Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Very soon, Anya had finished cooking, so Lola stopped arguing with Blake and held Elspeth’s hand while returning inside, leaving an angry man behind them.

At the dining table, Nicholas kept spacing out and could no longer suppress his curiosity. So, he looked at Elspeth’s familiar-looking face and asked, “Elspeth, may I take the liberty of asking a question?”

Smiling, she agreed. “I can feel you’re overflowing with questions. I don’t mind. Just ask away. I will tell you everything I know.”

He nodded and asked, “What is your father’s name?”

“My father…” Elspeth seemed to have spaced out. “His name is Davion Lynwood.”

Instantly, the atmosphere at the table froze.

Seeing that Nicholas was silent, she added, “What’s the matter? Do you know my dad?”

“I don’t just know him. Elspeth, do you remember your mom’s name?”

After a moment’s silence, she answered, “Helena Joneson.”

When he heard that familiar name, his eyes teared up uncontrollably. He wanted to express the truth but realized Lola and Blake were still present. Therefore, he suppressed his urge to speak to avoid making Elspeth feel awkward.

“That’s all. What a nice name. Maybe I’d mistaken her for another person.”

Once lunch ended, Elspeth took the chance when Lola and Blake returned to the garden to head to Nicholas’

room.

Nicholas and Anya were inside. When they saw her, they inexplicably began to shed tears. “Elspeth…”

By now, Elspeth had figured out the gist of things and asked, “So, I’m a Joneson. Is that correct?”

She clearly remembered that her mom had never mentioned having any relationships with the Jonesons from Blayda!. Moreover, she thought her mom came from an ordinary family because her dad was just an average carpenter.

“Not only that, your mom is my biological sister and your grandfather’s only daughter,”

Elspeth had heard of the Jonesons from Blaydal. About twenty years ago, the Jonesons’ daughter ran away from her marriage, allegedly to have eloped with a famous sculptor.

As Old Mr. Joneson loved his daughter so much and was afraid of ruining her image, he suppfessed the news and did not release the man’s name or picture. Later, the matter was gradually forgotten, and the Jonesons also tacitly agreed not to acknowledge her.

Elspeth did not expect that she had such a close relationship with the incident that caused a huge stir at Blaydal back then.

“Did you know? My dad has been looking for your mam for ages but never found any trace of her.” Nicholas wiped his tears. “Our family’s only daughter ran away with a man called Davion Lynwood, and my dad was so pissed that he needed to be hospitalized.”

Elspeth felt her heart skip a beat as she would never have imagined her gentle and frail mom to be so brave.

*Fortunately, Davion was a well-known sculptor back then, so he might have treated your mom well and not let her suffer any grievances…”
