Chapter 513
Blossom paused for a moment before she said, “Zane’s been asking who your husband is, but I’m clueless too. He just told me to find a way to get it out of you p>
“What does he want with my husband?” Elysia asked.
“He says it’s for your own good. He wants to track down your husband and then confront him, urging him to divorce you ASAP p>
Elysia knew Zane meant well, but this only unsettled her more. She felt there was something off about how Zane was acting towards her.
Blossom continued, “He also told me not to let you know he came to me in secret, but I figured you had your reasons for keeping quiet. Sneaking around to get information from you felt wrong. I didn’t want to do that p>
“Yeah. Blossom, thanks for understanding p>
“What are you thanking me for? We’re sisters. Whatever you decide, I’ve got your back p>
After thinking it over, Elysia said, “The reason I haven’t said anything is because my husband and I had a secret wedding and signed a confidentiality agreement when we got married. Talking about it, whether for me or for him, just wouldn’t be right p>
Blossom was surprised, “You signed a confidentiality agreement to get married p>
“Yeah p>
“This isn’t like getting married at all, it’s like making a business deal p>
Elysia’s marriage was indeed a business deal between the Thorne family and the Bradford family! She always said Tarin had a bunch of crazy relatives. Well, wasn’t it the same around her? The Thorne family, every single one of them was a character!
Blossom was furious, “I knew it! You were doing so well in school, why on earth did you suddenly drop out to get married?! Did your foster parents force you p>
“Yeah p>
“Those monsters p>
“But, being forced to drop out and get married also led me to cut ties with them. I don’t see it as a loss, don’t feel bad for me, it’s all in the past now.” Blossom’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, “You were working so hard on your studies, looking forward to the future, and then to be forced to drop out! And after that, to be forced into marrying someone you didn’t love! Elysia, how painful that must have been for you p>
Was it painful? It was p>
She wasn’t the brightest, but she had worked tirelessly, averaging less than four hours of sleep a day during her senior year. They say the early bird catches the worm, and she was that bird, using her diligence to get into the college of her dreams. Only to be forced by her foster parents to drop out after just over a year.
Seeing Blossom cry, Elysia quickly wiped her hands on her apron and passed Blossom a tissue to dry her tears, “There, there, it’s all in the past. I didn’t tell you or Winona back then because I didn’t want you to feel bad for me p>
But Blossom was deeply upset, “Being forced to drop out, forced into marriage, and then slandered by some jerk, leading your husband to disdain you, saying you were unfaithful, subjecting you to ridicule… Elysia, how did you endure those dark times all by yourself p>
Elysia offered a faint smile, “Things changed when I got pregnant, didn’t they? From then on, I wasn’t alone anymore. My kids helped me chase away the darkness and led me towards the light. Look at me now, I’ve reached the light at the end of the tunnel, so don’t feel bad for me, okay p>
Blossom sobbed, “You deserve all the happiness in the world after what you’ve been through. It’s like the universe owes it to you p>
Elysia laughed, “The universe doesn’t owe me anything. I’m content with my wonderful sons p>
“That’s not enough! You should have more to make up for all the hurt you’ve faced p>
“More?!” Elysia laughed, “Most people have one or two kids, and here I am, outperforming with my bunch. I’m already ahead of the game.” Blossom mumbled, “To be fair, your kids’ dad did quite the job, managing to have so many in one go p>
Elysia’s cheeks flushed red. It wasn’t just one time. Back then, she was dizzy and confused by his touch, but she could remember, it was at least three times!
