The night came quietly, and the dim light in the room brought Rebekah back to the past.
She took the album and pointed at the first white and black photo.
The young man and woman stood together. A little boy stood by the man, and a baby girl was in the woman’s arms.
“I was abandoned by my parents when I was born. Joseph’s grandparents found me in a temple where they took a trip. They took me back, thus I became their daughter and Henry’s sister. Henry is one year older than me.”
The old Mr. Beckham was young at that time. He loved his wife, but they felt hard to have a baby. Especially his wife was even older than him. They made a great effort to have a son, so they went to the temple and wanted to get good fortune. They found the baby in the temple, and brought her back as their own daughter.
“I didn’t know I was adopted until I was seventeen. No one told me about this before.”
Looking at the pictures of Henry and Rebekah, Hayden was amazed.
“It was really hard to find it. After all, you look similar to Henry.”
Rebekah’s face turned soft as she looked at the photo. She touched the photo with her pale fingers, as if she wanted to get in touch with the past.
Maybe because they grew up together, Rebekah and Henry looked really similar. Even many people thought they were twins.
The old Beckham and his wife also thought the girl was a gift from fate, so they didn’t explain it. Rebekah didn’t know her real identity until she was seventeen.
She was spoiled by everyone in the family, so she had no preparation to fight against the malicious world. She even felt happy when she fell in love with a man at her college.
Her parents loved her, her brother took good care of her, and her lover often made surprises for her.
“I was young and naive at that time, so I didn’t know there would be liars in this world. I thought it was love, so I made up my mind to be with him. He also said we would get married when we graduated, and I trusted him.”
Speaking of this, Rebekah’s face turned paler. She seemed to remember something miserable.
“Then I got pregnant.”
Hayden was shocked as she heard this.
“So that baby is..”
Rebekah looked at Hayden, and then nodded seriously.
The accidental pregnancy scared the naive girl, though she believed she could marry her lover.
So Rebekah told this to her brother, Henry.
The respectful gentleman, Henry Beckham, fought with Zed when he heard this. The two young men fought together. It was Rebekah’s crying that stopped them.
