Adria could hardly believe his own eyes.
He clearly remembered, a few years ago, he once visited the Walter family in Sea City. He got drunk and started to feel sorry for Hailey.
In his heart, Hailey was always the best candidate to b e Joshua's wife. As his father, he thought even if he never loved and cared about his son, he would listen t o him, listen to their family, and marry Hailey who had been intended to him since they were children.
Instead, Adrian never expected Joshua to reject the marriage once and for all. He even married Luna Gibson who also grew up in Sea City, just to rebel against his family.
In the end, even when Luna Gibson went missing, he still rejected Hailey adamantly. To not be involved with Hailey in any possible manner, he was even willing to get engaged to Aura, Luna's younger sister.
Back then, he was drunk, scolding Joshua as he comforted Hailey, telling her she deserves someone better. That day, Hailey cried, touched by his words.
Her gaze that night left a deep impression on Adrian. Her eyes looked exactly the same as Alice who was standing right in front of him as if they were... one and the same...
Seeing Adrian stare at herself, Alice paused, then
glanced at Adrian with grateful eyes and hurriedly lowered her head.
Adrian stood in his spot, caught in a daze for a long moment before he recovered his wits.
He shook his head.
He must have been so angry his mind was muddled! Hailey was dead. Besides, when she was alive, the person she hated the most was Luna, the woman who married Joshua back then.
Alice Gibson was in fact Luna Gibson, just with a change of names.
