The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 460

The look on Grace's face suddenly froze, like she didn't see Allison's question coming. She looked a bit startled, a bit flustered, and she didn't turn away immediately, as if she couldn't bear to look at Allison directly. She stammered, "What are you talking about, Allie? Why would you ask me something like that?"

Allison looked at Grace's face. "Mom, don't you think you're a bit too fond of Penelope? Even when we lived with the Flanagan family, you were always looking after Penelope. And now, we've left the Flanagan's, you don't work for them anymore, so we have nothing to do with them."

"Allie, I just..." Grace didn't expect Allison to pop the question. She tried to explain, but she couldn't find the right words.

Allison sighed, but instead of avoiding the topic as before, she asked, "Mom, am I really your daughter?"

This was a question she'd doubted for a long time. Deep down, she already knew the answer. But she wanted to hear it from Grace herself.

Grace’s face turned an even paler shade, looking quite odd. Her lips moved, her body shook violently, and she looked deep into Allison's eyes as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. A sharp pain shot through her heart. She clutched at her chest, gasping for air and bending over.

Allison immediately went to support her, "Mom, are you okay?"

Grace held onto Allison's hand tightly. "Allie..."

"Mom..." Allison looked at her mother's pale face, guilt and torment filled her heart. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was too impulsive today. You must rest."

"Allie, it's my fault. I'm sorry." Grace held onto Allison's hand tightly. "Allie, please don’t blame me. I'm sorry."
