Jade suddenly froze.
Mia didn't push her, extending her hand to take back her phone. But Jade pulled her hand back, subconsciously not wanting to hand over the phone to Mia.
She asked Mia, "When did you find out I was Molly?"
"That day we went to the classroom, I saw how you were, asked you why and you mentioned the scar department. I took you to the hospital to visit Leo who was also hospitalized, secretly took your hair samples to do a DNA test. I'm sorry, Jade, I was suspicious of you from the start when I saw your childhood photos at your house." Mia said.
Thinking about it, Jade hadn't noticed anything unusual at the time.
Leo squatted down on the side, looking at the lake, appearing quite dejected. His brows were furrowed, asking, ”Jade, are you really my aunt?"
Jade turned to look at him. So, she liked him from the start because they were actually family.
"You used to drink up your juice, pee in the bottle and trick grandpa into having it. You ended up getting a spanking from Andre, your butt was swollen and you had to sleep on your stomach. From then on, you never dared to pee in a bottle again." Jade said.
Leo complained, “Geez, only a few people know about that secret.”
"I was the one who exposed you and got you beaten." Jade said.
Leo was furious, "Damn, you betrayed me, I told you to give the bottle to grandpa."
"That's my dad." Jade said.
Just with this one anecdote, Jade had proved her identity.
"And when you were in kindergarten, you were sleepy and didn't want to go to school, so you faked a fever by putting the thermometer in a thermos. But your mom found out when she saw your temperature was skyrocketed but your forehead was normal. In the end, your parents handed you over to Andre." Jade said.
"And then what?" The one curious about the story was definitely Mia. She knew Leo was a troublemaker as a child, but she didn't know he was such a handful. No wonder he was such a pain, he was like this even as a child.
Leo blushed, "Stop talking."
"Keep going, Jade, I want to hear." Mia and Jade sat on a rock, each occupying half of it.
"In the end, Andre brought his blanket to the classroom and let him sleep there. Leo had the maid dress him at the classroom, then went to class. Since then, he never dared to fake being sick to skip school." Jade said.
Mia laughed out loud, "Is there more?"
A smile also appeared on Jade's face, "There is a lot, but my memories are blurred." In the end, a bitter expression appeared on her face.
Leo squatted at the side, looking at the two women sitting side by side.
"You two are peers, and now I've become your junior." Leo complained.
Leo had already been shocked on the way here. Seeing Jade, he just found it unbelievable. He became the nephew of his two good friends?!
Such bad luck, and it happened to him.
"Jade, my grandpa was even planning to make you my girlfriend." Leo said.
Jade was startled, "What?"
Leo said, "My dad thinks I'm not good enough for you."
"He sees it very clearly." Jade agreed to his words.
Leo continued, "My mom really likes you."
"I've been her favorite since I was a child." Jade said.
In Naomi's eyes, Jade was so sweet, gentle, and obedient. Her son always seemed like a naughty child, making her want to discipline him. She always wanted a daughter, and often asked Bruce to help her fulfill this wish. She even considered artificial insemination. But, her wish never came true.
Mia said, "No wonder when I married into the Cedillo family, your mom treated me much better than treated you. If I didn't know our relationship, I would think I was her biological daughter and you were adopted."
Leo said, "You're a girl, that's why my mom likes you. If you were a boy, would my mom like you?"
"If I were a boy, would your uncle marry me?" Mia asked.
