Chapter 160


    After hearing that, Adrian shed tears. “I didn’t expect Grace to still remember me. That ident wasn’t


    just a coincidence, because..” His voice suddenly choked up because he was the one who caused the


    ident


    “Adrian, what are you talking about?”


    “Ms. Zimmer, follow me.”


    Adrian led Allison to a residential building that was about to be demolished.


    Allison could not have imagined that Northfield still had ces like this. The ground was covered with


    moss, making it very slippery to walk on. The air was filled with dense humidity, and overhead were


    countless power lines. The smell ofundry detergent permeated the air.


    Adrian lived here. He walked to a red iron gate, opened it, and said, “Come in, miss.”


    Adrian’s home was very simple. The living room only had a bed, a sofa, a table, and a few baskets on


    the floor. The air was filled with the musty smell of


    aging


    1 knew your mother a long time ago.”


    As Adrian spoke, he seemed to be lost in deep memories.


    “We met in middle school. She was beautiful, gentle, and academically excellent. She was the focus of


    the ss, and almost everyone in the school liked her, including me. We were in the same ss in


    middle school, high school, and all the way until college. Her grades were always better than mine. She


    went to a very good university, and I, not so good in studies, was driving cars. I often visited her during


    my breaks. She was even more beautiful in college and had more suitors, so I never dared to fantasize.


    Later, she got a boyfriend, a very handsome guy. I was happy for her.”


    Adrian looked at Allison, “That guy was Christopher.”


    Allison was surprised.


    Mr. nagan was my mother’s boyfriend in college?


    Seeing her reaction, Adrian realized that Grace hadn’t told her about it.


    *Back then, Christopher and Grace were the perfect couple. When she got a boyfriend, I stopped


    bothering her. Many yearster, I became friends with many people because of my driving. One of


    them delivered goods to Christopher’spany. One day, I went with him and saw Christopher and


    Leah together They looked very intimate. I asked around and found out they were married. Didn’t your


    mother tell you that she and Leah are cousins?”


    Allison’s mind was in chaos.


    My mother and Leah are cousins?


    “Back then, I held a little hope. If Grace wasn’t married or with Christopher, I might have still had a


    chance. I searched everywhere for her. After asking around, I finally found out Grace was the


    housekeeper of the nagan family and had already married. Her husband was a driver for the


    nagan family and also Connor nagan’s adoptive son. I thought to myself, maybe there really was


    no fate between your mother and me. I just hoped she could have a better life. Christopher should have


    been your mother’s boyfriend, but he ended up with Leah. That was a betrayal, he was a despicable


    man, so I’ve always looked down on him”


    Allison lowered her head and fell into deep thought.


    In the nagan family, Leah had always been finding ways to trouble them. So, this was the reason.


    Biting her lip, Allison asked, “Adrian, what happened next?”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
