“Are you certain that Millie is Aisha? It's an extraordinary coincidence,” Freyja
exclaimed incredulously upon learning of the connection between Aisha and
Millie. The revelation was hard for her to fathom.
“I wish I were mistaken. All we can do is maintain absolute discretion. We cannot
allow Leon to become aware of this truth. You understand how stubborn he is
about this matter. If he were to uncover it, it could shatter the tranquility of the
Thomas family.”
Both Leon and Marcus were Claudia“s grandsons and integral members of the
Thomas family. Any discord between them stemming from the Millie-Aisha
connection could spell catastrophe.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure lingered just beyond the slightly ajar door-Leon
himself. His acute ears captured every word of their conversation.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
Leon's fists clenched with palpable tension.
The absurdity of it all struck him. Evidently, his grandmother had been privy to
this truth all along, yet she had chosen to keep him in the dark.
With a resounding crash, the door was forcefully shoved open. The cup held
within Claudia’s grasp slipped from her fingers, shattering upon impact as she
was startled by the abrupt entrance of Leon.
Why was she not informed of his return? Did he hear everything? “Grandma,
Marcus, Bruce, and I-you favor Marcus, don't you? Because he’s the better
choice?” Leon's voice dripped with sarcasm as he jeered at Claudia.
With their exposure undeniable, Claudia began to speak, her voice tinged with
apology.
“I'm sorry, Leon. I did this for you and for the well-being of the entire Thomas
family.”
“For me?”
Leon repeated the words through gritted teeth, his appearance conveying a
sense of anguish.
“Leon, it's time to let go of the past and move forward with your Life. The
possibility of you and Millie being together is implausible, and this is also for
Millie's sake. You can see that she shares a meaningful bond with Marcus.”
Claudia attempted to reason.
Claudia recognized that whatever she said at this moment would likely incite
Leon's displeasure. Yet she found herself backed into a corner with no viable
solution that could appease both sides. Millie was a singular individual, and she
couldn't be divided between her two grandsons.
One of them would inevitably have to relinquish his claim on her.
“You must be concerned that I'll resort to any means necessary to claim Millie for
myself, thereby pitting myself against Marcus, correct? Your assumption is
accurate. At this point, I care for nothing but my own desires. This family holds no
sentimental value to me, and I've grown indifferent to its frigid embrace.” Leon’s
words carried a chilling weight, inducing an involuntary shiver.
These words sent a wave of apprehension through Claudia. Was her worst fear
about to materialize?
Would Leon truly stop at nothing to wrest Millie away, even if it meant clashing
with Marcus?
