Chapter 304: Wedding Reception
"Still, it’s all Old Madam Liu’s fault. If she had just let mom and her older son have a happy life, there would have been no tragedy!" Rizie huffed. They were inside a van that was headed to the wedding reception party.
"Ouch!" she cried when her back was hit by Grandma Terry.
"You! Spurting nonsense! If none of that had happened, do you think you would have still been born? What happened was tragic, but all things happened for a reason. Your mother met your father, then you were born... This brat..." Grandma Terry scolded her, and Rizie ended up scratching her head.
"Thom has suffered a lot too... He saved me first... I’m sure he was blaming himself for Charlie’s death..." Sheila mumbled.
Sheila remembered the look in Senior Liu’s face when their eyes met earlier at the church. She could see years of sorrow reflected in his eyes.
She knew Thom well... Even before she had reciprocated Charles’ feelings, she and Tom had been good friends. Just like Charles, Thom had always treated her well. At one point, she had even gotten confused about her own feelings. Sheila was not insensitive not to have noticed Thom’s affections toward her. She did like him, but she loved Charles...
Sheila’s thoughts were interrupted by her mother, who was patting her shoulder and said, "Zach understands you well. Now you are free from that burden, from the truth..."
Sheila let out a long sigh... Her mother knew her so well. Hiding the truth from Zach had been a big load on her shoulders for as long as she could remember. She had been planning to tell Zach about his real identity once he had settled down with his own family. But the truth had caught up with her instead. Before she could reveal anything to Zach, the truth had decided to show itself first.
Meanwhile, Keira and Zach decided to go home after their families had made sure that they would take care of their guests on their behalf...
