Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 884

Aurelia's hand that was holding the needle and thread paused.

Helene snuggled the pillow with her face intimately, swaying it gently and humming a lullaby as if she was really lulling a baby to sleep.

"My baby is a girl…" she talked to herself, then smiled at Aurelia. "A very pretty girl!"

Aurelia felt a pinch in her nose.

Before she came to Southeast Aciatic, she did not know that girls could be pampered so much. She thought of her parents when in fact, her impression of the two of them was already blurry.

Before she was ten years old, the family of three had crammed in the dark, dirty, and damp basement. Even if a single penny was left at home, her father would take it for alcohol and drugs. Their source of income had been her mother's prostitution.

Aurelia remembered that her mother would dress scantily and stand by the streets even when it was in the middle of the winter, making sexy giggles that made one's hair stand on end.

The two of them did not really care about her. They would toss her some food each day, as simple as if they were feeding a cat or a dog.

What they would say the most was—"What's the point of raising a girl? Money wasting!"

As expected, they abandoned a "liability" like her not too long after, leaving her to fend for herself in that basement…

Aurelia could not help her tears when she recalled her past, her tears falling on the small garment in her hands.

"W-What's wrong?" Helene looked confused.

Aurelia wiped her tears away and quickly apologized, "Sorry, Princess Lene… I dirtied the clothes…"

Helene did not seem to mind the clothing as her gaze stayed on Aurelia.

"Why are you crying?"

Aurelia forced a smile and shook her head.
