When Margot came downstairs in the morning, she saw Alina sitting in the dining room with a gloomy face, and Chester was even in the kitchen. Margot was instantly terrified and she was about to turn around subconsciously.
However, Alina had already seen her.
“Margot, come and sit down.”
There was some embarrassment on Margot’s face, but she still went forward, “Miss Hughes, when did you come back last night?”
Alina, “It was rather late, are you alright?”
“Yes, your man came just in time.”
When talking about this, Margot’s gaze towards Alina became more inquisitive.
She had many questions that she wanted to ask Alina.
However, for a while, she didn’t know where to start.
Alina glanced at Chester who was busy in the kitchen, “Let’s go to the study first.”
She didn’t want to see that man, but she couldn’t get rid of him.
Plus, the matter of Margot was a matter of urgency now, so she didn’t bother to pay attention to Chester, he could do whatever he liked.
Margot sat opposite Alina in the study.
Neither of them spoke for a long time, as if they didn’t know where to start, especially for Alina, it was really too difficult.
“Why did Paisley target me?” Margot finally managed to break the silence.
Alina would come back, not only because of her, but because of Paisley.
Alina, “Because she wants the Hughes family, she wants Joslan Hughes International.”
“What does that have to do with me?” At this answer from Alina, Margot was even more puzzled, not understanding what it meant.
Alina looked at her, wanting to speak but not to.
It was too difficult for her.
No one knew how exactly she had come through that time when Alina knew she was a member of the Ajax family.
On the one hand, she was happy that she actually had family in the world.
And on the other hand, even though the Hughes family was all gone, she didn’t want to lose the Hughes family.
But after knowing that she was a member of the Ajax family, that meant that the Hughes family was not hers and she would lose it too.
The descendant of the Hughes family would live on and carry on in the Hughes family in her place.
She was so reluctant to give up, wanting to be tied to the Hughes family forever, yet she had no chance at all.
It turned out that to lose was so painful for a person.
After looking at Margot’s confusion, Alina took a deep breath, “Because you are the only person left in the Hughes family.”
At the sound of her words, Margot instantly stiffened at this moment.
Her pupils tightened as she looked at Alina, and her mind went blank.
Alina looked at Margot’s shocking reaction, and her heart was aching.
The study was quiet.
For a long, long time, neither of them took the initiative to speak.
In the minds of both Margot and Alina, there was the past was racing fast.
“What did you say?” Margot finally spoke to Alina.
Unbelievingly, she looked at Alina!
She didn’t think she had heard correctly.
Alina, “You are the only person left in the Hughes family.”
“…”
“I…”
Alina suddenly didn’t know how to continue, aching from her heart.
Every time she lost someone in the Hughes family, it would hurt like this. Now it still hurts when she faces it again.
It was as if the Hughes family had become a scar on her heart, so painful that she could not suppress.
“I’m so sorry!” In the end, Alina looked at Margot and said in a somewhat tight tone.
Margot felt her brain go blank.
She had heard it thoroughly. But how was it possible?
The way her parents had treated her all these years made it clear that she wasn’t their biological daughter at all, but what she didn’t expect was that she was related to the Hughes family!
“What is this about?” Margot finally spoke up, looking towards Alina in a daze.
She was utterly at a loss for how to react.
To Alina, when the difficult beginning was made, some of the things that followed were naturally going to be much smoother to say.
She looked at Margot and told her the whole story of what happened to the Hughes family back then.
The only thing she skipped was the part about Miss Elliott sending her to the Hughes family and then sending the Hughes family’s child out to hide.
It was too hard for her.
She couldn’t even face it herself, as far as Margot…
So when it came to this part, she changed it to there was a mistake in the hospital.
“What about my adoptive parents’ child?” Margot caught the point, if there was a mistake in the hospital, then what about their child?
Alina, “I don’t know!”
Margot looked at Alina with a trembling body, only to feel that her world was falling apart.
Alina, “Paisley probably has some grudges with the Hughes family, so ever since I started looking for the descendant of the Hughes family.”
“Actually, it wasn’t just Paisley, there were other people, but they’ve all been checked out by me.”
“…”
“And Paisley is one of the more difficult people. Right now, I haven’t found out exactly what her purpose is for this pestering.”
“…”
“But don’t worry, I’ll take care of all these things and won’t let the Hughes family be affected by her.”
Margot was trembling as she sat down on the chair, quivering at the moment and her face was ashen white.
Alina took Margot’s hand, “Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
Margot looked at Alina.
Her eyes were instantly red, originally since her grandmother had passed away, she had always felt that there was no longer any family in this world that belonged to her.
It turned out that this feeling had a reason!
Like now!
“I’m the only person left in the Hughes family?” Opening her mouth, there was sadness in her voice.
Alina’s heart instantly ached.
Yes, even if she returned to the Hughes family, she was the only one left in the entire Hughes family.
Regarding Margot’s past, Alina had naturally done countless investigations and knew what kind of life she had led in her adoptive parents’ family.
Her grandmother was the only one who loved her, but had passed away.
And in her adoptive parents’ family, she had hardly ever received any love.
“And me!” Alina grabbed Margot’s hand tightly.
Even if the Hughes family had Margot, she was still a member of the Hughes family, right? Alina thought this in her heart.
“But you have to go too.”
Margot said with her heart even more choked as she eyed at Alina.
Alina was now a member of the Ajax family, so she would definitely leave the Hughes family as well, and there would really be nothing left of the Hughes family.
“There are also Andre and Aunt Luna, if you return to the Hughes family, you will never be alone.”
Alina comforted Margot in this way.
Margot lowed her head, her tears fell on the back of Alina’s hand, and Alina only felt that her heart was burning.
