Chapter 2586: Chapter 59: A Secret Hidden for Ten Years
The cold aloofness on Abraham Redington’s face finally cracked upon hearing Yana Lucas’s words.
The frost that covered that handsome face began to shatter inch by inch.
The man’s deep blue eyes glanced to the side, avoiding Yana Lucas’s gaze.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about, the things from ten years ago... I don’t remember them."
"Is that so?" Yana Lucas leisurely curled her lips, "You may not remember, but I remember clearly, and to this day I dare not forget. Second Brother, I’ve kept this secret in my heart for ten years, just to see when you’d finally face your true feelings.
Ten years ago, Molly stayed the night at the Manor. She somehow hurt her knee and cried the whole night.
Back then, I thought she cried that way out of fear of pain, but later on, I noticed that she cried because you were giving each other the silent treatment, arguing.
After finally coaxing her to sleep, I went back to my room. But then, worried she might not be sleeping well, I decided to check on her, only to find out... you were by her bedside.
Second Brother, while you two were obviously in a cold war, you lowered your head and kissed Molly who was sound asleep.
From that moment, I knew you liked Molly."
"I’ve said before, you saw wrong, I don’t like her." Abraham Redington denied coldly without a second thought.
Yana Lucas laughed, "You don’t like her? If you don’t like her, why were you afraid to see her after that? Why suddenly declare you wanted to leave Eastonia and go to Europe? You were gone for ten years, and the only time you returned was specifically when Molly wasn’t around. It’s not just that you like her, you’re afraid to see her, afraid you might lose control and do something about your brother’s fiancée.
Second Brother, someone like you who is indifferent to everything, how could you lose control if it weren’t for deep love? Admit it, you like Molly, and not just like, but like very, very much, loving yet unable to attain, loving her to your deepest core.
Otherwise, why else would you’ve lost all control to get close to Molly just the day after you were forced to return to the country? Haven’t you wondered why the distance you maintained for ten years collapsed the moment you saw Molly?"
Yana Lucas certainly knew about the rumors between Abraham Redington and Molly Wellington at the school.
She wasn’t foolish, her brother wasn’t around, a few inquiries could easily reveal the circulating gossip about Molly Wellington’s fiancé, whether he had black eyes or blue eyes.
Abraham Redington thought he hid his interactions with Molly very well.
Little did he know, Yana Lucas observed how their relationship grew closer with a certain mindset.
If it weren’t for her brother suddenly having someone he liked, according to Yana Lucas’s script, her brother would’ve returned to prepare for the engagement party, and appeared publicly with Molly.
If that were the case, Second Brother’s hidden jealousy would’ve been entirely provoked.
He would then understand what kind of feelings lay deeply within his heart.
Unfortunately, even Yana Lucas never managed to see through her own brother.
Nor had she expected that the little follower behind her brother would become his true love.
Yana Lucas said everything she could and should say.
She quietly watched Abraham Redington, waiting for his response.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes...
It’s uncertain how much time had passed.
Abraham Redington’s icy blue pupils finally reacted.
"I understand," he said.
Abraham Redington raised his long, cold blue eyes to stare back at his sister sitting opposite.
Word by word, he stated, "I’ll provide an explanation to the Wellington family."
...
In the room next door, Molly Wellington was in the bathroom applying a wet towel to her eyes and lips.
Her eyes were red from crying, and her lips were swollen from being kissed.
But later, she’d have to face her Daddy, mother, godfather, and godmother; she couldn’t continue like this.
