Eleanor suddenly stopped talking halfway through her sentence.
She then flashed a smile. “Say, do you want to wavesh og with me?”
Sebastian was confused
In the inpatient ward upstairs, frenda sat bereide the hospital bed, looking at Maurice with concern.
“Mo, how are you feeling 1only managed to come now because work’s been keeping mebusy ”
Maurice gave her a gentle smile. “Tai feeling much better. I can already walk. Bren, thank you for coming here these past few days.”
Trenda leaned into him, snuggling against his arm, ““You’re my husband. Taking care of you is my duty as a wife. As long as you get better soon, I’ll be happy.”
Maurice loved when women depended on him, and Brenda knew it well. So, she always acted fragile and helpless in front of him.
Maurice was instantly moved. It was late at night, and the memory of their last time together stillingered. He brushed his hand over Brenda’s cheek, lowering his head to kiss her
“But I’m sorry, Ma” Brenda suddenly said.
Why are you apologizing out of nowhere?” Maurice asked, still feeling touched
Brenda bit her lip, looking guilty. “The other day, Mallory came over to our place. I was busy packing your things for the hospital, so I left her on her own. I didn’t think she’d go through our draws and find the hospital record of Ella’s surgery. She stole it”
Marie’s face darkened instantly. “What did you say? She took that record? She didn’t make it public, did she?”
Brenda averted her gaze. “I already reprimanded her. She never got along with Elle back in high school. When she saw that hospital record, she thought it would be a good way to teach Elle a leon. So, she revealed it at her birthday party”
she already made it public? Maurice immediately reached for his phone, unable to imagine what kind of backlash Fleanor might be facing. He had never wanted to destroy her like this! Brenda hadn’t expected Maurice to react so strongly. She quickly added, “B–But Elle denied it, and everyone believed her. It didn’t case any damage to her at all.”
Maurice let out a breath of relief at first, but then anger flared in him at the thought of Eleanor denying it.
“That smooth–talker Leder way out again!” he thought.
“It’s a good thing Elle is affected Otherwise, I’d feel terrible. But still, how could Elle have ever had a child? Mo, where did that document ever
even come from? Frenda asked cautiously. Maurice’s emotions had been on a roller coaster in the span of a few minutes. He fell silent for a moment bedre saying coolly, “It’s nothing, Bren. I’m tired. I want to sleep. You should go
A dangerous glint flashed through Brenda’s eyes. She had suspected in her past life that Maurice had some lingering feelings for Eleanor Now, she was certain about it.
He had bald onto such a massive secer about Eleanor, yet he never exposed it, even when she crushed him in their previous life. If Benda hadn’t opened that draws and accidentally seen
that day, she never would have known Eleanor had such a pasi.
Even Maurice had fallen for Eleanor. He was just another one of her admired
Brenda’s heart burned with hatred.
Maurice had ruined her in her past Ede. No matter what, he had to be herst
She clutched Maurice’s clothes, tears welling in her eyes. “Mu, are you mad at me? I’m so sorry. From now on, I’ll keep a closer watch on my friends. I won’t ever let them rummage through our home again. 1–I’ll apologize to ERs. This is all my fault ”
She turned, acting as it she wanted to leav
Maurice had always been weak against her tears. He quickly grabbed her and softened his tone. “Bren, it’s not your fault, I know what Mallory is like. She’s out of control. No one can rein her Brenda continued crying Maurice licked his lips and finally said, “That document was sent to me by court seven years ago.”
