Chapter 1656
âLea, go and pick a guest room for yourself. This house belongs to a friend of mine. Though they're
not currently living here, we must respect their belongings and only occupy one room.â
Lea, always understanding, nodded and then asked, âMom, what about my books and homework?
They're still at that hotel, right?â
Bertha sighed, âWe'll figure out how to get them in a few days.â
"Okay!"
Lea obediently headed off to pick her room.
After Lea left the room, Bertha sat alone on the couch, pondering over her marriage with Thaddeus.
Suddenly, her mind drifted to the lady who had helped her today.
Just as Marlinie was about to hang up, Bertha stopped her, âWait, Marlinie! I have something to ask
you!"
Marlinie patiently responded, âWhat is it?â
Bertha frowned, âMarlinie, about your daughter Pearl. Are you sure she passed away?"
Hearing the mention of her deceased daughter, Marlinie fell silent for a long time on the other end
of the line. âOf course I'm sure.â Bertha said, âBut I saw a girl today who looks so much like you. And
sheâs about the same age as Pearl would have been.â
"What? That can't be. Maybe she just looks similar by chance!â
âHer name is Ellinor, last name Mendoza. I'll send you her picture later. It could be that I'm thinking
too much into this.â
A sleek, extended limousine pulled up in front of the Blanchet Villa.
First to exit was Ellinor, who then turned around to help her three children out of the car. Veronica
followed suit and got out.
After saying goodbye to the others in the limo, they led the children inside.
The limo didn't drive off, but remained parked outside the Blanchet Villa for some time, until
Ellinorâs figure disappeared from sight.
Belinda gave a long sigh, breaking the silence, âEllinor must be so confused right now. The man
sheâs been waiting for doesnât even remember her.â
Chase drew her closer, âNot necessarily. I think she cares more about Mr. Blanchet's safety than his
memory. As long as he's alive, that's all that matters to her.â
