Chapter 257 - Ch. 257 Helena's Son

Helena Lopez… Helena Black was a cheerful and talkative person, just like her. That's why they were pretty compatible with each other and have been best friends since childhood.

They went to the same school, and they lived next door!

Unfortunately, after graduating from high school, they separated because Lopez sent Helena to study abroad. Britney stayed in New York and studied there until she met Bossley Zouch.

In the end, when Helena returned to New York, she couldn't meet Britney because her best friend had gone to South America and settled there. Since then, they never reached out to each other because Britney was not allowed to contact anyone in the North…until now.

"I didn't expect you to drop out of college because you wanted to get married. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Well, I think I was young and naive. But I don't regret it." because she had two amazing little angels.

But…

Without realizing it, Britney's eyes became sad. The only thing she regretted the most was saying those heartless words.

'I regret that I brought you into this world!'

Until now, Britney still couldn't forget her thoughtless words as if he was the one who was hurt.

"Brit?"

"Hmm?" Britney was awakened from her thoughts when she felt a soft tap on her shoulder, and her friend's voice sounded so gentle.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? If your husband acts violently, you can let me know. My husband has a legal acquaintance who will punish your husband." was Helena's conclusion about her unhappy friend's situation.

"What? No." Britney laughed lightly, realizing her best friend had misunderstood her. "My husband has never been violent with me. On the other hand, he was very good to me. I feel like I'm the one who doesn't deserve to be with him." not only was she not a good wife, but she wasn't a good mother either.

"Why do you think like that? Who is your husband? It's not like he's a president in this state."

"He's not a president, but he's my dream man."

"Awww… Is he handsome? I remember you have very high requirements towards your future husband."

"He is."

"I bet your daughter is beautiful, too."

"Of course, she is."

"Oh, my. This is the first time I heard you praised another girl's beauty." Helena remembered that Britney rarely complimented a girl no matter how beautiful she was.

"Not other girls. She is my daughter."

"I know, I know. I'd like to meet her sometimes."

"Hm… How about today? Would you like to visit my house?" Britney remembers Kaylee would go home today, according to her routine schedule.

"Really? You know I'd love to."

The two friends giggled, and after paying for Kaylee's new dress, they both headed off to Zouch's house.

When they arrived in front of the house, Britney realized that the car that Kaylee used to work was parked there.

"Oh, she came home earlier than usual."

"Who?"

"Kaylee, my daughter."

"So her name is Kaylee? It's a beautiful name."

Britney only smiled when she heard the words of praise from her friend. They got out of the car, and Britney ushered her best friend inside.

"Mom, do you know where Chopin's music book is? Oh, hello. I'm sorry, I don't know we have a guest." Kaylee immediately became polite and smiled kindly at her mother's guest.

"Hi, sweetheart. How charming you are."

Kaylee blushed and glanced shyly at her mother.

"Kaylee, this is my school friend, Helena. And Helena, she is my lovely daughter, Kaylee."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Helena."

"Pleasure is all mine, darling."

"Uhm… Mom, do you know the book?"

"Didn't you store in the piano chair?"

"I did, but I couldn't find it."

"Your room?"

"No."

"How about your studio room?"

"I've checked it twice."

"Hm… Let me think. I think I saw a stray book in my car."

"Oh, that's right. That time I borrowed your car." Kaylee dashed toward her mother. "The key, please." Kaylee smiled broadly as she stretched her palms towards her mother as if asking for something.

"Here. Are you going again?"

"I'll be back at five. Love you, mom." Kaylee gave a quick peck at her cheek before running off to get her book and then rushed to meet Wendy.

"She's so cute."

"I'm sorry. She's not like this at usual times. I think she's in a rush."

"Did she work at weekends too?"

"Yes. Sometimes the clients want to see her on the weekends. But she always comes home every weekend."

"She lives independently?"

"Ever since she built her studio building, she wanted to live alone. She said her apartment was very close to her studio."

"She is an amazing girl. You're lucky to have her."

"I do." Britney sighed sadly but quickly changed her expression to a cheerful one. "So, a cup of tea?"

"Lovely."

The two of them enjoyed tea together and talked to each other about many things. One of them was Helena's only son, whom she was very proud of.

"Wait a minute. Wasn't it me who got married first, but why is your son over thirty?"

"Ah, that's a long story. But I can ensure you Declan is the most obedient and loveable son."

Somehow, Britney felt Helena was reluctant to tell more about her son.

"Here, I'll show you his face." Helena took out her phone and showed Britney her photo gallery.

"Is this your husband?"

"Yup. Isn't he a hotty?"

Briteny laughed aloud, hearing her best friend still hasn't changed in describing a man's handsomeness.

"And this is my son."

Britney smiled gently when she saw her best friend hugging a boy lovingly. She also wanted to have a son, but she was blessed with two daughters.

Britney still looks at many photos of her best friend's son from around the age of seven to his teens. She could see that Helena loved Declan very much, but she wondered why there was no photo of Declan when the boy was still an infant?

Could it be that Declan…

Before she could finish her thoughts, her eyes were fixed on the adult version of Declan.

Why did she feel she had met this man before?
