One week passed, and Eric suddenly disappeared with the reason of a business visit. The man didn't say goodbye to Cassandra, making the girl wonder what the problem was, so Eric seemed to be avoiding her."Eric, where are you? I miss you." Cassandra muttered weakly. She supported her face and sat in her work chair during lunchtime."Casey," Sally came over to Cassandra at John's request. John felt sorry to see Cassandra not enthusiastic about her work."Sally," Cassandra stood up and hugged Sally's body tightly. She then cried because she remembered Eric ignoring her."Hey, what's wrong?" Sally patted Cassandra's back.Cassandra just sobbed to express her anxiety."Okay, cry it out," Sally gave Cassandra time to share her sadness."Are you feeling better now?" Sally asked when Cassandra opened her arms."Sorry, I made your suit wet." Cassandra smiled slightly as she wiped her tears."Oh, that's okay. I can ask Mr. Williams for compensation."Sally's joke could have been better timed. T

"Honey, aren't you awake yet?" Matilda opened the door to Cassandra's room. She felt suspicious because since her return one week ago, the girl had locked herself in her room, and her face looked gloomy.Matilda thought she wouldn't bother Cassandra. She wanted to give the girl time to be alone so that her mind would be calmer. But more than a week later, the girl was still slumped in her sadness. Enough, Matilda couldn't wait any longer. For her, Cassandra was considered to be her biological daughter. She really cared about her nephew's happiness.Cassandra just stretched a little and then closed her eyes again."Casey, honey." Matilda sat on Cassandra's bed and stroked the girl's long hair."If you have a problem, talk to your mother. Mommy would be sad if you couldn't share your sadness with me.""Mom," Cassandra's voice sounded hoarse. Her eyes were puffy, and her face looked pale."Drink this milk and then tell me, what is the problem that makes you like this?"Cassandra got up fr

"Eric," Rossy and Cassandra called Eric's name at the same time."Oh, this is a man named Eric? The man who made my daughter down and sad." Matilda stared at Eric sharply."Mom, don't blame Eric. We're over, it's not Eric's fault." Cassandra approached Matilda and hugged her from behind."You stupid grandson," cursed Rossy at Eric. She then grabbed Eric's hand. "Follow me."But before leaving Cassandra's house, Rossy stopped in her tracks. "Dear Casey, let Grandma take care of your lover. Don't worry, everything will be fine.""Mrs. Mckenzie, please don't misunderstand. Sometimes young people have a bit of a mess in their brains. Excuse me, Madam." Rossy dragged Eric's hand.A moment later, leaving Cassandra's house."Grandma, what are you...""Slap!" Rossy slapped Eric's face. "Go in," Rossy pointed to her car.Eric didn't dare to argue. Rossy is the only family he still has. Rossy's service was huge for him. After the death of his parents, Rossy acted as Eric's father and mother. Ros

Matilda was silent; she didn't expect Cassandra to finally ask about this secret. A secret she had kept for twenty-one years."Mom, tell me. Is it true that I'm not your biological daughter? Then who is my real mother? Is it true that my mother seduced a married man and made the man's marriage fall apart. Is it true that the man's wife had an accident because she was stressed by their divorce? Is it true ….""Casey, darling. What did you say?" Matilda became even more confused because she didn't just ask about her biological mother. But Cassandra also asked something she never expected. Brenda has a relationship with someone's husband? When did that happen? Matilda really didn't know. But Matilda's mind remembers an incident decades ago when Brenda gave her a lot of money before her death. Even Brenda left a lot of legacy. Even though Brenda is a single woman without a husband. Brenda was also in debt to a loan shark because she had to treat her husband for kidney failure. However, in

A few hours ago."Listen carefully, Eric. I'm going to tell you a secret about your father that you didn't know that made your life as messy as it is now. Don't interrupt Grandma. Sit down and listen." Rossy pointed to the sofa in front of her.Eric complied with Rossy's request. He sat down to listen to his grandmother's explanation."Actually, your father never had an affair.""But …." Eric interrupted."Shut up, don't interrupt!""Sorry, Grandma." Eric held his mouth so as not to interrupt Rossy's story."Do you know what caused your father to die?"Eric shrugged his shoulders, as he remembered his father died mysteriously after his mother's death. Eric thought it was karma for his father for betraying a wife as good as his mother."Actually your father died of leukemia."Eric twitched his mouth. But he didn't make a sound because he saw Rossy's hand signaling him to be quiet."Your father has tried to get treatment, but he hasn't been able to recover. In fact, his condition is gett
