Chapter 404: All this time, I was jealous of myself
[PRESENT TIME]
Hera could still remember that time they had to drop off the boy on the side of the road because they were being chased. To not implicate the boy in their deadly situation, Vicenzo could only take the boy as far as he could.
Now that she thought about it, Dominic mentioned this detail in passing. However, she didn’t put too much thought into it. Moreover, she almost forgot about that boy, despite thinking about him for quite some time after they parted. Her life kept her occupied, especially when she lost her mother and became the don of the organization.
This memory almost slipped her mind until she saw Dominic’s childhood photos.
’Just what are the odds, huh?’ she wondered, still speechless and confused about what to feel about this discovery.
"I’m getting worried now."
Suddenly, a woman’s voice brought Heaven back to the current lapse. When the latter turned her head, her brows knitted.
"Why are you here...?" Heaven trailed off, looking around, only to find herself in the garden. ’Right... I excused myself from Mother when Butler Fu came to discuss something with her, and I met Ivy on my way back.’
Only then did Heaven realize how lost in thought she was, that she didn’t even know how she and Ivy got into the mansion’s garden. Everything that happened after making her discovery was a blur.
"Sorry," she sighed. "I was just thinking of something."
"I figured." Ivy let out a short chuckle, leaning against the armrest on the other side of the bench. "Do you want to talk about it?"
