Chapter 68: Grant pov

Now I’m worried for a different reason, she is losing control of her emotions and is becoming increasingly upset.

“I found out who my parents are or were.”

“Were? Do you mean they are both no longer here? But I thought that woman in the park was your mum.”

“Me too. Turns out she lied. She is my mum's twin sister. She took me in when my parents died.”

“Oh, Angel.”

She shakes her head as tears spill down her cheeks and I am more desperate to gather her into my arms than ever.

“Angela isn’t even my real name.”

I stare at her in shock, clearly, this has been playing on her conscience for a long time and I never noticed. I have never been more upset about how well she can hide her emotions.

I take a risk and stand to close the distance between us. Before she can evade me, I take her into my arms and hold her hoping to provide comfort and support.
