Chapter 40 Mommy is Dead
Suddenly, Alexander remembered that four years ago, his cousin had a wedding, but on the day of the wedding, the bride left him at the altar.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it and had no idea who the woman Leo was going to marry was.
Now he realized that the woman Leo was going to marry was Ivy!
He distinctly remembered that the night he was with Ivy was the day before his cousin Leo's wedding.
Why would Ivy go to the bar and get drunk the night before her wedding and willingly give herself to a stranger?
She must have seen her best friend Kayla and fiancé Leo together, which greatly upset her and led her to make that decision.
From Kayla, he learned that Ivy had intended to remain a virgin until after marriage.
But after years of preserving her chastity, she gave herself away on the eve of her wedding. If it wasn't due to losing faith in marriage and being utterly hopeless in love, why would she do such a thing?
From this, it was evident that Ivy wasn't a promiscuous woman; she was simply heartbroken, which led to her actions.
Ivy, why didn't you tell me about your grievances?
Thinking of Ivy's beautiful face, Alexander's face lit up with a sunny smile.
Grandmother wanted him to find a girlfriend within three months, and she wanted that girlfriend to get pregnant.
If he had to do it, then Ivy was the only woman for the job!
With that thought, Alexander decisively put aside the matter in his hand, and issued a delighted command to his assistant, "Ethan, prepare the car!"
"Where are we going?" Ethan asked curiously.
"To meet my future girlfriend!" Alexander's lips curled up.
Ethan was shocked but quickly made arrangements for the trip.
Maria's inn
The small inn was surrounded by journalists, all here to report on the Missouri earthquake.
Seeing this scene, Alexander was somewhat surprised. Why would such a small inn be so lively?
Ethan also felt that the situation was unusual and immediately inquired on behalf of his master, "Excuse me, what is happening here? Why are there so many journalists?"
The onlookers rushed to answer.
"Don't you watch the news? Don't you know about this big event?"
"Missouri experienced an earthquake and a flood. The entire county was destroyed. The inn's owner, Maria, is from Missouri and just returned with her mother and the children of the inn's staff after evacuating."
"Thank goodness, no one was hurt," Ethan sighed and nodded.
"What do you mean, no one was hurt? The inn's staff had an accident. That woman is really pitiful. She lost her husband at such a young age and raised six children all by herself. Unfortunately, the children haven't grown up yet, and she was drowned by the water..."
A sudden tension ran through Alexander's body.
Lost her husband at such a young age? Six children?
Six children...
The more Alexander thought about it, the more something seemed amiss. He pushed his way into the crowd, regardless of everything else.
The lobby of the small inn
Maria was crying as she tried to chase away the journalists. "Please, can you leave quickly? We're feeling very upset, and the children are extremely sad. We don't want to be interviewed. Please, just go and don't publicize this!"
However, the journalists not only refused to leave but also drew closer to capture Maria and the six little girls' tearful misery.
"Auntie, is it true that Mommy is dead? Why does everyone say Mommy is dead..."
"Auntie, you said Mommy wouldn't die. She will find a place to take shelter from the rain and come find us..."
"Auntie, why did you lie to us? If you didn't pull me away, I could've saved Mommy..."
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to be in danger like Mommy. I only wanted to protect you..." Maria cried as she apologized to the children.
"Mommy really is gone..."
"Mommy is dead..."
The six little girls suddenly burst into loud sobs, a scene that moved everyone present.
