Chapter 161 Sisters?
Jerry listened and suddenly began to cry. "I didn't expect Rosalie to remember me. That was not an accident because..." He suddenly choked up because Jerry was the cause of the car accident!
"Jerry, what do you mean?" Natalie asked.
"Ms. Teeger, follow me," Jerry said simply without offering more explanation.
Natalie followed Jerry to a residential building that was about to be demolished.
Natalie didn't expect Vachilit to have such a place. There was a thick layer of moss on the ground, making it slippery to walk, the air filled with a strong damp smell and a dense tangle of wires overhead.
Layers of clothes emitted various scents of cheap laundry detergent.
Jerry lived there, and he walked up to a rusty red iron gate and opened it. "Ms. Teeger, please come in."
Jerry's home was extremely simple. The living room only had a bed, a sofa, a table, and a few baskets on the floor, and the air carried a musty, moldy smell.
"I knew your mother from before," Jerry said as if lost in distant memories.
"We met in junior high school, she was beautiful, gentle, and excelled in her studies. She was the most beautiful in our school, everyone liked her. Many boys liked her, and I was just one of the insignificant ones. We were in the same class in junior high and the same school in high school. Even in college, her grades were better than mine, and she went to a very good university. My grades were poor, and I was always working as an apprentice outside, driving for others. I often visited her school during holidays, she became even more beautiful in college, more people were pursuing her, I never dared to hope to be her boyfriend. Later she had a boyfriend, a very handsome man, I was genuinely happy for her at that time."
Jerry looked at Natalie. "That man was Curtis Cullen."
Natalie was shocked.
Curtis? He was Rosalie's boyfriend in college?
Seeing Natalie's surprised expression, Jerry knew that Rosalie hadn't told her about this. "At that time, Curtis and Rosalie were a very compatible couple. Rosalie had a boyfriend, so I never contacted her again. Until much later, I made many friends during my line of work driving, one friend was delivering goods at Curtis's company, that day I saw Curtis with Avery, they were intimate, not like a family relationship, I asked around and found out that Curtis and Avery were already married."
"Jerry, what are you saying?"
"Didn't your mother tell you, that she and Avery are cousins?"
Natalie's mind exploded.
Rosalie and Avery were actually cousins.
"I harbored a fantasy at the time that if Rosalie hadn't married, hadn't been with Curtis, maybe I still had a chance. So I searched for news about Rosalie everywhere. After several inquiries, I finally found out that Rosalie became the housekeeper for the Cullen family, and she was already married, her husband was a driver for the Cullen family, and also the adopted son of Osborn Cullen. I thought to myself, maybe Rosalie and I really had no fate. I hoped she could have a good life. Curtis was clearly Rosalie's boyfriend at one point, but he ended up with Avery, that's betrayal, he's a disgusting jerk, I've always looked down on him."
Natalie lowered her gaze, lost in thought.
In the Cullen family, Avery had always tried to deal with them in various ways, it turned out, there was this underlying reason.
Natalie bit her lip. "Jerry, what happened next?"
