The mansion of the Espina family was not very luxurious, on the contrary, it was very warmly decorated, and in the courtyard there were many flowers, which were taken care of by Bianca, the lady of the Espina family.
When Hector arrived home, he saw his mother watering the flowers in the yard. Bianca noticed some movement at the door, straightened her back to take a look and showed a smile when she saw Hector.
Bianca was very pretty, but when they first saw her, the first thing they noticed was not her looks, but her impressive temperament.
She was gentle and elegant, with a very comfortable aura. As she aged, she had only slight wrinkles on her face, which not only did not spoil her beauty, but gave her a little more grace and calm.
-Hector, why are you back so early today? I usually have to call you many times to come home.
Bianca looked at her eldest son with tenderness and love.
Hector was her eldest son, to whom much was expected from a young age. This son had a calm and firm personality, and from a very young age he was no longer capricious, therefore, Bianca treated him with more affection.
Hearing his mother’s words, Hector quickly approached her and took the watering can from her hand, and took her by the hand to lead her towards the living room.
-Mom, I came back today to tell you something.
Bianca looked sideways at her son with a smile.
-What’s wrong? Let me guess, you have a girlfriend?
Hector’s eyes filled with helplessness.
Parents liked to urge their children to get married. In the past he was so busy working and looking for his sister that he didn’t have time to fall in love.
His mother even thought he was gay, and after much anguish, she told him that she didn’t care if he was gay and that he could bring his boyfriend home for a meal together.
Finally Hector had a hard time convincing his mother that he was straight and just hadn’t met a suitable girl yet.
-It’s not that, it’s something else,” he said vaguely, then looked at his mother and asked in a low voice, “Mom, is Diana home today?
-Diana?
Bianca froze for a moment, and looked at her son doubtfully.
She knew that her eldest son and Diana had not gotten along well since they were little, and when they had decided to adopt Diana, he had had the rare occasion to get angry with them. But, in the end he had taken the initiative to let them adopt Diana, seeing that they had been plunging into misery.
Thinking of this, Bianca remembered her own lost daughter again and her heart ached as if pricked with needles.
She quickly removed this sad emotion, fearing that her son was worried about her, and said mockingly:
-Why do you suddenly ask about Diana? Will you also tell her that important thing?
Hector shook his head.
-On the contrary, we can’t let her know about this matter.
Hearing this, Bianca became serious, knowing that Hector really had something important to say.
-Diana had work last night and still hasn’t returned.
Hector nodded his head.
-Well, where’s Adrian?
Bianca’s head hurt when he mentioned her youngest son.
-He insisted on sleeping at his classmate’s house last night and he’s still not back. I guess he’ll be back by noon.
Hector was even more relieved.
As soon as the two entered the living room, they saw a maid with a friendly face approach them.
-Madam… Mr. Hector?
The maid was surprised to see Hector.
-Look, I’m not the only one who finds your return so early strange, Doria is also surprised.
Bianca covered her mouth to laugh lightly beside him.
Hector looked at the maid with indifference.
Doria, whose real name was Doria Reyes, was the nanny who had taken care of his sister back then.
Doria shuddered unconsciously at Hector’s gaze, and felt a shiver run down her back.
She hastily bowed her head and said:
-Madam, the clothes are washed.
-Okay, go out and water the flowers and go rest when you’re done,” Bianca instructed.
Doria nodded her head hurriedly and left quickly.
She knew that Mr. Hector always disliked her for losing his favorite sister, so whenever Hector was home, she avoided him.
Hector kept his eyes fixed on her figure, watching her honest and simple movements, and frowned.
Doria had been a real hard worker over the years, and had never made a mistake since that incident.
Bianca noticed his expression and knew what he was thinking. She sighed and patted the back of Hector’s hand.
-I know you still care a lot about that incident, but we checked all the surveillance cameras and that incident really had nothing to do with Doria. She is a nanny, but she is also a human being, we cannot forbid her to go to the bathroom.
Bianca showed a look of self-blame. She believed it was her fault, as she had not organized everything properly and had only sent Doria to take care of her daughter because there was not enough staff.
He hadn’t expected someone to do such damage to them at the party.
Seeing that his mother was about to cry, Hector rushed to put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
-Mom, don’t cry. If Dad sees you crying, he’ll lecture me…..
-What?
A deep, majestic voice suddenly came from behind him.
Hector stiffened, turned to see his father’s majestic face and smiled awkwardly.
-Nothing, nothing.
Bianca was amused by her son’s behavior, wiped the corners of her eyes, walked over to her husband and grabbed his arm.
-Hector has something important to tell us, something very important.
Antonio glanced at his son, took his wife by the waist, then lifted her chin.
-Let’s go to the study.
Hector nodded and hurried to follow them.
It was an important matter, and before Albina returned home, only her parents could know about it.
As soon as they entered the study, Hector immediately closed the door.
He looked so serious and alert that his parents became nervous as well.
-What’s wrong? You look so weird!
Hector stood up in front of his parents and the first sentence he said was like a thunderclap.
-I found my sister.
There was silence in the studio, and Hector’s parents looked stunned.
Hector had expected such a reaction from his parents and waited silently for them to react.
-What did you say?
It was the father who reacted first.
He had a somewhat serious countenance and looked like a middle-aged version of Hector, who, due to his age and experience, his eyes were not as charming as Hector’s, but very pretty.
Normally he could keep his cool no matter what, but this time, hearing his eldest son’s words, he lost his grace a bit.
He rose abruptly from his chair and pulled Hector up.
-Tell me clearly, who did you find?
Hector looked at his father who was excited, although he had already found Albina and met her, he was still infected by his father’s excitement and his eyes were slightly reddened.
-I have found my sister, I have already done a DNA test and I can be one hundred percent sure.
