Chapter 109 The Past

Adelaide was wronged by Clarissa time and time again, being called bastard by Clarissa!

Adelaide’s hatred towards Greyson from the beginning had gradually turned into expectations, hoping

that he could tell people all over the world that Adelaide was Greyson’s biological daughter. But

Greyson was unwilling to tell anyone that Adelaide was his biological daughter until he died.

"What?" Adelaide deliberately pretended to be confused.

Hanna took her hand hurriedly and said, "Adelaide, I know that you hate your father for abandoning

your mother. I also know how much hardship you have suffered because of being called the bastard.

But now if you agree to bury your mother and father together, how angry will Flora be when she

knows?"

Hanna and Adelaide were best friends. They know each other’s everything, including some family's

affairs. After hearing Adelaide’s mother’s matters, Hanna deeply felt sorry for Adelaide's mother. What

a perfect woman! It could be seen from the photo that she was noble and elegant. But she was so

stubborn. When she knew that her husband had an affair with another woman, she was so angry that

she passed away.

Adelaide’s father refused to defend for Adelaide, which made Adelaide feel wronged. Hanna also felt

pity and heartache for Adelaide.

However, Greyson clearly wrote in his will that he wanted to be buried next to Adelaide's mother. Under

Adelaide's strong opposition and dissatisfaction, Greyson could only be buried in the same cemetery

as Adelaide’s mother.

Adelaide knew what Hanna meant. Flora also came to her several times, saying that Greyson was her

husband and could not be buried with other women. With the time passed by, everyone forgot that

Flora was a mistress. Flora became Greyson’s legal wife. Adelaide's mother was only Greyson’s ex-

wife. Even the tombstone was just inscribed with Rebecca Houghton's name, not Greyson's beloved

wife.

Adelaide happened to hold the same view with Flora in this matter. She felt that Greyson was not

worthy of her mother. As Greyson’s legal wife, Flora refused to agree with that they could be buried

together.

Adelaide pondered for a long time. Finally, she shook her head. Her mother didn't want to see Greyson.

Even if her mother went to the heaven, she didn't want to see Greyson again. Adelaide would never go

against her mother's meaning, let alone forgave that jerk.

Upon seeing this, Hanna shook her head helplessly. What Adelaide did would only make Flora smug.

Adelaide was stubborn. Her mind couldn’t be changed in a short time. Hanna sighed. The matter

couldn’t be carried so hurry, "All right, we take the shells to see your Mom."

Hanna had always been by Adelaide’s side during the rock bottom in Adelaide’s life. During those days,

Adelaide was so depressed. The only stuff she could talk about was her mother's tombstone. She often

sat there alone and could chat alone for a day.

Adelaide nodded. She packed up some things for visiting her mother. When she went downstairs with

Hanna, Damla happened to be in the kitchen and was busying with something. Adelaide felt that

recruiting a new group of nannies was urgent. But she was afraid that Antonio would be unhappy. So

she could only glare at Damla and sternly reprimand, "The house needs to ventilating. It’s so smelly. If

it’s still smelly when I come back, you will have to leave!"

Adelaide just wanted to scare Damla. After all, Damla had worked in the Baron family for so many

years. Adelaide knew that Antonio would not really want to fire Damla, for old time’s sake.

Adelaide looked back at Damla with some warning in her eyes. Then she turned and held Hanna’s arm

to leave.

Today was not some special day. There were very few people to come to the cemetery. After Adelaide

showed her ID card, the security guards who guarded the cemetery immediately let them in. Then, they

arrived at Rebecca's tomb.

There was already a lot of dust on it. Adelaide calmly took out the broom and swept the tombstone little

by little. Then she knelt in front of the tomb and kotowed a few times. She took out the shells, "Mom, I

come to see you. Hanna is here too!" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hello!" Hanna bowed. Adelaide turned around and leaned on the tombstone. In the early morning of

spring, it was still a little cold. The cold feeling instantly spread to Adelaide's body. But she didn’t seem

to feel it. She just picked one shell up carefully and then put it by the ear to listen to, "Mom, these shells

were all picked up by Antonio and me in the Aegean Sea. Each of them can hear the sound of the

sea."

Rebecca was a very traditional little woman. She was also full of illusions about the future. After

marrying Greyson, she gave birth to her daughter, Adelaide, soon. After that, she focused on her

daughter and cared less about her husband. Then Greyson indulged in dissipation. So there were so

many women who wanted to flirt with Greyson

Rebecca heard the story of the shell from the storybook, and then she told it her daughter. The story

was very old-fashioned. A long, long time ago, when there were no humans in the world, shells already

existed in the sea. The shell was a pure-color species in the ocean. Besides, it had never changed its

original appearance during hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

It was said that when the first group of humans appeared, because shells could collect beautiful

sounds, some people took them back home. No matter it was pattern or color, each one was different.

Early humans didn’t know about decoration. One day, a man picked up a shell. Then he found that

there was sound in this stuff. He felt very strange. After that, one girl picked up the same shell. They

seemed to be destined to meet and love each other for the rest of their lives.

Later, more and more people discovered this miraculous stuff. They began to focus on searching for

shells, hoping that it would bring them a beautiful marriage. Gradually, it formed such a story.

Adelaide’s mother had collected a lot of shells with different colors and patterns at home, but she never

found one which could match her own shell. Adelaide dropped her head. She put the shell on her

chest, then she whispered softly, as if afraid of disturbing someone, "Mom, I have found so many shells

for you again. You can definitely find the same shell that belongs to you."

The shells were scattered all over the ground. But Adelaide showed a bright smile, as if she had gotten

the best treasure in the world.

She seemed to be talking to herself, but it also seemed that she was talking to someone. Sometime,

Adelaide smiled, but sometimes she looked sad. Seeing this scene, Hanna felt so sorry. At this

moment, no matter how she comforted Adelaide, it couldn't give her any strength to be strong.

Every time when Adelaide came to visit her mother, she would be like this. Adelaide told Hanna as long

as she was lying on her mother's tombstone, she couldn't help but think of the stories her mother had

told her and the words her mother had said. When she was a child, she was so naughty. She broke her

father’s red wine which was bought newly. Her mother told her being honest was the most important.

Her mother said that her father would be also very happy as long as she told her father the truth.

Besides, her father didn’t have the heart to punish her.

Adelaide believed her mother's words firmly. So when Greyson returned home, Adelaide held his thigh

and told him that she broke the red wine. But her father said that her attitude was not good. She was

even so happy after she did something wrong. But Adelaide still said that honest children were the

cutest and Dad couldn’t punish her.

Undoubtedly, Adelaide was beaten up by her Dad. At that time, she was just the little girl. So she didn't

know what happened. She cried and told her mother, but her mother just wiped away her tears and

then coaxed her to sleep.
