Bab 452: Truths from the past

«Since I stay at Nate's, you can use my apartment,» Lara said.

Luther felt his heart sting because of her words.

Lara reminded him of Scarlet, who had remained without her ice cream because she had given it to him. Even though the twins did look more like Nate Woods, they had taken their hearts from their mother.

Lara was as worried as to find a place to stay for him. She would have offered even if she lived there, he was sure. She would have taken him in just because he needed help. The opposite of what her parents had done with her.

He bit his inner cheek, his face turning dark. Not just that his brother and Gracelyn had offended him, but they also sent their own daughter away while he couldn't protect her.

«What happened twenty years ago?» Nate inquired, noticing the shift in Luther's mood.

His mother was oddly silent, but her face did tell him enough about the situation. Something needed to be said.
