Chapter 117 Logan Told Adeline the Truth
There was a silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Logan's slightly heavy voice came through.
"Are you sure?"
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. "Brother... I..."
"You don't need to speculate it. Recently, our mom and Adeline have been acting strange, and I knew something was wrong between them, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."
Olivia felt her heart sink deeper and deeper.
Her thoughts were more progressive, and she always believed that fertility did not define a woman's worth. Hearing her older brother say this, she felt somewhat disappointed.
"Brother, do you really care about this issue?"
"Olivia, I won't give up on Adeline just because she can't conceive, but marriage is not as simple as you think. There are many factors to consider, especially for a prominent family like us. Now, I'm asking you, are you sure about this matter?"
"Yes, I saw the medical report," Olivia responded.
"Good, Olivia, don't get involved in this matter anymore. I'll handle it."
Olivia wanted to ask how did he plan to handle it but Logan hung up the phone before she could ask.
Feeling frustrated and upset, Olivia didn't call back.
When she returned to the Bay Hall apartment, Adeline and Curtis were resting in their respective rooms.
Staring at the two closed doors, Olivia recalled her mother's words and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She felt sorry for Adeline, being used as a pawn and pushed onto her Uncle Curtis' bed, only to be denied the promises she deserved.
Olivia didn't know how to face Adeline, so she quietly retreated to her own room.
The next day, Adeline went to work as usual.
During her lunch break, a stranger in her late twenties found her in her office.
"Hello, are you Adeline, the literature teacher for Class C?" The woman asked.
Adeline nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Can we talk for a moment?" The woman had a gentle appearance and spoke with a soft and polite voice, making it hard to refuse her.
Adeline thought she was a parent and glanced at her watch before asking, "Can we go to the coffee shop across the school?"
"Sure."
