Chapter 387


    Aiden at least had the decency to return her smile, but Alex went straight for the jugr. “Why’d you


    make my mom leave? I hate you!”


    “Alex, sweetie, your mom’s departure wasn’t my doing.” Leah tried to defend herself. She needed to


    prevent any unexpected surprises that could jeopardize her ns.


    “Then exin why my parents started arguing the moment you showed up!”


    “I have no clue, and for the record, I’m not with your father.” Leah’s face fell into a sorrowful expression.


    “I genuinely like you and Aiden. I’m helping you guys without expecting any gratitude, but it’s not fair to


    me me for things I didn’t do.”


    “My brother didn’t mean that. Don’t take it to heart.” Aiden quickly shot Alex a look, hinting for him to


    hold his tongue. It wouldn’t help to stir the pot now.


    Alex didn’t care. He stormed over to the hospital bed, pointing an using finger at Leah. “You


    impersonated my mom! Are you trying to take her ce now? I’ll tell you what, I’d rather drop dead


    than call you mom!”


    “I didn’t! I swear I didn’t!” Leah’s eyes welled up with tears. She was now looking quite pitiful. “You guys


    are misunderstanding me. I never wanted to rece your mom. Aiden, you know that, right? It was Mr.


    Milburn who begged me to help. Otherwise, your father would’ve taken you back, separating you from


    your mom. I tricked your dad to save your mom. It’s unfair to me me, especially after I just saved


    you guys. Why else would I be lying here if not for your safety?”


    Aiden quickly pulled his brother back to his chair. “Don’t mind. He’s just shooting his mouth off. You


    know how he grew up with our mom; they relied on each other. She means the world to him. He hasn’tContent ? N?velDrama.Org.


    seen her for a while, so he’s a bit on edge. Please don’t take it personally. I apologize on his behalf.”


    Just as Aiden was about to bow in apology, Leah stopped him. There’s no need for that. It’s enough, as


    long as you understand. I’d hate for my intentions to be misinterpreted.”


    Aiden smiled, then asked Leah pointedly, “Do you know what happened between my parents? They


    haven’t beening home togethertely. They used to walk home hand in hand after work. They’d lift


    Alex up in their arms and then give me a kiss. We miss her.”


    Leah stared at the ceiling and then sighed. “You are still young. I understand why your grandparents


    and parents might want to keep you in the dark, but they should know you’re growing up. You deserve


    to know the truth. Your parents are divorced because your mother fell in love with another man.”
