Conquered Girl Tengil
Chapter 43. It's gone

"Ja_so I already have a grandchild?"

"Yes, mommy's granddaughter is 21 years old and she just got married 2 days ago."

"Oh God's. Too bad I can't see it."

"Later I'll show mommy Star's wedding video."

"Star?"

"Yes, Mommy. Called Starlight. She really is a girl who shines in any way."

"Oh, you should have brought him here, Lionel."

"But he's a little bad, Mom."

Cecilia looked at Lionel mellow. However, it did not dampen the radiance of his happiness. He knew there was something Lionel was covering for him. The guts are very significant.

"Why have you been so nervous, Lionel?"

"What's so visible?"

Lionel smiled gently. He cupped Cecilia's hands together and held her. To be honest, Lionel was still hesitant to break the news.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what, Lionel? Did you do anything wrong? Why are you apologizing?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect my sister, Mom. I'm sorry I couldn't bring her here. Because ...." Lionel paused his speech to make Cecilia curious as well as pounding.

"Tell mommy what's going on?"

"Arabella's been .. no, Mom."

"A_what did you say?" Cecilia still couldn't believe what she heard.

"Arabella. They tortured. Since daddy's gone, Bertha and her son have always tried to separate Arabella from Star. They're trying to make Arabella mentally destroyed until Arabella's physical weakness."

"Bertha!" Cecilia clenched her hands. It should have been, he didn't leave Lionel and Arabella. Supposedly, he fought even harder to find Arabella and Lionel.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Lionel told Cecilia everything, sometimes Cecilia cried, sometimes she smiled. Lionel's story closes with the search for Star's father, Adams Felipe Gallardo.

"Who?"

"Adams Felipe Gallardo, Mom. Did you recognize him?"

"I know him very well. He's my brother's wife's niece, but how can he?"

"It was fate that brought them together and it was Bertha's cruelty that separated Arabella and Adams."

"But Adams already has a family."

"I won't disturb his family. Star just wanted to see her father. Give Star a chance to meet Adams, Mom."

Cecilia was still speechless, she was worried that her grandson would swallow the disappointment. Adams is married and has 2 children. Their families are very harmonious and away from the sloping issue.

"Tomorrow Star will be here with her husband. Can mommy invite Adams to dinner with Star?"

"Ta_but .... "

"Please, Mom. I'm not gonna ask Mommy anything. Since childhood Star has always suffered. Let him perfect his happiness this time. I want to talk to Adams, too."

"Alright, mommy's gonna try to reach him."

Cecilia asked the girl for her phone that was pushing her wheelchair. "Oh, yeah. Who's Zafa?"

"Zafa Star's husband, what's wrong, Mom?"

"He's a really good young man. A few days ago he greeted mommy and asked if mommy was still interested in finding your whereabouts. Mommy thinks she's just a prankster for saying she knows where you are. Mommy instantly says if you're really alive then mommy will hand over half of the Group's royal shares to her."

"He accepted?"

"No. She won't accept mommy's offer. He just said he'd ask me something, but later when he's in Spain with his wife."

"Star was lucky to meet the man" Lionel said.
