Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308
Helena was reminded of her life after she ran away from her marriage. It was a happy moment in her life, but remembering it made her sad as well.

“I know.” Elspeth knew her mother was just trying to protect her from the Jonesons. Michael was a… for a lack of a better word, twat. She knew that after meeting him so many times.

“You silly girl.” Helena smiled at her daughter and sighed. “Why did you seek me out? If you had just lived your own life, you would have married the man you love.”

Elspeth shook her head. “I can’t rest easy until I find you.”

“Let’s not talk about the sad stuff on our first meeting. I’ll make some tea for you.” Helena was a woman of grace. She loved making tea. Every time she had a guest, she would make tea for them.

Delighted, Elspeth nodded. She turned around and saw Isabel trying to hide herself. Ah, she’s worried. “Come in, Isabel.”

Isabel was surprised she was invited. This was their reunion, and now that Elspeth had returned, there was no reason for her to stay. She was wondering where she should go next.

“Don’t just stand there. I have to thank you for taking care of my mother.”

Isabel hung her head low sheepishly. “Miss Joneson took me in and cared for me. I did nothing, really.”

She’s worried I might take everything she has away. Elspeth smiled. “You’re my mother’s daughter too. That makes you my sister. Come. We’re family.”

A sister? Nobody has ever told me that. Isabel teared up. She never thought she would have a family one day, but here she was.

“Come, Isabel.”

Isabel steeled herself. Slowly, she approached Elspeth and held her hand. “I’ll get you some cookies, Elsie.”

Helena smiled. She’s generous and kind.

They entered the house, and Elspeth looked around. The air was filled with the smell of incense, and it freshened her up.

“So, have you been well?” Oh, that was a stupid question to ask, Helena. “Ah, sorry. I shouldn’t have asked that. I can see that you’ve been well.”

Surprised, Elspeth asked, “You’ve been keeping an eye on me?”

Helena took a sip of her tea. “Yes. The woman who gave you the bouquet of flowers after your performance? The woman you met in the hospital? That was me.”

Elspeth’s eyes went wide in shock. “I suspected it was you. I knew it.”
