Chapter 40
Simon was not welcome in front of the two sisters. He was embarrassed for a moment.
Alice could not bear to see his expression, but when she reminded herself that Simon had married her older sister, Alice instantly hardened her heart.
Simon had done such ridiculous and heartless things that did not deserve any sympathy.
Grace did not want to be around Marry anymore, so Alice followed suit. Despite having two sisters, Alice was not as close to Marry, as she was to Grace. She and Grace shared the same world views. "Grace, Alice, regardless of everything, I am still your sister's husband, we are still friends." Simon said softly, "I thought that since we haven't seen each other for so many years, you would not that hate me on account of our friendship. It seems that I was wrong."
Both Grace and Alice were stunned.
Grace understood that since this mistake that fateful night, the relationship between Simon and her had ended, and she had to keep a distance from him in the future.
Grace pursed her lips and said, "You are now our brother-in-law. At least, it's reasonable to keep some distance."
Simon was stunned. After a long time, he said,
"I'm leaving."
Leaving just this sentence behind, Simon left in a hurry.
The door closed behind him.
Grace sat on the sofa for a long time without moving. She looked powerless and tired.
Alice looked at Grace worriedly. "Sis, are you okay?"
Grace came to her senses and looked into her little sister's worried eyes. She parted her lips and said, "I expected that I would meet them again when I came back to live in Northern City, but I didn't expect that it would come so soon and I was caught unprepared. I thought of my other child who died so young when I saw Simon."
Hearing this, Alice's face was full of guilt and apology. "It's my fault. I must have accidentally allowed him to follow me here."
"Since we have returned, it would mean that we will meet each other sooner or later. Simon might have accidentally seen you, so he followed you." Grace did not blame her little sister. "Sit down and eat first." Alice knew that her sister did not blame her, and she felt even more sorry in her heart. "Grace, you should stop thinking about the past."
"I can't help it." Grace sighed. "That was my child. How good would it be if he could have grown up with Gary?"
"How nice it would have been if I were there.
Marry was there, and I always feel that she had something strange on her mind." Alice suddenly took a deep breath. "In fact, I have always suspected Marry. I don't believe what she said. Tell me, do you think the child is really gone?"
"Marry said the child was not fully developed and died as soon as he was born. Marry was afraid that I would be sad, so she dealt with the funeral." Grace covered her face with her hands sadly, and her voice spewed from the gap between her fingers. "I had done an ultrasound scanning several times. The results showed my children were developing well, and they were twins from different eggs. The probability of that was much less than twins from the same egg. They have always been well developed. How could it have been that one was born deformed and died?"
"Grace, are you suspecting that Marry lied to you?" Alice looked at her in a daze.
Grace shook her head in pain. "I don't know. Simon also said that the child was dead. Simon will not lie to me."
Grace knew that Marry might lie to her because of Simon, but Simon would never lie to her.
"Grace, you actually blame them very much, right?"
"Alice, I only blame them because they didn't let me see the dead child, especially Simon - he did not let me see the child. It was gone just like that. I feel terrible." Grace closed her eyes. Despite all these years, tears clung on to her long eyelashes.
