Chapter 455
Chapter 455
Loraine and Hansen looked at their mother's grave and their tears never stopped flowing.
Everleigh walked over, squatted down, and patted her on the shoulder. "Loraine, it's getting late. Let's go home."
"Aunt Trevino, I'm now a child without a mother, aren't I?" Loraine looked at her with red eyes.
Everleigh sobbed but couldn't bear to tell her that it was reality.
"Loraine, both of you can't stay here. Listen to me and go back with us," Cecil helped to persuade them, seeing that Everleigh was disheartened.
Loraine glanced at Hansen. His face was pale and his eyes were red and swollen, looking like bells.
Their hearts ached.
They nodded and followed Everleigh back to the Trevino family home.
Abraham knew about this matter too. He looked at the two children, one of whom was the same age as Alastair and Adrienne. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel sorry for them. They lost their mother at such a young age and their father was such a cruel person.
"You can rest here for a while. If you need anything, just tell Hilda, okay?" Everleigh told Loraine.
She nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Trevino."
She cried too much the past two days and she could barely speak as her voice was hoarse.
Everleigh caressed her face and asked Hilda to make them something to eat.
After Alastair and Adrienne came back from school and heard about the news, they took Hansen into a room. Nobody knew what they were talking about.
Loraine was depressed the entire day and had no strength to do anything.
Everleigh's heart was also aching, but she knew that they had to overcome this on their own.
The next day, when Everleigh arrived at the company, she saw Loraine. Out of curiosity, she followed her.
In Theodore's office, Loraine was sitting on the sofa, looking at her older brother in front of her.
"I hope you can do me a favor."
"Shouldn't you have gone to find Wilson?" Theodore's cold gaze made Loraine tremble in fear. She knew that he had no right to help her, but she had no other choice.
She clearly knew what kind of person Wilson was. If she relied on him, she would probably die earlier.
Loraine took a deep breath and controlled the fear in her heart. "As for what kind of person Wilson is, you don't have to tell me anything more. I don't have any other expectations. I just hope that you can help me since we're still a bit related by blood. Send both my brother and I abroad. My mother left us a lot of money and it's enough for us to survive. However, there's no way for us to go abroad on our own, and we need your help."
Hearing that, the smile on Theodore's face grew even wider. "Why didn't you look for Everleigh?"
"Aunt Everleigh is a nice person, but... Godfrey is not her surname." Loraine also knew that if she asked Everleigh to help her, she would definitely agree. It was the Godfrey family's business after all. Even if she was Theodore's fiancee, she still wasn't from the Godfrey family.
Everleigh stood at the door and heard everything clearly.
She was also very curious about what Theodore would do.
He remained silent for a long time, staring at Loraine's expression quietly.
Loraine clenched her fists and her palms became sweaty. She was betting to see if he would agree to her request. If he didn't agree, she had to find another way.
"Okay, when will you leave?"
She was a little surprised when she heard his words. Did he agree?
"I... I will leave as soon as possible."
"Just tell me when you want to leave. I will arrange it for you. However, if you don't want Wilson to find you, you have to change your name." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"I will change my surname to Miller. For so many years, my mother always wanted to be in the genealogy of the Godfrey family but I never wanted it. After being called an illegitimate daughter for so many years, I no longer want to go on like this." Loraine's eyes dimmed. It's not that she was a thoughtless person, but everything was just her mother's wishful thinking.
She did not want to be part of the Godfrey family. All she wanted was to lead a happy life like an ordinary person.
In the end, her life was not ordinary at all.
"Well, I will get in touch with the people abroad as soon as possible. You go back first."
"Thank you, Theodore. Maybe this is the last time I will call you my brother," she said gratefully.
With his help, she would definitely leave this place.
When Loraine came out, Everleigh hid herself. She thought it would be better not to show up at this time.
It was only after Loraine left the place then she walked into Theodore's office.
"Why did you agree to her request all of a sudden?"
"Because she told me that we're still a bit related by blood." Theodore had known since the beginning that Everleigh was standing at the door. She didn't go in because she didn't want Loraine to be bothered.
However, it didn't matter to him. She was the one who helped with Yvonne's funeral. There was nothing to be hidden from her.
She was silent for a moment and said with a chuckle, "You are really changing."
"If I remained the same, would you still be here with me now?"
"Of course not," she said jokingly.
The corners of his lips curled up. He knew that she was joking.
Wilson didn't know that Loraine was moving abroad. He called and asked to meet her.
She agreed. She also hoped that she would be able to meet her father for the last time before she left, so she brought Hansen along.
Wilson took her to a restaurant she liked and intended to have a good chat with her.
However, from the moment Loraine and Hansen walked in, the two of them didn't seem to have much interest.
"Loraine, I know you can't bear your mother's death, but I..."
"Dad, since my mother is dead, you don't have to keep telling me that. You know clearly what the truth is and I don't intend to investigate. Take this as the last time that I fulfill my duty as your daughter."
Wilson's expression froze. "What do you mean?"
"It means that I'm no longer your daughter. When my mother was alive, her biggest hope was to let us return to our ancestral roots, but you never fulfilled her wish," she replied indifferently and did not listen to him at all.
He looked at her with a sad face and felt very upset. She used to smile but now, her face was full of sorrow.
He also knew that it was all his fault.
"Loraine, do you hate me?"
"Of course. You killed my mother but I can't say that because you are my father. You can ignore our love and affection, but I can't, because you gave me life." Loraine's eyes were full of hatred for him, but her heart wasn't.
Wilson's whole body trembled as he looked at her in surprise.
"Dad, don't look for us anymore. I don't want to see you for the rest of my life." After saying that, Loraine stood up and walked out holding Hansen's hand.
As for Hansen, he turned around to look at Wilson, unwilling to part with him. He stretched out his small hand and gave him a small wave.
He knew in his heart that this might be the last time seeing his father.
Looking at their backs, Wilson's face froze as if it was covered with a layer of ice. He recalled Xavier's words in his mind, 'Everyone will definitely betray and leave you.'
Now, his words seemed to come true.
