“Mom, is Shyla never going to leave again in the future? I don’t want ther to go back to uncle”
Chapter 20
Did the two sisters meet Calvin when they went out today? No wonder they came back so late.
Ariella’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.
Lara blurted out everything that had happened in the morning
When it came to the matter of falling into the water, Ariella was terrified and filled with fear
Later, when it came to lunchtime, Lara couldn’t recall the exact words, so she only mentioned one or two sentences that she remembered, emphasizing Calvin’s expression while speaking
When Calvin asked Shyla if she didn’t want to see him anymore, it seemed like he was about to cry. He also mentioned something about being ten years older and not having any blood relation. In the end, Shyla wished him a happy marriage, and Calvin flipped the table, which was really scary
Although children speak without reservation, Lara’s words completely awakened Ariella.
She had always found it strange before, strange why Shyla suddenly agreed to pabroad, strange why Calvin chased after her during the wedding, strange why their manner and tone of speech were so awkward when they talked
Now she finally understands where those uncomfortable points were that made her feel uneasy.
When they talked about each other, they didn’t seem like a “father daughter” pair who relied on each other, but rather like a couple. who fought and broke up.
With the information provided by Lara, she could almost conclude that Shyla and Calvin’s relationship had already exceeded the
boundaries of normal relatives
As soon as this conclusion appeared, a chill ran through Ariella’s heart.
After tucking in her daughter, she got up and went upstairs, knocking on Shyla’s door.
“Shyla, tell me the truth, did you agree to go abroad because Calvin is getting married?–
As Ariella asked this question with a serious expression on her face, Shyla’s body instantly tensed up.
“Ariella, why are you asking about this? Did Lara say something: just now?”
Ariella looked at her quietly, with a worried tone.
“You just need to answer my question, what is your relationship with Calvin?”
Shyla’s eyes flickered with a hint of panic, and she lowered her head, taking a few deep breaths.
“It was the relationship between an uncle and his adopted daughter.”
She spoke the truth.
Because from beginning to end, Calvin never crossed the line and firmly rejected her.
Ariella, however, did not believe.
She took Shyla’s hand and earnestly admonished her.
“Don’t be afraid, I was just worried that you might have taken the wrong path, so I wanted to clarity. You are still young and haven’t experienced many things. I have been through it all, so if there’s anything you can’t figure out, I can help you.”
Listening to Ariella’s words, Shyla’s heart was also moved
She wanted to open up and speak out, but she was afraid of saying something wrong and causing trouble for both the Moran family and the Gutierrez family, so she remained silent.
Ariella knew her temperament well and patiently lectured her with great wisdom.
Shyla finally spoke up when she mentioned her deceased brother and sister in law,
“Calvin was good to me, it was my fault. I was young and foolish, and when I told him I liked him, he scolded me and always wanted to
guide me onto the right path. It was only when he brought his girlfriend back that I realized we could only be family. I was afraid of disturbing his married life, so I agreed to your request.”
Guessing became reality, Ariella felt a mix of emotions in her heart and let out a long sigh.
“Have you let go of him now?”
Shyla nodded obediently, her tone sincere.
I let go, from now on I will only treat him as an uncle, and I will not have any other thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Ariella’s heart finally felt relieved.
