Chapter 1371 Thomas’s face was still fair and handsome, and even the buzz cut could not hide his youth and elegance. When Ruth looked at him, he quirked his lips at her and said in a gentle voice, “Mom, you’re here.”

Ruth swiped a hand under her nose and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Thomas, how have you been doing here these past few years?”

“Let’s sit down and talk.” He gestured to her. It was very different from his cold and aloof behavior from the past. Now, whether it was his appearance or actions , he was very gentle and mild in temperament.

Ruth sat across from him and stared at him intently. Thomas smiled faintly at her. “I came here of my own violation.” Ruth was stunned.

“I’ve done many things to hurt them. Grandma became a vegetable, Sylvia suffered from depression, and there were many other bad things that I’ve done,” he said calmly. “I wanted to atone for my sins, so | came here.”

If he did not want to be imprisoned , he would have had hundreds of ways to escape a few years ago. Ruth gnashed her teeth in anger. “Y—You — Is Sylvia even worth it? What’s so great about her?” “She’s perfect.”

Ruth was so angry that her chest felt suffocated. “Eleven years ago, if you hadn’t been reluctant to join Carter Corporation to help me, | wouldn‘t have lost to Odell, and we wouldn’t have been separated for so many years! At that time, Odell had no feelings for Sylvia. If we had seized Carter Corporation , Sylvia might have been your wife by now!”
