lips trembling.
Aside from looking at her husband, Aruna didn’t know what else to do. She just sat beside him, silent.
"I’ve made so many mistakes with them..." Ardan lamented once more. "Aunt Limah must be crying after hearing about this."
Ardan could clearly sense his wife’s concern as she watched him struggle with the weight of his double life.
"Forgive me..." Ardan said at last, his voice heavy with emotion. "You must be hurt too. You must be sad."
