From the moment Seraphina and Andrea met, both curious about each other, to doubting their relationship, and then to confirming it yesterday, they've never really had a deep conversation.
Even yesterday, after getting the report, Seraphina hurried off without a moment's pause.
But today, when they met again, Andrea said to her, "You're my sister."
Seraphina couldn't describe how she felt.
She was used to being alone, always surrounded by people who seemed to be there for her, but in reality, they had no blood ties with her, like Sandra, like her grandfather.
But now, there was suddenly someone in the world who shared her blood and called her sister.
In an instant, Seraphina felt the hairs on her body stand on end, not knowing how to react.
Andrea seemed to notice her discomfort and just smiled lightly, "Hope I didn't make you feel awkward."
Coming back to her senses, Seraphina took a deep breath and started to laugh, "Actually, I adapt pretty fast. Just give me a little more time and I'll be fine."
After she said that, Andrea just nodded and didn't say anything else.
There was a moment of silence between them, and after a while, Andrea finally broke the silence, "Do you want to meet our father?"
Seraphina laughed lightly, "At the moment, I'm not really interested in meeting him."
Andrea lowered her head and said, "I know that apart from being related by blood, you have no emotional ties with him. Meeting him now might be a bit awkward."
"Do you think he knows about my background?" Seraphina suddenly asked.
After a pause, Andrea replied, "At first, I thought the reason he treated you differently was because he knew you were his daughter. But then I realized that if he knew you were his daughter, he wouldn't have ignored you. That's not his style. So there's a good chance he knows you're mom's daughter, but he doesn't know you're his daughter. The reason he treats you differently is because of mom. You do look a lot like her."
After hearing Andrea's words, Seraphina fell into a deep thought.
Magdalen thought she was Carney and Adelina's daughter, as did Simon. So where did things go wrong?
After Andrea finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out her wallet and took out a photograph to give to Seraphina.
It was an old photo of a young woman holding a baby in a photo studio, looking at the camera with a smile.
The woman in the photo had gentle features and was beautiful.
It was only after seeing the photo that Seraphina realized where she and Andrea got their similar eyes from.
"Is this a photo of you when you were a baby?" Seraphina asked.
Andrea nodded, "Compared to me, you look more like mom. No wonder dad treated you differently. I guess he must have really loved mom."
Seraphina held the photo in her hand, looking at it over and over again, before looking up at Andrea again, "How's life in the Martin family?"
Andrea shrugged slightly, "I'm thinking about jumping ship. What do you think?"
Hearing her answer, Seraphina couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't hard to imagine.
While Seraphina had Carney and Magdalen to dote on her in her childhood, Andrea was brought back to the Martin family as an illegitimate child, right in front of Simon's new wife.
For many years, Simon and his wife Helena had no children, only Andrea. It was clear that their relationship was not good.
In such a family environment, it's probably not easy for Andrea to have grown up safely.
When they started talking about their childhood, the conversation between them finally got going.
