Chapter 160

After hearing that, Adrian shed tears. “I didn’t expect Grace to still remember me. That accident wasn’t just a coincidence, because..” His voice suddenly choked up because he was the one who caused the accident “Adrian, what are you talking about?”

“Ms. Zimmer, follow me.”

Adrian led Allison to a residential building that was about to be demolished.

Allison could not have imagined that Northfield still had places like this. The ground was covered with moss, making it very slippery to walk on. The air was filled with dense humidity, and overhead were countless power lines. The smell of laundry detergent permeated the air.

Adrian lived here. He walked to a red iron gate, opened it, and said, “Come in, miss.”

Adrian’s home was very simple. The living room only had a bed, a sofa, a table, and a few baskets on the floor. The air was filled with the musty smell of aging 1 knew your mother a long time ago.”

As Adrian spoke, he seemed to be lost in deep memories.

“We met in middle school. She was beautiful, gentle, and academically excellent. She was the focus of the class, and almost everyone in the school liked her, including me. We were in the same class in middle school, high school, and all the way until college. Her grades were always better than mine. She went to a very good university, and I, not so good in studies, was driving cars. I often visited her during my breaks. She was even more beautiful in college and had more suitors, so I never dared to fantasize.

Later, she got a boyfriend, a very handsome guy. I was happy for her.”

Adrian looked at Allison, “That guy was Christopher.”

Allison was surprised.

Mr. Flanagan was my mother’s boyfriend in college?

Seeing her reaction, Adrian realized that Grace hadn’t told her about it.

*Back then, Christopher and Grace were the perfect couple. When she got a boyfriend, I stopped bothering her. Many years later, I became friends with many people because of my driving. One of them delivered goods to Christopher’s company. One day, I went with him and saw Christopher and Leah together They looked very intimate. I asked around and found out they were married. Didn’t your mother tell you that she and Leah are cousins?”

Allison’s mind was in chaos.

My mother and Leah are cousins?

“Back then, I held a little hope. If Grace wasn’t married or with Christopher, I might have still had a chance. I searched everywhere for her. After asking around, I finally found out Grace was the housekeeper of the Flanagan family and had already married. Her husband was a driver for the Flanagan family and also Connor Flanagan’s adoptive son. I thought to myself, maybe there really was no fate between your mother and me. I just hoped she could have a better life. Christopher should have been your mother’s boyfriend, but he ended up with Leah. That was a betrayal, he was a despicable man, so I’ve always looked down on him”

Allison lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

In the Flanagan family, Leah had always been finding ways to trouble them. So, this was the reason.

Biting her lip, Allison asked, “Adrian, what happened next?”
