Chapter 40


    Simon was not wee in front of the two sisters. He was embarrassed for a moment.


    Alice could not bear to see his expression, but when she reminded herself that Simon had married her


    older sister, Alice instantly hardened her heart.

    Simon had done such ridiculous and heartless things that did not deserve any sympathy.


    Grace did not want to be around Marry anymore, so Alice followed suit. Despite having two sisters,


    Alice was not as close to Marry, as she was to Grace. She and Grace shared the same world views.


    "Grace, Alice, regardless of everything, I am still your sister''s husband, we are still friends." Simon said


    softly, "I thought that since we haven''t seen each other for so many years, you would not that hate me


    on ount of our friendship. It seems that I was wrong."


    Both Grace and Alice were stunned.


    Grace understood that since this mistake that fateful night, the rtionship between Simon and her had


    ended, and she had to keep a distance from him in the future.


    Grace pursed her lips and said, "You are now our brother-inw. At least, it''s reasonable to keep some


    distance."


    Simon was stunned. After a long time, he said,


    "I''m leaving."


    Leaving just this sentence behind, Simon left in a hurry.


    The door closed behind him.


    Grace sat on the sofa for a long time without moving. She looked powerless and tired.


    Alice looked at Grace worriedly. "Sis, are you okay?"


    Grace came to her senses and looked into her little sister''s worried eyes. She parted her lips and said,


    "I expected that I would meet them again when I came back to live in Northern City, but I didn''t expect


    that it woulde so soon and I was caught unprepared. I thought of my other child who died so


    young when I saw Simon."


    Hearing this, Alice''s face was full of guilt and apology. "It''s my fault. I must have identally allowed


    him to follow me here."


    "Since we have returned, it would mean that we will meet each other sooner orter. Simon might have


    identally seen you, so he followed you." Grace did not me her little sister. "Sit down and eat first."


    Alice knew that her sister did not me her, and she felt even more sorry in her heart. "Grace, you


    should stop thinking about the past."


    "I can''t help it." Grace sighed. "That was my child. How good would it be if he could have grown up with


    Gary?"


    "How nice it would have been if I were there.


    Marry was there, and I always feel that she had something strange on her mind." Alice suddenly took a


    deep breath. "In fact, I have always suspected Marry. I don''t believe what she said. Tell me, do you


    think the child is really gone?"


    "Marry said the child was not fully developed and died as soon as he was born. Marry was afraid that I


    would be sad, so she dealt with the funeral." Grace covered her face with her hands sadly, and her


    voice spewed from the gap between her fingers. "I had done an ultrasound scanning several times.


    The results showed my children were developing well, and they were twins from different eggs. The


    probability of that was much less than twins from the same egg. They have always been well


    developed. How could it have been that one was born deformed and died?"


    "Grace, are you suspecting that Marry lied to you?" Alice looked at her in a daze.


    Grace shook her head in pain. "I don''t know. Simon also said that the child was dead. Simon will not lie


    to me."


    Grace knew that Marry might lie to her because of Simon, but Simon would never lie to her.


    "Grace, you actually me them very much, right?"


    "Alice, I only me them because they didn''t let me see the dead child, especially Simon - he did not


    let me see the child. It was gone just like that. I feel terrible." Grace closed her eyes. Despite all these


    years, tears clung on to her long eyshes.
