Then, she opened her mouth and shouted for the warden outside, “I want to go back now! “
Watching as Cynthal was led away by the warden, Bethan frowned, an ominous premonition surging in her chest Blue Bay Villa.
Brettley leaned on the sofa, looked at the words written on the report, his eyes dark.
“After detailed analysis, the two samples were determined to be penned by the same author…”
A second later, he put down the report, feeling somewhat agitated.
The result of the analysis report, and the doctor’s words in the hospital yesterday…
An answer was crammed in his chest as if it wanted to be released…
It was highly likely… Bethan was Bethan Peterson!
Taking a deep breath, he turned around agitatedly and asked, “Lucas, she’s still at the police station? “
Lucas, who was guarding the entrance, nodded. “The driver said they haven’t come out yet.”
“I’ll go pick her up!”
He stood up agitatedly, took his jacket, and put it on, but before he could take a few steps out, the butler rushed in anxiously.
He ran to Brettley in a panic.
“Sir! It’s Ma’am! Ma’am is back! She’s waiting right outside!”
Brettley’s dark brows furrowed sharply. “What, Ma’am? Who are you referring to?”
“Your wife! Bethan Peterson! She’s back! “
The butler’s words made Brettley startle violently.
He glanced at the butler with disbelieving eyes. “
Come again… who’s back?”
“Brettley, I’m back.”
A woman’s voice rang faintly, clear and crisp.
Brettley frowned, instinctively looking in the direction where the voice came from.
His deep -set eyes paused, pupils shrinking violently.
Bethan Peterson!
That’s right!
The woman in front of him was Bethan Peterson.
He had been dreaming about this face for six years!
Seeing him looking at her in a daze, a hint of self- satisfaction flashed through her eyes.
Then, she cocked her head to the side, and smiled at him. “Why are you looking at me like that, don’t you welcome me?”
“No…”
For the first time, Brettley who was always cold, arrogant, and reserved, felt nervous.
His heart beat wildly in his chest.
After a long moment, he finally sucked in a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, strode toward her, and pulled her into his arms.
“You’re finally home! “
The warmth radiating off his body made a cold smile appear on her lips.
Brettley hugged the woman in his arms and closed his eyes tightly.
So it seemed the similarities between Bethan and Bethan Peterson were mere coincidences, orchestrated by Bethan to attract his attention, to remind him not to forget about Bethan Peterson!
Alas, God helps those who help themselves, his Bethan Peterson, his wife, was finally home!
Agitated, he held onto her tightly.
But somehow, when he was hugging her, she felt like a stranger, it was a feeling he had never felt before.
Was it because they had been apart for too long?
Brettley sucked in a deep breath, and swore internally that he would take good care of her in the future!
“Daddy! “
Upstairs, Nellie, who was wearing a little dress, walked downstairs and immediately saw Brettley hugging a woman tightly in the living room.
As for the identity of the woman, even though she did not see her face, judging from her clothes and the vibe she gave off, it was definitely not Mommy!
The little girl’s face fell.
She stomped down the stairs anxiously and immediately raised her hand to tug at the ends of Brettley’s shirt. “Daddy, what are you doing? Who is she?! “
Hearing his daughter’s voice, Brettley let go of the woman in his arms agitatedly and turned to look at her. “Nellie, look who’s back! “
The little girl frowned, raising her head instinctively.
When she saw the woman, Nellie’s eyes widened and she took a step back unconsciously.
This woman…
She looked exactly the same as what Mommy used to look like!
She rubbed her eyes, then rubbed at them again.
To make sure her eyes were not playing tricks on her. “Nellie, hello.”
The woman smiled and leaned down, reaching her hand out to Nellie gently. “I’m Mommy.” “No, you’re not! “
The little girl shook her head violently and continued retreating, “You’re not my Mommy! Who are you! Why are you dressing up as my Mommy! “
Looking at her hysterical look, the woman sighed faintly, raised her head sadly, and glanced at Brettley. “Brettley, I knew this would happen…”
He realized it too, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter was somewhat off-putting…
He frowned and looked at the little girl. “Nellie, what’s wrong?”
“She’s your biological mother.”
“She’s not! “
The little girl was so agitated she almost burst into tears. “My Mommy doesn’t look like that, she’s not! “
Brettley frowned again, then turned to throw a glance at the woman in front of her. “Lulu, this…”
The woman closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, “I knew this would happen…”
She took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, looking at Nellie sadly. “After I gave birth to my two children Nellie and Neil, my body became so weak and I never had the chance to nurse myself back to health. Then, once, when I was distracted, someone kidnapped my children…”
As she talked, she wiped at her tears. “She was a jewelry designer, I met her in the hospital. In the beginning, she was great to me, I trusted her completely, but I didn’t expect her to…when she found out you were the father of my children, she kidnapped them…”
As she talked, her despair grew and so did her tears. “
All these years, I hid my identity, changed my name to Alice, and searched everywhere for you and the children. I didn’t dare approach you. I was worried you would blame me for losing the children… Up until a short while ago, I saw you openly acknowledge our daughter and I was certain that woman had returned the kids to you. That’s why I came here in a rush…”
Then, she knelt down, looking at Nellie with bloodshot eyes. “My girl, come and give Mommy a hug.”
Nellie glared at her vigilantly. “You’re lying! “
Looking at Nellie’s expression that was filled with animosity, the woman wiped at her tears in despair. “
When the two of you were kidnapped, you were still so young, you couldn’t remember anything. I won’t blame you for not recognizing me…”
