“You’re not interested, even if it’s about your life and birth?“
“What life and birth?“
“I knew you would be interested.“
Aura curled her lips into a smile. “Get in, I won’t eat you.“
Aura brought Luna to a coffee shop nearby. “Spit it out.“
Sitting on the chair, Luna sucked in a deep breath
and looked at the woman in front of her with cold eyes.
Aura sipped her coffee. “I wanted to give some time as a buffer…“
Then, she set down the cup of coffee in her hands. “ Hearing me saying I want to discuss your life and birth with you, do you think, you might very
possibly not be, Mom and Dad’s child?“ Luna frowned and said nothing.
“It’s understandable if you think that. After all, all these years Mom and Dad treated you like an adopted daughter. But the truth is in fact the complete opposite.“
Aura switched into a more comfortable position and lay her back on the sofa. “I’m not their biological daughter.“
Luna’s hand that was holding her cup paused in mid-air.
After a long while, she finally found her voice. “How is that possible…“
Her parents loved Aura dearly. They bought her the best, the most expensive items. As her elder sister, Luna could only get her pass-me-downs.
And now Aura was saying, she was not their biological daughter?!
“I’m not entirely unrelated to them.“
Aura raised her hand and rubbed her fingers against the ceramic cup. “I am Dad’s biological daughter. We share the same father but were born to different mothers. When Dad had an affair, my mother and Natasha got pregnant at the same time. When she was pregnant, my mother broke up with Dad. She didn’t want me from the moment I was born. How could Dad let me suffer all alone in the world? So he quietly switched me and your biological sister. I became the second daughter of the Gibson family, while your biological sister was sent to an orphanage.“
