No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 267

Lydia's words were shocking, but Leo found it reasonable.

Given how beautiful Lydia was, her mother must be as beautiful to pass the genes.

What Leo hadn't expected was her mother used to be the most beautiful woman in Valenham, too. He couldn't imagine how beautiful she was.

"She has not only a rarely beautiful face but also an excellent sharp mind. Soon she became famous all over the world."

Lydia recalled and continued, "Back at that time, her pursuers could be found everywhere in this city, but she fell in love with my father who was as poor as a church mouse at that time."

Leo didn't interrupt her and listened carefully.

"With my mother's help, the Henderson family rose from a no-name to one of the wealthiest families, and eventually become the loyal family in Valenham. Everyone knew that the Hendersons wouldn't have achieved this without my mother's help. She enjoyed all the compliments and praises, and my father ended up being a stay-at-home dad."

Leo sighed and had mixed feelings. He never thought that Lydia's parents would have such a story.

"But he didn't complain; he worked hard and never complained until something happened that caused a rift between them."

"What happened?" Leo asked.

Lydia's beautiful peace was as calm as a lake. She touched her smooth belly and continued, "My mother's infertility."

Leo's face froze.

He could imagine how much this defect would affect a family. No matter how beautiful Lydia's mother was, or how capable she was, people would still speak ill of her for her infertility. They would even look down upon him.

Because in their eyes, marriage was not just for love; it was for reproduction and making the family prosperous.

"The first time they had the rift, they had a big fight. I was five years old at that time."

Lydia sounded calm, her gentle eyes looking at Emilia who was sleeping soundly.

"My father was angry at her infertility, but my mother was a firm familist, thinking that children weren't the most important thing."

Leo nodded. He could see the conflict between the two person's personalities.

Suddenly, he froze and then looked at Lydia in surprise. "Wait... your mother's infertile, then how did she have you?"

"My father told me that Mom was fertile before. She lost her fertility after my birth."

Leo frowned. That answer seemed right, but he could vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Lydia added, "There's one more thing... I heard that on the day I was born, a servant couple in my family was expelled."

Leo didn't seem to care about that; his eyes became stern. "What about Marie?"

According to Lydia, her mother lost fertility after giving birth to her; so where did Marie come from?

"My father had her with another woman, and Marie doesn't know that."

Lydia said, "After my father found my mother's infertility, he treated her coldly, and during that period, he met another woman."

"My mother couldn't live with his betrayal.

She was irritated and chose to divorce, while before that, she decided to give my father a chance. She said she would stay if my father persuaded her to stay."

"Sure enough, he disappointed her again. This time, she chose not to stay and left the family without taking anything with her. Later she left Valenham. Since then, she was no longer the influential Miss Valenham, but a woman who failed marriage."

"After the mother left, Karl inherited the Henderson family, which my mother built from sketch. He brought the Henderson family to a whole new level and then married the woman he cheated on my mother with. Marie was their daughter."

Leo was astonished by what Lydia had just said. The complication of her family relationship was beyond his imagination.

"That's the story of my family. As for Terry and others, they were just my cousins."

Lydia continued imperturbably, "When my family broke, they all wanted my mother to be kicked out. They are all demons."

That was how the story ended. Leo looked at Lydia with a complex face, with a deep pitiful look in his eyes.

That was what her family was like. She was born into a rich family, but she wasn't happy at all.

Her father ruined her happy family, and now he was coming to destroy the family she had managed to build.
