The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 759

That was the secret that no one ever knew about.

Kira was beautiful and was connected to the Jadesons, so many rich families actually favored having her as their daughter-in-law.

What no one knew, however, was that she was already in love with someone else.

The man she loved could never be exposed because he would never be accepted.

Kira stood outside the room, but she could still hear the conversation.

Devin, who had always been patient, was growling angrily, “Mom, what the hell are you doing? She’s not a kid anymore. How can you hit her like this?”

“What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to discipline her?”

“You’re not her mom. You’re just an aunt. Yet, you are hurting her for no reason at all. I don’t even know if my uncles will be mad upon learning this,” informed Devin with a terrible expression. His tone was harsh as well.

Jasmine was even angrier after hearing how her own son was reprimanding her. She dissed, “Oh, like they’d have any ground to get angry? If it hadn’t been for me, none of them would be living a life that prestigious. So what if I lay a hand on one of their children? They still won’t dare to speak up to me!”

“Mom!”

Devin was so angry with his mom that he was going insane.

How can she possibly be so unreasonable? Kira is a person, not an item! Besides, doesn’t she have an obligation to help her own family out? Why is she behaving like she is a merciful goddess just because she is doing something she is supposed to do, anyway?

Devin was so disappointed that words couldn’t describe his feelings. He was too tired to keep arguing with his mom, though.

“I don’t want to argue with you. The bottom line is this. If I see something like this happening again, I will leave this house and never set foot in here again,” warned Devin strictly.

After that, he stepped forward and left.

Jasmine was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She shouted, “You little punk. How dare you threaten your own mother? Is that it? You’re all strong now, so you’re rebelling?”

Bang!

Kira, who had been waiting outside, heard that loud noise. That got her entire body to tremble, and she turned even paler.

My aunt had never seen me as family.

Kira grinned bitterly.

Devin exited the room and saw that Kira was still there. He was taken aback and blurted, “Oh, you’re still here.”

Kira had her gaze down and nodded.

Devin didn’t know how to respond to that.

He saw how pitiful she looked, but he couldn’t find the right words to say. Hence, he ended up being quiet for a moment before suggesting, “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”

Kira’s eyes turned watery as tears of appreciation gathered in them. She nodded.

Late at night, the city’s noise and activities were replaced with silence and solemnity. The streetlights illuminated the roads and got the trees to cast their shadows on the ground. Every once in a while, a few random lonely figures would show up at the side of the road and make the place seem even lonelier.

Kira sat in the car, but no one knew what she was thinking.

“You should stop dropping by,” advised Devin, who frowned and tried to break the silence when he noticed that she hadn’t spoken in a while.
