Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Manu To be fair, Haleigh was treated well after she got married, even better than when she was her aunt. She was provided with the best in terms of food, clothing, and expenses. However, she could never like Haleigh again.

With this in mind. Mariela asked softly, “Julianne, do you know Haleigh?

Julianne pondered for a moment,“Is it the girl who has a good relationship with your mother? I know her, she used to come to our house often before your mother got married. She was your mother’s college classmate, and they had a very good relationship.”

Mariela’s face darkened slightly, “She was my stepmother now,”

Julianne paused, as if recalling something.

A moment later, she said, “I remember before your mother left, Haleigh came to the hospital to see her several times. One time when I went to the hospital to visit your mother, I overheard her saying that after she’s gone, she hopes Haleigh can take care of you. She said she didn’t want you to become a child without a mother’s love. Your fader was also there at the time, and your mother said if your father were to remarry, could only marry Haleigh. She didn’t trust anyone else.”

Mariela didn’t want to spoil the mood, so she temporarily forgot about her sorrows and forced a bright smile, praising Julianne’s cooking skills. Julianne exclaimed, “Marie, you don’t know yet, but Mr. Stark used to come to my place many times before and he would always follow me into the kitchen to watch me cook.”

Upon hearing this, Mariela’s eyes, filled with mist, turned towards Lennon. Her voice had a slight nasal tone as she asked, “Why did you come here to learn cooking?

The man had gentle features and a soft voice,‘I made it for you to eat.

Mariela’s puzzled tone,“Why?”

Lennon slowly turned his head and looked into her beautiful eyes. During the time when Emily passed away, you didn’t eat properly, and I was worried about you.

Speaking of Emily, Julianne also felt sad and let out a sigh.

After a while, Grandma said, “Your mother got married for only a few years when I fell ill. The doctor advised me to rest well and not to overexert myself, so I decided to resign and return to my hometown. Later, when your mother got sick and was hospitalized, I visited her a few times.
