Nevertheless, Nitzan still told Elaina the truth. “Actually, I don’t know much. When this happened, I happened to come to New York and learned it by chance.”
“By chance?” Elaina didn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.
“Fine, it was Dexter. I got to know him when he was still a servant in the Gainsford family. He was the one who told me about this.” Nitzan knew that Elaina did not believe him, so he did not intend to hide it.
Since things had already come to this point, what was the point of hiding it?
“Was it my grandfather? Why did he tell you?” Elaina did not understand. Logically speaking, her grandfather should have concealed this matter. There was no reason for him to tell Nitzan.
“When Dexter and I were in Boston, we were very close. Later, he brought you to the Peach Village in New York. In order not to attract attention, he could not use the Gainsford family’s resources. I had been helping him all those years,” Nitzan said.
Elaina listened and seemed to understand something.
But she immediately thought of something and asked, “So my marriage with Jalen…”
“That’s right. Dexter wanted to repay me in this way. No, you should consider it as a way your grandfather wanted to protect you,” Nitzan sighed.
He continued, “In that situation, no one knew when your father would come to pick you up and bring you back to the Gainsford family. Your grandfather must plan ahead for your future.
“Although the Halton family is far inferior to the Gainsford family, we still have some strength in New York. At least we can protect you. That’s why Dexter made this decision.”
After Elaina heard this, she already believed most of it.
Although Dexter was not her biological grandfather, from the years they lived together, Elaina knew that he had been trying his best to treat her well.
After a long silence, Elaina came to her senses. “What about my mother? After she gave birth to me…”
“She seems to have died,” Nitzan said. He knew that his words were hurtful, but he still spoke truthfully.
“Are you not sure about it?” Elaina frowned. She wondered, can’t he give me a firm answer whether she has died or not?
Nitzan smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “At that time, only your father was present. Your father said she died, and the others could not find evidence against it. After all, your father did set up a tombstone for your mother.”
In Nitzan’s opinion, Elaina’s mother must have died. If she had not died, Peter would definitely not have done that.
“I understand.” Elaina nodded. She seemed to have asked almost all the questions in her mind. At this moment, she did not know what else to ask. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Seeing her like this, Nitzan thought of Jalen and said, “Jalen actually doesn’t know about your identity. You should be able to see his feelings for you.”
“Does he really not know about my identity?” Elaina was a little suspicious.
“At least he didn’t know when he fell in love with you. I was the one who took the initiative to tell him the truth later.” Nitzan didn’t want to tell lies.
He didn’t want to see Jalen and Elaina have any misunderstandings because of this.
Unfortunately, Elaina didn’t think so.
Perhaps because she now knew that Nitzan was nice to her before because of her true identity, now she carried a bit of doubt in what he said.
“No matter what, thank you for telling me this,” Elaina thanked Nitzan. She did not want to think about anything else for the time being.
At this moment, her mind was a mess. After so many years, she had always thought that she was really a little girl from Peach Village. Who would have thought that everything was not that simple?
Elaina thought of her father whom she had never seen before. Since he knew of her existence, why had he not come to see her for so many years?
Elaina assumed that perhaps he had already forgotten her existence.
