I nodded and went to the coffee shop with her.
She ordered a cup of milk for me and said, “Drink some hot milk, it will warm you up.”
I took it, expressing my thanks lightly.
She looked at me and said, “Grandma just found out the news and lost control of her emotions, that’s
why she said those things to you. Don’t take it to heart.”
I shook my head, pursed my lips and said, “I’m fine.” I had been worrying about my son for ten years,
with no news at all. Now, I finally got news of him, but it was the news of his death, his body mutilated.
Anyone would feel the same way, I don’t blame others, I only blame myself. If I hadn’t been so
presumptuous, Elliott might not have died.
In the end, Elliott’s death was inextricably linked to me.
Seeing me like this, Emma sighed softly, gently patting my hand and said, “Everything will be alright.
Walter is fine now. The doctor said he will be okay after the anesthesia wears off and he gets some
good rest. Don’t worry too much. As for grandma, once she gets better in a few days, I will talk to her.
Then you can go see Walter again.”
Knowing she meant well, I said, “Thank you.”
She shook her head slightly, looking at me and said, “You don’t have to keep thanking me. You helped
me when I was in trouble before, didn’t you? It’s only right that I don’t stand by when you’re in trouble.
But, Tabatha, what are your plans with Walter? You’ve been away for

so long, you might not know, Marjorie is pregnant, she’s already two months along. Grandma wants her
and Walter to get married as soon as possible and move into the old house. Has Walter mentioned this
to you?”
I had anticipated this outcome long ago, but hearing it firsthand still left a lump in my throat. I shook my
head, my voice hoarse and painful, “He and I are already divorced. He doesn’t need to tell me these
things. Marjorie is quite nice, beautiful and gentle. Their child should be very cute.”
“Tabatha!” Emma exclaimed upon hearing me, “Don’t say such things that go against your heart. I can
clearly see what’s between you and Walter. You obviously love each other, so why say such things? I
don’t know why Walter got Marjorie pregnant, but I know he truly cares for you. Now that you’re back,
you should clarify some things. If it’s a misunderstanding, clear it up while there’s still time and continue
to love each other. Don’t end up like… me.”
Looking at her lonely figure, I paused slightly, thinking of her and William, I couldn’t help but feel sorry
for her. I had been away for these days, not knowing how she and William were doing.
”
Thinking of this, I looked at her and asked, “Are you and your older brother… okay?”
A touch of loneliness tinted her eyes as she gave a bitter smile, “Once people drift apart, it’s hard to
walk together again.”
Hearing her words, I thought they had broken up, and couldn’t help saying, “Sister-in-law, my brother
does care about you. What happened that night might be a misunderstanding. I can tell, he doesn’t
really like Rachel…”
“Tabatha!” She interrupted me, pulling a slight smile, helplessly said, “I’m not like you and Walter,
Rachel is pregnant.”

I was stunned, never expecting it to be so melodramatic. For a moment, I stared at her in disbelief, my
eyes wide open.
She gave a bitter smile and said, “In order to take care of that woman, he temporarily put aside his
work abroad and stayed in the country.”
Hearing such news, I was at a loss for words for a moment, finding it only laughable. How did things
turn out like this, both with Walter and William.
“Hehe!” I couldn’t help but laugh at myself, looking at Emma, “Sister- in-law, so now we are in the same
boat, neither of us should try to persuade the other.”
She shook her head slightly, helplessly saying, “No, Walter and William are different. Perhaps his
relationship with Marjorie is not what we think. Besides, grandma has always been urging him to marry
Marjorie, but Walter has never agreed, which indicates that there must be a misunderstanding.”
Misunderstanding?
I gave a bitter smile, what misunderstanding could there be? Even if it was Ezra’s scheme, Marjorie
was not in his heart. But he touched her, had a child with her, and there was no turning back from all of
this. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
I didn’t know how to tell Emma about what happened on the eve of Chinese New Year. I felt bitter
inside, took a sip of milk, lowered my head, and fell silent.
After chatting with Emma for a while, I returned to the Conner’s place. I wanted to see my mother,
wanted to explain things to her, but she still didn’t want to see me. The one who came to open the door
was still Marjorie.
She was still gentle and beautiful, greeting me with a distant coldness. She just stood at the door, never
moving, clearly, she didn’t want me to
