Chapter 379\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would hear her whisper things like: \u2018Shadow, Snowy, Sage, why do you think my parents didn\u2019t want me? They must have had a good reason, right? Maybe they made some powerful enemies and had to send me away to keep me safe.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018But I also heard I was found in a trash can. Everyone says no parent would do that. They think I must have been stolen by my parents\u2018 enemies and abandoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018My parents must be so worried. They\u2019re probably searching all over the country for me. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll see them soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryant\u2019s voice grew heavy with emotion. \u201cI stayed in Spire Village for six years, and in all that time, her parents never came.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually, my wife and I left. It wasn\u2019t until this recent commission that I learned what had become of her\u2013that she had finally found news of her birth parents, only to end up with monsters like Paxton\u00a0<\/p>\n
and Vivica.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After his impassioned account, Bryant\u2019s tone softened as he met Neville and Sapphira\u2019s pained expressions. \u201cBut thankfully, she found you. And you\u2019ve treated her as your own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The five Turner brothers were misty\u2013eyed, their hearts aching for their newfound niece.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn it, I regret not chopping off one of Paxton\u2019s fingers myself!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cForget one! Let\u2019s go back there now before they move out and cut off all of them!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, let\u2019s grab a knife first! A dull one, like Larissa used. And no helping him this time!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Vivica! I never liked her! Always talking trash about our sister behind her back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gloria frowned. Before she could speak, the ever\u2013observant Rafe stepped in. \u201cAlright, all of you, calm down. Can\u2019t you see you\u2019re giving Mom a headache? The matter is settled. The last thing Larissa wants now is to have any more connection to that family. Stop trying to stir up more trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other four fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryant nodded in agreement. \u201cHe\u2019s right. After today, Paxton\u2019s family is probably drowning in regret. They\u2019ll spend the rest of their lives trying to win Larissa\u2019s forgiveness. If you really want to help her, the best thing you can do is make sure they can never get near her again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gloria\u2019s expression was stern. \u201cYou heard him. From now on, you will ignore Paxton and his family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The five brothers nodded. \u201cUnderstood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Up on the third floor, Crispin carefully set Haskell down on the bay window seat in Larissa\u2019s room before quietly exiting and standing guard outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment the door closed, before Haskell could react, he felt a cool, soft pressure on his lips. He blinked, and the sensation was gone. He opened his eyes to see Larissa\u2019s playful face, her eyes sparkling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
no 21\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 379\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell,\u201d she said, her smile radiant, \u201cyou don\u2019t have to be envious of me. From now on, my parents are your parents, and my grandparents are your grandparents.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell was taken aback for a moment, then a gentle smile spread across his face. \u201cYou saw right through me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa wasn\u2019t usually one for subtleties, but her affection for him had sharpened her senses. She had noticed the flicker of envy and self\u2013deprecation in his eyes when she was interacting with her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She winked. \u201cMaybe love really does make you more perceptive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every time he heard the word \u201clove\u201d from her lips, Haskell\u2019s heart swelled with a joy he had never known before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
