Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 544

Grace felt like her brain was short-circuiting.

Her grandmother had once told her that during her third year of her Ph.D. at Apex University, her mother suddenly married Alistair Hart and got pregnant with Cassian.

But what did that have to do with Silas Sheridan?

Damien raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised.

The plot was taking a rather unexpected turn.

"Are you saying..."

Grace's voice was hoarse. "That Dr. Serrano knew Mom?"

"He didn't just know her."

Cassian took a deep breath and revealed the final piece of his investigation.

"My hacker friend found out that when Silas later did research at Apex University, Mom... was his assistant."

"Furthermore, there were rumors that before Mom married that man, she and Silas were romantically involved. But for some unknown reason, she ended up marrying him instead."

'That man' obviously referred to their deadbeat father, Alistair Hart.

"Impossible!"

Grace instinctively retorted. "If Mom was romantically involved with him, why would she marry Dad? And... and Grandma never once mentioned this man to me."

Her grandmother had shared many stories about her mother, but she had never brought up this Silas Sheridan.

"Grandma probably didn't mention it because... it was completely forbidden."

Cassian offered a bitter smile. "Back then, a relationship between a professor and a student was a massive taboo. What if... and I'm just saying what if... Silas was forced to leave for some reason, and Mom rushed to marry Dad just to give her unborn child legitimacy?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Grace grabbed a file from the desk and threw it hard at Cassian.

"You're making up stories! You're insulting Mom!"

"I'm not making this up!"

Cassian had been absolutely devastated when he uncovered this information.

He had always been fiercely proud and never once doubted his own parentage.

But now... he wasn't so certain.

Although he shouldn't suspect his own mother, the moment he learned about the past romance between Silas and Lauren, his mind uncontrollably spiraled in that direction.
