Chapter 455 Mason’s Little Secret
Finished
Until now, Amelia had never imagined that her past wasn’t something shameful in Nora’s eyes. It was proof of her courage..
“Don’t worry,” Nora said, grabbing Amelia’s cold hand and squeezing it firmly. “I’m nothing like Mason’s grandmother. Actually, I noticed it a long time ago, back when you still lived with us. The way that boy looked at you is different.”
“What?” Amelia lifted her head, disbelief filling her eyes.
Nora smiled, lost in memory. “You were still young then. You’re simple and probably didn’t notice. Mason was always cold. But when it came to you, he had endless patience. I remember thinking, maybe this was good. I raised both of you. I knew where you both came from. If you ended up together one day, you
If you would be very happy.”
As she spoke, deep regret flashed across Nora’s eyes.
“But life doesn’t always go the way we want. The Harlows suddenly showed up and took you back. Then Evan got into that accident. One thing happened after another. It felt like fate was working against us. Our family just fell apart.

“I thought more than once, maybe you and our family were never meant to stay connected.”
The air grew heavy.
Something pricked Amelia’s heart.
She thought back to the time she lived with the Rowes. Night after night, she had been alone, facing their coldness and indifference.
Nora’s random words brought back all the hurt she had tried so hard to bury. It rushed through her chest, out of control, making her eyes sting and slowly turn red.
But Nora was not the type to sink into sadness for long. After a brief sigh, she quickly pulled herself out of the low mood.
A sly smile suddenly appeared on her face. She leaned closer to Amelia and lowered her voice. “Amelia, I’m going to tell you a secret about Mason. But you can’t tell him it comes from me.”
The sudden change caught Amelia off guard.
She blinked, forcing back the tears that were about to fall. Her curiosity instantly took over. “What secret?”
“After you got married, Mason was overseas; he was so busy he barely had time to sleep. He was traveling all over the world to find the best doctors for Evan. At the same time, he was managing the company.
“But during that chaotic time, I accidentally found something he was hiding in his study.”
She paused on purpose, building suspense.
Amelia’s heart tightened. She held her breath and waited.

“It was a wood carving he made himself. Just a small bust. He kept it hidden in the least noticeable corner of his bookshelf. Maybe other people wouldn’t recognize who it was. But I’m his mother. Of course I knew.”
“It was you. From your 18th birthday party. Wearing that white dress. Smiling, your eyes curved like little
moons.”
Amelia froze. Her eyes widened in shock. She could barely process what she’d just heard.
Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, louder and louder, until she almost forgot how to breathe.
“R–Really?” she heard herself say, her voice shaking.
She knew Mason could sculpt.
He was the type of person who could do anything well.
Unlike other boys who liked loud, energetic sports, he preferred quiet hobbies that needed total focus, like strategy board games and carving.
Back then, she used to wonder what Mason would become one day.
Would he stay the cool genius everyone saw and grow into a serious scientist or engineer?
