Chapter 207 My Mom Is Not A Bad Woman

Since the day that she found out that she was not the biological daughter of Vernon, she started to avoid the Mo family as much as she can. She thought that it was cruel but she felt that it was for the best.

Although Vernon and Sophia treated her indifferently, Amelia still felt that she should be treated as a member of the family, but she never expected it to be more than just wishful thinking on her part.

"In the present time and age, what your mom did might be considered love. But it was wrong. She should not have taken advantage of Vernon's love to cheat on him," Sophia explained.

Sophia's words made Amelia ponder the truth behind them. "If what you said is true, then why did my mother promise to marry my father? She must have important reasons, right?" Amelia asked.

"You are right. Your mother did have her own reasons." Sophia frowned and then nodded. She knew that what she was about to say would be difficult. "Your mother had a lover while she was married to Vernon. When Vernon found out that she was pregnant, he became so happy that he promised that he will be a responsible husband and will make their family happy."

Amelia felt bad the more she heard Sophia's words.

Her story so far implied that Iris and her lover only used Vernon for their own gain.

"This is ridiculous!" Amelia exclaimed. Her entire body shook as she became overwhelmed with sadness and rage.

Sophia felt sad as she looked at Amelia. She tried to comfort her and said, "Don't be too sad for what happened. Vernon and I should still take the blame for your mother's death. If you feel angry with us, we will not blame you and we will not complain. We are now paying for the sins that we have committed all those years ago..."

Sophia said with a v

utiful face. And Lucian felt enchanted just by looking at her as he approached.

Amelia looked deeply immersed in her sorrow and crying that she never noticed Lucian. He stood silent by her side for a long time but she never sensed his presence.

He noticed that Amelia's shoulders gently shook with each breath that she made. Lucian knew that she had been crying for some time. He squatted down beside her and slowly hugged her. "Honey, what happened?" Lucian whispered in a gentle voice.

She felt his arms around her as he held her tightly. Warmth filled her body.

Lucian's voice rang into her consciousness like the sun at the end of a deep black night. She became fully aware of his presence as the events of the day washed over her in a new wave of sorrowful thoughts.

"It's not true. It can't be true," Amelia whispered tearfully back at Lucian. She shook her head gently as she spoke in between sobs.

Lucian had no idea what happened. He was unhappy to see her so sad and broken. He picked her up from the floor and gently put her on the bed. He then took the sleeping Mark from her arms and placed him on his crib. Lucian then sat beside Amelia and wiped away her tears. "Tell me what happened and we'll deal with it together, OK?"

Amelia wept as if in reply to Lucian's question. He took her in his arms and held her tightly.

She shook her head gently as he held her. She wanted to tell him but she had no idea where to start. And her inability to tell Lucian frustrated her and made her even sadder.

Lucian immediately noticed that Amelia was unable to talk about what was bothering her so he did not force her. He kept holding her tightly and whispered gently to her, "I am here, Amelia. Whatever happened, I am always here for you."
