"Auntie Miranda, I have something to tell you."
Miranda was anxious. Although she was his elder, she was just a nanny in his house. She felt that she couldn't let Isaac kneel down in front of her, and she also felt a little flustered.
"Isaac, just say what you want to say. Why do you kneel down?" As she said this, she stood up and tried to pull him up.
Isaac refused to stand up, "Aunt Miranda, sit down and let me finish my words."
He had so many reasons to kneel down. At least, he would feel better if he knelt down.
"Get up first. How can I let you kneel down in front of me?"
"Mom!"
Miranda's opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She froze there in a daze.
It was a long while before she came back to sense. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "Isaac, what... did you... call me just now?"
Isaac smiled and called her again, "Mom!"
Miranda's hands trembled and she suddenly fell back to the sofa. She was so shocked.
"Mom..."
His voice was no more determined. Instead, there was a sense of guilt and sadness, as well as an endless apology in his tone.
He called Miranda himself, and he also called her mom on behalf of Adele, who couldn't come back anymore.
Miranda sat there stiffly, and even her hands were trembling. However, her eyes were filled with happy tears and a pleasant surprise.
She was Adele's mother, and also a woman who had once been naive and then fell in love and got married. She had always known what Adele was thinking about.
She watched Isaac grow up. Although he was the second son of the Bais, he was not born by Maxwell's legal wife. Isaac suffered a lot when he was a child, and he was almost an unnecessary existence in that family. However, he was born with a good temper. He did not argue with others. He treated people courteously and handled things well. At that time, no one cared about him. She felt distressed for him, and always wanted to be kind to him.
Later, he and Adele became good friends. She was happy because she thought that it was a good thing that Adele could care about him as his younger sister.
She didn't expect that Adele actually fell in love with Isaac after staying with him for a long time.
She had worked in the Bais for so many years, and she knew some rules in the family.
Therefore, when she found that Adele seemed to like Isaac, she persuaded Adele that the difference between their families was too big, and it was impossible for her to be with Isaac. Even if Isaac liked Adele, Old Master Bai would never admit her as his daughter-in-law. Moreover, they did not know whether Isaac really liked Adele or not.
At that time, what did Adele say?
Oh, she said, "Mom, I know, but I can't control myself. I feel happy as long as I look at Isaac. Besides, he doesn't know that I like him. I'll secretly like him. Is this okay? If one day I can really be with him, that's my luck. If I can't, I know the gap between us, and I can also wish him happiness. Maybe I'm just obsessed with him now, and maybe I won't like him in the future."
