Even when Dave had broken up with Clark in the past, he had quickly bounced back, throwing himself into running Washington & Co., making it thrive.
But seeing him like this now, Tiffany feared he might not recover this time.
It wasn't that he didn't love Laurent—it was just that he had never truly expressed it.
In that way, he was just like her.
Sometimes, Tiffany wondered: If she had expressed her love more intensely back then, would Daniel have never gone to that woman and her child?
But life didn't offer so many "what-ifs." A mistake was a mistake. Once something was missed, it was simply gone.
Dave let out a bitter laugh.
"Then what do you think I should do? She probably hates me to death right now. She won't even see me..."
He was her son, after all. Even though Tiffany was angry at him for how he had handled things with Clark, she couldn't help but offer him some advice.
