Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 204

Like a bolt out of the blue, Yuna and Zoe were struck dumbfounded.

They never imagined that Ablett would switch sides at this moment!

Zoe, furious and frustrated, tried to shake off Ablett's grip, "Old fool, what the hell are you talking about?"

Ablett made no explanation to Zoe, just nonchalantly pushed her away.

She stumbled back a few steps, tripped over her own feet, and fell hard on the ground.

Damn that old man! It was bad enough he betrayed them, but he even physically hurt her!

Zoe, seething with anger, grabbed a coat hanger from the couch and swung it towards Ablett.

But a sob-filled voice stopped her hand midway in the air.

"After Yuna was born, we did have another baby! She was one year younger than Yuna!"

Zoe and Yuna were utterly stunned.

They had another baby after Yuna? And she was a year younger?

What the hell was this man talking about?

The twins she gave birth to were Yuna and Marguerite, they were the same age!

Confused to the extreme, the mother and daughter had no idea what Ablett was trying to say. Before they could recover, his lengthy explanation continued.

"We didn't abandon her. On the contrary, because she was premature and weak, we got her a sapphire necklace because that kind of sapphire is something special and representing good luck in our village. We hoped she would be safe and happy. She grew until she was two years old, just learned how to walk, and then she disappeared! She was lost, not abandoned by us! We looked everywhere for her, but all in vain! Plus, that year, Yuna had a persistent fever when she was three, so we went to the Graceful Light Chapel to get her the same type of necklace.

But someone spread rumors that we abandoned our child and didn't deserve the lucky necklace. We had no choice but to give Yuna the necklace we got for the other child."

Ablett spoke with a sorrowful tone, noticing the man's still cold and skeptical expression.
