Chapter 131: Appointment? Yes!
"I wanted to talk to you about Brother Merlin," Vernon said.
Helena froze for a second. "You are right. We should talk about Brother Merlin."
Vernon nodded. "Yes. Did you think of when to tell him?"
Helena rubbed her face with her palms and shook her head. "When to tell him? I still don’t know anything about what to tell him."
"What exactly are you thinking about the matter?" Vernon wanted to hear her thoughts.
Helena slowly shook her head. "I don’t know either. Actually, Brother Merlin had his parents, who were recently dead. I think it has been a year or something. So, I don’t even know if he knows that they weren’t his real parents.
"If he knew, then did he search for his real parents? Anyway, even if he had some sort of misunderstanding, we can still have a good talk and clear everything up as long as he knew they weren’t his real parents.
"But, what if... what if he doesn’t even know that he was adopted? All his life, he should be thinking that he was living with his own family. Now, suddenly dumping on him the news that it was all a lie? That the parents who raised him weren’t his real parents? How would he take it?
"So, I don’t know how to bring this topic up in front of him."
Vernon listened carefully and nodded. He understood her concerns.
He raised his hand and gently caressed her little head. "Silly girl. Why do you put so much pressure on yourself? You have to learn to let some things go."
"What do you mean?" Helena blinked her misty eyes and tilted her head to the side in confusion. She did not understand what he meant.
