Chapter 392 Uncovering My Wife's Secrets
Heather woke up early in the morning. As soon as Heather got up, Lee woke up. He turned his head and asked gently, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Heather said with a smile, "Well, it's a holiday, and I don't wanna sleep late." "It's alright. You can sleep a little longer if you want. From now on, we can spend every day like a holiday," Lee said, his voice tinged with languor. Last night, they set off fireworks till one in the morning. After that, they stayed up late talking with each other until past three in the morning and went to sleep when they couldn't take it anymore. Back in the room, Lee was aroused and had sex with her before falling asleep.
It was almost dawn before they went to bed. Lee estimated that they only had one hour of sleep at most. Heather said, "Get up. We should be getting ready to visit other relatives. Come on, it's a tradition in our family. After the holiday, I want to make a trip to Horington and meet Kent. It's all thanks to him taking care of Anna for so many years." When Lee heard that Heather wanted to see Kent, his expression changed slightly. Heather was surprised. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." Lee did not want Heather to be unhappy during the holiday. Still, as soon as Lee looked away, Heather felt that something was wrong. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's really fine. Let's get up. Come, you don't have to wear a coat at home. You can just wear this vest," Lee said as he helped Corona carry the vest. Heather sat on the bed and looked at Lee with a serious expression. "What happened to Kent? Is he still alive?" she asked. Her first reaction was to wonder if her brother was sick or had passed away. "Don't worry, he's alive and well," Lee said. How could a selfish person like Kent not live well? "Then what was that look on your face?" asked Heather, still a little worried. Lee helped Corona put on her vest with a gentle smile and said. "I just don't want to go to Horington. Well, I think we should still go there after the holiday and remove that tomb. It's inauspicious."
Heather smiled and said, "Oh, no wonder. I see." Heather was in a car accident 17 years ago. Kent prepared a cemetery for her and erected a monument in memory of her. The two of them got up and washed up before going out for breakfast. It was surprising that everyone else woke up earlier than them. At the sight of them, Annalise and Julian immediately greeted them. "Dad, Mom, good morning!" The servant also greeted politely, "Mrs. Xander, Mr. Xander, good morning." "Morning, everyone," Lee said with a smile. "Morning!" Heather was a little embarrassed when she realized that she was the last to get up. Lee could tell that at a glance. With a smile, he reached out to hold her hand and said, "Come, let's have breakfast." After sitting down, Heather felt a little more at ease.
Sybil was forthright in character. When Heather asked, Sybil told her the truth. "That's right. Anna was left in the countryside when she was six years old and couldn't even be fed well. She was skinny. Fortunately, she met Master Quigley, who was kind-hearted enough and saved her. Otherwise, who knows if Anna would have grown up alive?" Heather's anger surged when she heard that. "Kent left her to the countryside?" Sybil nodded and said, "That's right! People are profit seekers. In this world, how many people do crazy things for benefits?" When she thought of the series of dirty things that Kent and his family had done, Sybil felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. Others might not know, but Sybil had been in contact with Henry for a long time. She knew all too well. Back then, Old Mr. Parks had decided to let Julian marry Abigail, Kent's daughter.
Before Old Mr. Parks went to Horington, Julian deliberately spread the news that he was 52 years old and ugly. When Abigail found out that Julian was old and ugly, she snatched Annalise's boyfriend. Later, the family found out that Julian was young and handsome and wanted to go back on their word. Heather gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, people are profit seekers." Back then, Kent had sworn to her that they would treat Annalise as his daughter. Unexpectedly, he only raised Annalise for three years. Lee knew that Sybil was a straightforward person. He was afraid that Sybil would say something that displeased Heather. He chatted with his father and Jolene for a while before coming to look for Heather. He shouted from afar, "Heather!"
