Dearest Cindy,
It really grieves my heart when you did not come. I believe this is goodbye?

5th of January 1991, The Ch'ing Monarch Royalty Hall

Extending Invitation to Mr. Seto Lim.

Dear Lim,
I hope you are well my friend. I marrying Cindy is a means of protecting her honor. In addition, both of our families decided that it could be a great alliance between the two countries. Please do not take it to the heart. You left, so what do you expect me to do? Left my only remaining friend in her sorrow to the grave?
Please forgive me.
Sincerely,
Your friend Xander.

My darling Lim,
That night, I did come but I could not find you. I guess I was too late. My father discovered our meeting and he tried his best to prevent me, but Xander helped my escape. However, when I came, you were not there.
The next thing I know is you had left and I am with a child. Things will go wild if people will find out. What do you want me to do?
Xander did everything he could to save me and your child from public disgrace.
I will not expect you to forgive me, but please do not hate Xander. He really loves you as a brother.
Please be happy.
Love,
Cindy Ch'ing – Waldorf.

Dearest Lim,
I heard from Ericka that you married Nina Yu today. I am happy for you that you are finally living your life.
Can you do me a favor? My father find out that my child is not Xander's but ours. He did not want the boy so Xander and I made a deal with him to have the pregnancy a secret and by the time that the child comes into the world, I will give him to you.
Please take good care of our boy. He is after all our flesh and blood. I safely went into labor the same time you are on your wedding. He is a very healthy baby. I named him Kent-li. Xander will sent him to you anytime that is convenient for your family.
I may not be with him but my heart will always be where he is. I will watch him from afar.
Love,
Cindy Ch'ing – Waldorf

Cindy,
Kent-li boy is a very good child. I tell you, he is a smart and kindhearted kid. With my circumstance however, as a family man, I could not take care of him. It will break Nina's heart. Ericka, however, would love him, as well as her husband Daniel. They always wanted to have a kid. They will bring him to America and he will be a great doctor just like his future parents.
As of Xander, forgiveness will take time. I loved you, as you know and you always have a piece of my heart. I love Nina though, so I will try my best to be a happy man.
Love,
Seto Lim
P. S. I attached Kent-li's photos as a toddler here. Figures out that you miss him.
----------
Dearest Lim,
Xander confessed his love for me today. How could he? He knows my heart very well and it is still you. I could not take it. Can we please meet? I know you are a very busy man with election and all, but please, I need a peace of mind and a piece of your heart. It could be our closure maybe?
Love,
Cindy.
