Chapter 473
Mrs. Stone was taken aback by the news. “Zachary has a partner?”
“He’s already married, and he treats his wife exceptionally well. He spoils her and is so protective that Clive can’t even discover her identity.”
Mrs. Stone fell silent for a moment. “Since he already has a wife, you should move on. He was never yours to begin with. It’s always been a one-sided affection on your part.”
While Mrs. Stone admired Zachary, she understood that he did not have feelings for her daughter.
It was her daughter who simply wanted to give it a chance.
Once she encountered an insurmountable barrier, she would have to retreat.
“Mom, I need to tell you something.”
Elisa wished to avoid any further discussion about Zachary. Every mention of him felt like a stab to her heart.
It would be dishonest to say it didn’t hurt to suddenly learn that the man she had loved for years was already married, and that she almost became the other woman in a marriage, leaving her no choice but to abruptly abandon her feelings.
Now, she tried her best to avoid mentioning Zachary to spare herself the pain.
“What is it? I’ll be home soon. Why don’t we wait until I arrive?”
“I think you’ll be thrilled to hear this. It’s a new lead about my aunt.”
As expected, Mrs. Stone’s expression shifted, and she asked in surprise, “Elisa, is there a new lead? Where is your aunt now?”
“You know my friend Serenity, the one who trended on Twitter as
“Do you remember the ‘unfilial granddaughter’ from last time? I sent her the photo of you and Aunt as kids so she could help keep an eye out. Just now, when I called her, she mentioned that after examining it closely, she noticed some similarities between her nephew Sonny and my aunt.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Stone turned pale. The Twitter trending issue had spread quite widely at the time. While she hadn’t seen the photo that the Hunts had deleted, she had received a summary of the events from her daughter.
The Hunt sisters were orphans. If Serenity’s nephew resembled her sister, it implied that Serenity’s mother was her sister and that she had passed away fifteen years ago.
Mrs. Stone struggled to accept this reality. It was difficult to come to terms with the fact that the sister she had been searching for over the decades had died so long ago, fifteen years in fact.
She gripped her phone tightly, only managing to suppress her swirling emotions after a long pause. She asked, “When you saw Serenity, did you notice if she resembled your aunt?”
“No, I believe Serenity has mentioned before that she looks like her dad,” came the reply.
Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words. “Her sister resembles her mom, but her sister is quite overweight, so I really can’t see any similarity between her and my aunt. Mom, I think this time we may have truly found her. From the first moment I met Serenity, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.”
“The first time I saw Sonny, I liked him immediately. With my personality, I usually don’t take to people right away. I think it might be due to the blood connection.”
Additionally, since she and Serenity were cousins, she felt a familiarity with Serenity.
“Where’s Sonny?”
“Serenity mentioned there was an incident involving Sonny. Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious. They’ve already left the hospital and returned home. Her sister is taking care of him. I wanted to ask when you expect to arrive so that I can take you with me to visit him at Liberty’s place.”
This was the first child she had grown fond of.
Elisa was filled with anger upon learning that he had been bullied into this condition.
Once Serenity had some free time, she would ask for more details and ensure that family faced serious consequences.
She was unbothered by the possibility of being labeled unreasonable or biased.
In Wiltspoon, who didn’t know that Elisa Stone was notoriously fierce?
“What happened to Sonny?”
Elisa recounted Sonny’s story to her mother.
Mrs. Stone felt distressed upon hearing it.
In her daughter’s words, it didn’t matter whether Sonny was her sister’s grandson or not; simply hearing that a two-year-old child had been beaten so badly was enough to disturb anyone.
