The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 66

Alfa and Ervan venture into a middle-aged woman they accidentally meet. The woman looks more fashionable in terms of appearance than other residents in the fishing village.

"Excuse me, Mum. Can we ask you a question?" Alfa approached the middle-aged woman with a warm smile.

"Yes, of course."

The middle-aged woman looked at Alfa and Ervan, from toe to head without any part being missed. The appearance that looked different from the two became the center of attention of the woman.

Alfa reached out and showed the woman a photo of Dea on her phone screen.

"Ehm, do you know this girl?"

The middle-aged woman grabbed Alfa's phone while watching Dea's photo with her eyebrows intertwined.

"It's Dea's?" she screamed at the woman with surprise. "Where did you get this girl's picture?"

The woman looked at Ervan and Alfa's face very seriously. While the two even throw each other face to face and smile with satisfaction.

"So you know this girl?" ask Alfa again to be sure.

"Yes, of course I know. He's my son's ex-wife." The woman looked back at Alfa in surprise. "Actually who are you, anyway? The reporters?"

"Ex-wife? So, this girl was married?" strangled Alpha with round eyes.

"Yes. He was married to my son, Julian. However, it only lasted one day. Julian divorced the girl right on their first night. You want to know why?" The woman handed Alfa's phone and then crossed her arms to her chest.

After taking her phone, Alfa immediately put it back in her pants pocket. "Why, Mom?" ask Alfa quietly.

"Because the girl is no longer holy. I don't know who he did it with. She confessed to being raped, but my son did not believe her. Our family believes that this is just the reason. He and his family deliberately wanted to frame Julian. Do they think Julian would be that stupid? Someone else ate the jack, Julian's time got his gum. It's delicious!" Firmly the woman without being strained at all.

Alfa and Ervan looked at each other again. But this time they could not smile. On the contrary, their faces looked sad and the guilt again gnawed at the hearts of both of them.

"Yes, get divorced! Specially? Now prove our words! The girl has disappeared from this village and from the news I got from her next door neighbor, she was expelled by her own brother for being pregnant." The woman chuckled, as if content to laugh at Dea's misery.

Alfa's heart seemed to be torn to shreds hearing the woman's words. Now he realized why Dea could hate him so much. Because of his indecent deeds that night, Dea's life was completely ruined.

"Thank you very much for the information, ma'am. Excuse me first."

Unable to hear any further about Dea's suffering, Alfa chose to stop the painful chatter and took a few steps back.

"Oh, yeah! You haven't answered my question, who are you and where are you? And why are you so curious about the girl's story?" ask the woman curious.

Instead of answering the woman's question, Alfa chose to waltz away from the place while pushing Ervan's wheelchair. The middle-aged woman was inflamed because her question was not addressed by Alfa at all.

"Based on a freak! Asked not to answer."

The woman continued to grumble while looking at Alfa's back who continued to move away. Until a young man came and approached him.

"What's up, Mom? And who are they?"

"Eitherway! Suddenly he questioned Dea. Yeah, I'll explain everything. But you see for yourself, when you ask them who? Uh, they're gone, instead" chirped the woman.

"Ah, stop! Why think about that problem. It doesn't matter! Mending thought about your wedding which will be held in a few days," he continued.

The woman walked away and went back inside her house. While the young man was still silent there while paying attention to Alfa and Ervan from a distance.

"Who are they? Why are they asking about Dea?" muttered the man. Who is none other than Julian, Dea's ex-husband. The middle-aged woman was Julian's own mother.
