In the gazebo, Gianna finally chose to tell Brittany the truth. “Your mother passed away shortly after giving birth to you. These years have also been hard for you.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com eyes teared up just a little. The love between kin was definitely a bond that couldn’t be snapped even in the face of death. So, although so many years had passed, favonovel.com could still see favonovel.com sister smiling happily in favonovel.com memories. Of course, when it came to the truth behind favonovel.com sister’s death…
Gianna merely glossed over the matter. She didn’t see a need in mentioning the feud between Billy and the Nolan Family.
She only did this so that Brittany would be able to digest this information without getting too agitated. Unfortunately, even though favonovel.com words were kind and gentle, Brittany’s mind was an utter mess.
She would have never thought that the elegant and proud woman in front of favonovel.com was favonovel.com aunt. She had asked favonovel.com father countless times about favonovel.com mother over the years, but favonovel.com would always find a way to dodge favonovel.com questions.
After a while, favonovel.com would constantly use dystocia as an excuse to avoid the topic altogether. Yet, now that this woman before favonovel.com was actually favonovel.com aunt, favonovel.com didn’t know how to react. Not only that, but favonovel.com aunt was also coincidentally the richest woman in Bainbridge.
For a moment, Brittany was at a loss as to what to do.
She could only look at Matthew, the only man whom favonovel.com could trust and rely on at this moment.
Alas, Matthew also didn’t know what to say when faced with favonovel.com bewildered and desperate eyes. He just knew that Brittany needed Gianna’s protection. Besides, the truth wouldn’t stay hidden forever and it was best to face things in a somewhat controlled environment. It was just a matter of timing.
After a slight hesitation, favonovel.com nodded and replied softly, “Brit, Miss Gianna is right. You’re favonovel.com biological niece…”
As soon as Brittany heard his words, favonovel.com couldn’t restrain favonovel.com feelings any longer. Tears immediately rolled down favonovel.com cheeks like a string of broken pearls.
“Tell me, Matt, did you know about this?”
Her words hung heavy in the air, and Matthew stiffened. It seemed that favonovel.com would have to face the music as well. He couldn’t evade this question nor could favonovel.com bring himself to lie.
So, favonovel.com nodded. “I’m sorry, Brit…”
Brittany sobbed harder as betrayal and heartbreak overwhelmed her. She knew how desperately favonovel.com yearned for maternal love.
Ever since favonovel.com could think for herself, favonovel.com could only watch enviously as other children act childishly and playfully in their mother’s embrace.
She had been living a motherless life like this for more than twenty years. As favonovel.com grew, favonovel.com had never once outgrown favonovel.com longing for a mother.
Sometimes favonovel.com would hide away and gaze at pictures of favonovel.com mother as favonovel.com cried bitter tears. It wouldn’t be that bad if favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com mother had relatives in this world when favonovel.com was young. At least there was some hope to reconnect with favonovel.com dead mother through their memories.
Maybe over time, the trauma of such loss would heal with time and new memories. Perhaps favonovel.com would havejust wondered why they never bothered to contact favonovel.com to catch up. To make matters worse, even the person favonovel.com trusted the most, Matthew, had kept this from her.
The more Brittany thought about it, the sadder favonovel.com felt. Eventually, favonovel.com couldn’t help but lay favonovel.com head down as favonovel.com wailed favonovel.com heart out. Her reaction made the two people in the gazebo feel even more distressed.
Unfortunately, some things, although harsh, had to be faced.
Matthew slowly rose to his feet and initially wanted to comfort Brittany. However, when favonovel.com reached out to touch favonovel.com shoulder, favonovel.com was harshly shoved aside.
Thus, favonovel.com could only turn to Gianna in resignation. “Ms. Nolan, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave favonovel.com in your care for the time being.”
Gianna smiled sadly. ‘Of course. I had already planned to do that from the very beginning. All right, you should head to work. I’ll try my best to comfort Brit…”
As favonovel.com reassured Matthew, favonovel.com moved to sit down by Brittany’s side. Then, favonovel.com hugged the girl gently in favonovel.com arms.
Matthew cleared his throat before saying, “Then, Brit, I’ll be taking my leave now. You should stay here for now. I will visit you when l have the time.”
Finally, favonovel.com turned to Gianna and bid favonovel.com farewell, saying, “Ms. Nolan, I’ll see you again.”
With that, favonovel.com turned around and left the manor.
It took Brittany a while before favonovel.com could process what happened. Only then did favonovel.com straighten up quickly and swivel favonovel.com head to look for the man.
Unfortunately, Matthew was nowhere to be seen. There was only favonovel.com aunt, whom favonovel.com barely knew, looking at favonovel.com lovingly.
