Chapter 534

However, Juanita hadn’t anticipated that Lindsey already had a boyfriend, one she was deeply in love with, sparking Juanita’s curiosity about this mysterious partner.

“Ms.

Lopez, you’ve been close with my mother for many years.

Could you tell me why she passed away?” Sumner appeared to have caught a lifeline just as he was about to be overwhelmed and was eager to learn more about his mother.

Juanita, however, remained silent while Ruby’s eyes brimmed with tears at the other end of the table.

Before leaping from the building, Everleigh wrote a farewell letter, wishing that those left behind would safeguard the reasons for her demise and her complicated relationship with Brady, concealing them from Sumner.

She hoped for her child to live a joyful life and grow strong and healthy.

She didn’t want her son to carry the burden of her death or hold any resentment towards his father.

It was a decision she made on her own.

Therefore, whether it was Juanita, Ruby, or Paige, they never revealed the cause of Everleigh’s death to Sumner, merely hinting at an unfortunate accident.

After a lengthy silence, Juanita finally spoke.

“Sumner, all you need to know is that your mother’s greatest wish was for you to be happy.

”

Sumner felt heavy in his heart.

Why did everybody keep quiet about anything concerning his mother?

Would he find happiness living in ignorance forever?

He longed for nothing but the truth!

Sumner rose to his feet and softly spoke, “Ms.

Garcia, Ms.

Lopez, Nelson.

I just remembered I’ve got something else to attend to, so I’ll head out now.

”

With those words, he wore a courteous smile, turned, and exited the room.

“Sumner!” Juanita called out to him.

Sumner hesitated for a moment.

Then Juanita’s question reached him from behind.

“What are your thoughts on the engagement with Linds… Do you have feelings for her?”

With his lips pressed together tightly, Sumner didn’t turn to face them.

In a quiet voice, he said, “Linds and I are just friends.

I respect her decisions.

”

He then swung open the balcony door and exited.

Juanita stumbled backward, visibly shaken.

Leonel approached and helped her from behind.

He sighed and said, “Mom, you’re rushing things.

It seems like they’re not really into each other now.

I’m afraid their engagement…”

“Leonel, I trust my instincts.

” Juanita halted, pivoted, and met her son’s gaze.

“I’m convinced that Sumner has feelings for Linds.

As for Linds, I’ll work on gradually changing her mind.

”

Ruby rose to her feet and gently shook her head.

“We shouldn’t interfere in their relationship.

”

“No, I can’t accept that!” Juanita raised her voice, a rare show of emotion in front of Ruby.

She was visibly trembling.
