The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 383

"Mom..." Allison looked at Grace.

The TV was blaring. Allison could hear the clear dialogues from the TV. She stared at Grace's worn-out face. Her heart pounded a few times before Nicholas Young's face popped into her mind.

"Mom, at work, I met a guy who looks a lot like my brother, about the same age too."

The look on Grace's face was complicated, filled with sadness, guilt, and...

"Mom."

Grace seemed to snap out of her own world. She looked at Allison, "Allie, I failed your brother..." Her tears flowed like a broken faucet, "I was the one who handled his body. He and your dad were crushed by a truck beyond recognition." Recalling that, Grace choked up, "They were unrecognizable."

Seeing her mom in such despair, Allison regretted bringing up the past. She hugged Grace, "Mom, it's all in the past."

It seemed that before she had solid proof, she shouldn't mention this to her mom. She needed to find out if Nicholas really was her brother, or if he had any connection to her brother. Otherwise, she would only stir Grace up for nothing.

Grace's health was already poor; she couldn't handle too much emotional upheaval.

In the evening when Grace had gone to bed, Allison went into the living room, turned off the lights, and left the TV on, while watching an episode of a TV show and continuing to knit her scarf. When she finished one, she tried it on and it seemed to fit well. She decided to keep it for herself. She would knit a new one for Ricky tomorrow.

...

At Nicholas' house.

A black BMW pulled over. Nicholas got out of the car. The butler immediately came over to welcome him.
