Unspoken Love

Chapter 19 The Truth

Jerry lifted his cane and knocked it against the ground. After knocking for a while, he whispered, "Luna

has always been your only love, right?"

Brodie remained silent.

"You love her, even if she betrayed you," Jerry said.

His conclusion was the truth.

"Bastard, you aren't worthy of Ariana! She has done so much for you. For you..."Jerry got angry.

"Mr. Covey, perhaps you're too old to tell the good from the bad. Do you think you can hide your affair

and illegitimate daughter just by driving Jessica out of the country? I bet you still don't know that she

exchanged Luna for Ariana. She did it, so Jessica could be better-off. You and your wife are Luna's

biological parents!"

Brodie struck Jerry dumb just in a few words. Jerry said in disbelief, "This ... This is impossible."

"That's the truth. Ariana already knew that she's Jessica's daughter. She has been hiding it from you,

hasn't she?"

...

After Jerry left, Brodie called Steve. "Get the car ready. We'll go to the detention center."

It was raining heavily and the rain was drumming against the ground. Brodie carried a wet umbrella and

approached Ariana from afar.

When Ariana was brought out by the officers of the detention center, she saw Brodie walking towards

her at a steady pace.

Ariana always found the way he walked attractive.

It was not just the elegance of his gait, but also the calmness he carried, as if he could silence the

entire world and everything would come to a halt because of his arrival. She couldn't help staring at

him. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

All grievances surged up within her, engulfing her. Ariana's slightly bloated eyes reddened as she

whispered, "You came. Brodie, you're finally here. Believe me, I didn't do it. Luna's death has nothing to

do with me."

Ariana kept talking and wanted to tell Brodie all of her grievances. She wished she could tell him

everything she had gone through these days.

But Brodie was expressionless.

Yes.

Brodie barely showed his emotions before others, apart from Luna. He was so careful about sharing his

feelings that it was impossible for Ariana to detect even the slightest bit of them.

She knew that Brodie didn't marry her for love, that Brodie did not see her as his fiancée at all, and that

their marriage served another purpose. She never had the courage to ask why this self-made man

wanted to marry her.

Looking at this indifferent man, she felt strange and empty again. She panicked and said, "Dad said

that I ended up here because of you. You told the police that I was behind the killing of Luna. Why do

you think so? Why would I do that? It's all a misunderstanding!"

Brodie glared at her, not even wasting another second on their talk. He just asked, "Really?" Brodie

was always polite to her and never showed any unnecessary emotions, just as in the countless days

they had spent together.

He waved his hand, and behind him Steve played out all the relevant recordings.

Included were those about how she talked the patients into killing Luna, and her confession that she

was the illegitimate daughter not Luna.

Hearing this, Ariana went deathly pale.

Suddenly, she collapsed and shouted hysterically, "Oh no! Stop! Stop!"
