The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 That’s for the Best

That girl wanted a family so badly–why was I so cold back then, pushing her away and throwing such harsh words at her?

“Wade, what’s wrong? You okay?”

Kyla noticed how Wade kept staring at Tilda’s back as she walked away, and her heart just sank.

She tugged on Wade’s sleeve gently. Her voice was soft as she pulled him back to reality.

Wade shook his head and brushed Kyla’s hair with his hand, smiling weakly. “It’s nothing…

“Wade, I know you’re thinking about Tilda. She’s your real sister, your blood. It’s not too late. Go after her. If you talk to her I’m sure she’ll listen to you!”

Kyla’s eyes filled with tears as she said it. She looked down, clutching Wade’s arm tightly.

“There’s no going back, silly gifl. Maybe it’s better this way. The Jensons already have you, Kyla–there’s no room for Tilda anymore. Maybe… that’s for the best.”

Wade lowered his eyes and held Kyla’s hand gently, his voice soft.

The guilt for Tilda still sat heavily in his chest.

He knew without doubt that Tilda was his real sister, lost for 19 years. The DNA test proved it.

But even if she came back, Wade was sure he couldn’t love Tilda more than he loved Kyla.

Because Kyla was the one he grew up with, the little sister he had spoiled forever.

And it wasn’t just Wade.

The other brothers felt the same.

Even Russell and Blair thought the same way.

To the Jensons, Tilda was just extra.

She could never compare to Kyla, Wade thought.

If she came back, she’d only suffer.

So, it’s better to leave things as they are–it’s easier for both the Jensons and Tilda,

“Wade…”

Kyla bit her lip and threw herself into his arms, tears shining in her eyes.

“I really hate myself… If I hadn’t been with the Jensons, none of this would have happened.

“I should be the one to go. I’m the one who doesn’t belong. Because of me, Tilda-”

Wade pressed his hand to her lips, cutting her off.

“That’s enough, Kyla Stop. You’re just too kind, too soft. You always take everything on yourself. It must’ve been hard.

“And this isn’t on you. It’s us. We just can’t face our own hearts.”

Tilda had no clue what Wade and Kyla were saying.

And even if she did, it wouldn’t matter anymore.

Chapter 31 That’s for the Best

She’d felt disappointment, sadness, and pain so much that she was numb.

Nothing could hurt worse than Blair’s words at Sky Dining last night.

To the Jensons, Kyla was worth everything, while Tilda was worth nothing.

At the college entrance, Tilda saw Una waiting excitedly, with a backpack on her shoulders as she stood on tiptoe.

At least… I’m not alone.

I’ve found what truly matters, what has always been right beside me.
