"His husband? Do you have a husband?" carissa asked with a forehead filled with question marks, because she felt very curious. Was his guess right all along?
Lily immediately stuttered because she was flabbergasted, but even to avoid it she felt useless. Carissa would not be able to believe his lies.
"Ah yes, Ma'am. I already have a husband."
Hearing that, Carissa was very sure that Alessandro's son was the husband of Lily. Because as long as he was observing the Barracks' house, no other man came in and out, except for Ghara and his father.
So, Ghara bought a rose for Lily. It's a good opportunity to acknowledge who Lily really is. That way, his revenge would be more perfect. He could destroy the Alessandro family.
"Then let's go in, there's something I want to tell you" Carissa said, holding Lily's hand.
"What is that, Mom?"
"Mom promised to show you pictures of my son. It's all inside."
They finally entered the house. Lily was sitting in the living room, while Carissa was making drinks for her daughter. He grinned faintly, already imagining how devastated Alessandro was when he found out, that the baby he took care of, was the child of the woman he hated the most.
"I've been looking forward to it all 20 years, Al. Just look, you'll be as broken as I am!" murmured Carissa, then after finishing she brought the drink along with snacks to the living room.
But he did not sit down immediately. He took back a box, which contained nothing. Only Carissa knows.
"Drink, honey," Carissa said to Lily who was staring around.
"Thank you, Mom." Lily took one glass of orange juice, then took a sip. "Oh yes, Mom. It's in from my Mommy, later she says tell me to play at home."
Carissa smiled and sat down next to Lily. But instead of responding to the girl's words, Carissa actually looks moody, making Lily wonder.
"Mother, why?"
Carissa's eyes turned teary as she looked at Lily deeply. She grabbed Lily's hand, then cried. "Mom doesn't know where to start, Li." He said with trembling lips, while the woman's tears had fallen.
Lily's forehead instantly folded. I don't understand what Carissa said. "I mean, Mom, what?"
Carissa's cry was getting louder, making Lily feel unbearable. In her mind, Carissa was remembering her dead daughter, so without hesitation Lily hugged Carissa's body.
"Mother, don't be sad, here I am. If you want a story, a story, I'm ready to be horrified" said the girl while stroking her biological mother's back. Unfortunately, he did not realize that.
Lily doesn't understand.
"Mom, whatever it is, I'll take it. I'm ready to be a good listener for you."
Carissa took a deep breath. He acted like he couldn't tell the truth. He has already made a drama. "Actually—actually you're Mom's son, son. The mother who gave birth to you, the mother who gave breast milk to you for the first time. But—"
Deg.
Lily's heart seemed to escape from her nest and time seemed to stop spinning. Lily was fixated on the sentence she had just heard from Carissa's mouth. So, this was the answer to why he felt comfortable, and did not feel unfamiliar with the middle-aged woman he had in his arms?
"Mom?" call Lily stifled, while her tears have already shed. He did not expect that he would finally be able to find the person who had given birth to him into the world.
"Sorry mom, Li. But it's not Mom's will not take care of you. The person you hate the most, he's the one who did it" Carissa said. It seems to show real hatred.
Lily lifted her chin. "Who do you mean, Mother?"
"He's the one who claims to be your foster father. He is your real father. He who has taken you forcibly, even when mom is still breastfeeding you!"
Carissa begins to provoke Lily's thoughts, for the girl to believe in her.
Lily was immediately flabbergasted. Even their hugs instantly came off because he was so shocked. In that case, he and Ghara are still siblings and they should not be married. Because the blood flowing in their bodies is the same.
"Mom, but this is impossible! I've married Brother Ghara, and he's Daddy's son, so there's no way Daddy would let me marry my own brother!" lily said while shaking her head. He can't believe it yet.
Carissa rubbed Lily's upper arm. "Li, it could be that Ghara is someone else's son. Because you don't know how your Daddy used to be. Arabella is a barren woman, proof to date that she has no more children."
"But that's impossible, ma'am!" cry Lily involuntarily, as she was too shocked.
However, Carissa immediately took out a DNA test between herself and Lily. Then he showed me some photos of his childhood. Including when Alessandro holds Lily in front of the house. "You see! This all explains that you are the mother's son. And these photos, your Daddy sent them to Mom. You think everyone knows about this? No, Li! In the general eye, you are the son of Alessandro and Arabella. Then how did you know? Because mom really is your mom."
Hearing that, Lily cried again, she covered her face, as all this was too dizzying. What really happened in the past? Why did it all come up when she was married to Ghara, and started to love the man?
