The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 1314

Chapter 1314 

Maisie was stunned. “He didn‘t like her?” 

Alfred sighed. “Lorraine came from the maternal side of the family and is considered a distant relative. Although it was already in the post–reform era, the Wolfsbanes were a huge and wealthy family at that time and retained some feudal ideology. 

“Mr. Summers was a boy, so he had better education, but Lorraine‘s story was different. She didn‘t have the opportunity to attend school at that time, so her education level was different from that of Mr. Summers, and it was difficult to get along with someone whose ideas and concepts were so distinct from hers. 

“What‘s more, Lorraine was Mr. Summers‘s cousin, so in other words, he was forced to marry his own cousin. Even though they weren‘t closely related, still, not many people could accept it back then.” 

Maisie was a little surprised to hear that. Marriages between close relatives were basically an ancient tradition. It was very common before the late 19th century, especially amongst large and prestigious families in which they wanted to preserve the family‘s wealth, maintain geographic proximity, and keep traditions. 

It was just like the royal families of some countries nowadays–they were still keen on marriages between close relatives, which was not acceptable to everyone. 

Maisie did not expect that Rowena‘s parents would get connected through such a tie. 

She placed the photo frame back and thought of something. “Grandfather claimed that he brought Rowena in and raised her because of the death of her parents. Is that true?” 

“That‘s right.” Alfred nodded and explained slowly, “It was only after Lorraine‘s death that Elder Master Goldmann brought Rowena with him. He also promised the Summers he would take good care of Rowena. Sigh, Elder Master Goldmann wouldn‘t be that disappointed if Rowena hadn‘t done something like that back then.” 

Maisie asked out of the blue, “What about her father?” 

Alfred was about to answer the question, but Nolan appeared at the door at that moment. ““If you want to know about these, why didn‘t you ask.me?” 

Maisie was startled at first but then walked up to him with a smile. “That was fast.” 

He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Was it fast?” 

Nolan caught her and pinched her chin. Wow, you can‘t wait any longer, huh?” “Yes, I can‘t wait any longer. Now let me in!” She laughed angrily and pushed Nolan into the room. 

“Aren‘t you tired of talking while standing?” He sat on the edge of the bed, still holding her in his arms, and answered her seriously , ‘The Summers gave Rowena to my grandfather right after Aunt Summers passed away. Uncle Summers was already out of the equation at that time.” 

She was slightly stunned. 

Nolan continued calmly. “Uncle Summers was found dead in a foreign country a few years later. I heard that he got stabbed several times by a robber and died.” 

Maisie lowered her gaze, and her eyelashes trembled. “So that‘s her story...” 

Nolan caressed her cheek with his palm.” In addition to helping the Summers take care of Rowena because of the kindness he received from them back when he was a kid, my grandfather sympathized with her backstory. 

“She spent more time with her mother since she was a child, but her mother did not treat her well because she was a girl, and she didn‘t get to see her father very often. So, perhaps Rowena‘s existence reminded my grandfather of the fact that he himself couldn‘t be by my father‘s side when he was a kid. As for my father, he may not be where he is today if it weren‘t for the Summer who took him in as if he was their biological grandson.”
