Chapter 1059 Making A Confession About Her Past


    "What happened next? Did you profess your love for him?" Melissa hastily asked Le.


    With a weak smile, Le replied in a sad voice, "Actually no. In the end I couldn''t gather enough


    courage to do it."


    With a deep mncholic sigh, Le revealed more details. "The reason I had the opportunity to work


    as his secretary was because that woman introduced me to him. She was my friend as well as my


    benefactor. I truly couldn''t bear to be her enemy if I were topete for his heart. So in the end, I just


    didn''t have enough courage."


    "So what happened then?" Melissa prompted, her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.


    Melissa guessed something must have happened; otherwise Le wouldn''t be in prison now.


    "Later…" Le paused to gather her thoughts before continuing, "Later I found out that there was


    actually no love between him and that girl. Their rtionship started by ident, which made me think


    there might be hope for me after all."


    Smiling softly to herself, Le continued, "So I tried my best to do whatever he instructed me to do just


    to get his praise and catch his attention. I chose to work by his side silently and not reveal my true


    feelings for him because I didn''t want to trouble him," Le said quietly. There was sadness in her voice


    and it was clear that this had been difficult for her.


    "Didn''t he notice your infatuation at all?" Melissa asked in confusion. Although men''s sense of affection


    was less sensitive than women''s, it was hard to imagine that this man wouldn''t catch on to Le''s true


    feelings.


    "Maybe he noticed but pretended not to." Le''s weak smile faltered as she continued to exin her


    story. "Later on, I discovered that he had already fallen in love with that girl. She was even pregnant.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    But their happy life together was suddenly cut short when that woman went missing. He nearly went


    mad trying to find her. He searched for her everywhere, but she was just nowhere to be found," Le


    added, shaking her head slowly. ncing over at her Melissa, she continued hesitantly, "I have to


    confess something to you...Right before that woman went missing, I had met up with her. At the time,


    she was experiencing a difficult birth. When she finally gave birth to a beautiful boy, I took him away


    and brought him up until he was three years old."


    Staring at Le in shock, Melissa prompted her to continue. "After three years, I took the boy back. I


    thought maybe if I brought the boy to him, he would fall in love with me and we could start a life


    together." Le paused and looked down at her hands. "But when I saw him, I could tell that he was still


    deeply in love with the woman. He was beside himself with grief. He drank excessively every day and


    he was not the same man I had fallen in love with."


    "Oh, you silly girl…" Melissa sighed pitifully, shaking her head. While it was true that young women in


    love made mistakes, Melissa had never heard anything quite like this.


    "I know what I did was wrong, " Le responded, trying to exin herself. "But at the time, I felt so


    desperate, I really didn''t know what else to do but to take the boy." As Le spoke, she knew how


    inadequate her reasoning sounded, but she continued, "I know it was so selfish and naive, but I just


    thought this would allow me to be with him forever."


    Nodding empathetically, Melissa replied, "So what happened next? Did you get along with the boy?


    How was your rtionship with the man?" Melissa quickly covered her mouth with her hand as if to


    stop herself from asking more questions. She was very curious, but didn''t want to rush Le.


    "That boy…" Le''s voice trailed off. There was a good chance that the boy was the reason she finally


    broke up with Charles.


    Although she raised him, the boy didn''t show any intimacy towards her at all.


    "The boy is extremely mature," Le continued, shaking her head in amazement. "Although he is only


    three years old, he is so smart. He doesn''t even behave like a child." She smiled to herself sadly before


    resuming. "I thought I could be with the man if I returned his child to him, but I didn''t expect that the girl


    who had been missing would suddenly show up again." Le looked down at her hands wistfully.


    "Suddenly show up again?" Melissa repeated, slightly taken aback. "Where had she been the past


    three years? Why didn''t shee back sooner?" Melissa continued to ask, puzzled.


    "Apparently she lost her memory," replied Le. "But the most significant part is that prior to returning


    home she had been another man''s girlfriend. I heard that they had been together for three years!


    Everyone was so happy to see her back home. The man didn''t seem to mind one bit that she had been


    with another man." Le frowned. "He had been showing some interest in me, but once that girl


    reappeared, all of his interest vanished."


    The more Le spoke, the more upset she felt about the whole situation. She looked into Melissa''s


    eyes and couldn''t help but confess, "Sometimes I couldn''t help but wish that she never came back..."


    "Silly girl," Melissa responded, feeling heartbroken for this poor girl. "Love affairs will never satisfy you."


    Nodding her head in agreement, Le replied, "In the beginning I thought that God was being unfair to


    me, putting me through the pain of unrequited love and all that. Butter on, I just gave up. Everyone


    was so relieved to see here home alive, and I felt bad for wishing otherwise.


    And although she had been with another man, Charles Lu didn''t seem to mind, so how could I have the


    right to mind it?" Le said with a bitter smile.


    "Did you say Charles Lu?" Melissa asked, dumbfounded.


    Surprised by Melissa''s odd reaction, Le looked at her in confusion. "Aunt Melissa, what''s wrong with


    you? Why are you reacting so strangely?"


    "Oh, I''m fine," Melissa responded quickly, not realizing how peculiar her reaction was until hearing


    Le''s question. Smiling awkwardly, she said to Le, "The name Charles Lu just seems a little familiar


    for some reason."


    "His family is pretty well known in Y City. Do you know Shining Company? He is the chairman." "Oh, no


    wonder he sounds familiar," Melissa replied, trying to hold back her emotions, before asking more


    questions.


    "So what happened next? What on earth happened?" Taking a deep breath, Le continued,


    "Remember just now I said that I wanted to give up? Well, Sheryl didn''t want to discharge me. Instead,


    after regaining her memory, she used me of harming her. And of course, Charles believed her


    wholeheartedly. I tried to exin myself, but he refused to believe me. And so I was charged and now


    I''m in this jail."


    "I know why Sheryl did this to me. She wanted to be with Charles again because of his money. My


    existence must have posed a threat to her devious n, so she got rid of me," Le added, her eyes


    darkened with resentment.


    "Now here I am," she grumbled. "I''ve lost both my son and boyfriend, and I have to stay in this dark


    ce for three years…"


    "Didn''t Charles show you nopassion?" Melissa inquired with narrowed brows.


    "He was trying to please that woman and showed me no empathy. He would do even worse things to


    me if she asked him," Le replied, curving her lips into a sardonic smile.
