After sticking around for a while, she came up with an excuse to leave.
But as she walked out the door, she ran into Edwin and Laura.
Edwin asked in concern when he saw the anxious look âWhatâs wrong? Why do you look so upset?â on her face.
Elva sighed and said, âItâs the Jones family.
You already know about it, donât you?â
Edwin didnât say anything in response.
But the expression on his face had clearly changed upon her question.
Elva was shocked to see this.
She was still in a state of shock when Edwin quickly walked into the room with his wife, and slammed the door behind them.
After what seemed like an eternity, the astonished Elva finally found her voice and murmured, âOh, my God! This is so messed up!â
Meanwhile, as soon as Edwin walked into the room with Laura, he immediately sensed that something was odd.
It was obvious that Cecilia wanted to talk to him.
But perhaps she was scared that it might affect Oliviaâs mood, so she kept quiet and said nothing.
âMom, itâs exactly as you suspected,â Edwin said, taking the initiative to tell the truth.
This left Cecilia so stunned that she staggered and almost lost her balance.
Laura quickly hurried to help her regain her footing and led her to sit on the sofa.
âMom, please calm down,â she admonished.
âHow about I get you some water?â
As she spoke, she patted Ceciliaâs back gently to calm her down.
Cecilia quickly recovered herself, and looked up at the two of them.
âYou two already knew about it?â she scolded accusingly.
âWhy didnât you inform me sooner? If your father hears about it, he would be furious!â
Frankly, Cecilia could not help but feel sorry for Dylan.
The Wright family had already given all his assets to Olivia and the baby, but now it was revealed that child wasnât even Dylanâs.
Cecilia thought about offering an apology, but she felt it would be too cruel to both Olivia and Dylanâs parents.
Seeing her so silent and thoughtful, Edwin immediately knew what Cecilia was worried about.
He turned to cast a glance at Olivia.
At this point, Olivia burst into tears.
âMom, we didnât mean to hide it from you,â she sobbed.
âI discovered that I was pregnant after Dylan and I were together for about two months.
We didnât want to break up, soâ¦â
No matter how shocked and disappointed Cecilia was, Olivia was still her daughter at the end of the day.
She sat in silence for a long time.
Then she said softly, âDylan is really a good man.
â
There were two things she regretted in life.
One was that she fell in love with the right person in the wrong time while the other one was the death of Dylan.
He was such an excellent young man.
If he had still been alive, she was sure that Olivia would definitely have had a very happy life with him.
Seeing Cecilia so quiet, Olivia became even more upset and pressed Leylaâs face against hers for comfort.
In her heart, she truly considered the child to be Dylanâs.
