Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1420 The Family’s History

I intentionally made that remark.

Suddenly, I noticed the old man glancing at me.

I had heard about the Pierce family's history from Grandma Rose.

When the Pierce family first arrived in Nocturnia, things weren't easy for them. Their fortunes had completely turned around only after David had married the eldest daughter of the Cross family.

I figured this mansion must have been built during that time. Everything about it, from its location and architectural style to the overall maintenance of the courtyard, exuded an ancient style. However, Celine's mother was just a mistress who favored luxury and fashion, so she wouldn't have liked it here. Even if she had, she wouldn't have been entitled to live here, as it belonged to the eldest daughter of the Cross family. So it was only natural that Celine had never lived here.

The drizzle continued, and I couldn't be bothered to contend with Celine. Instead, I strolled leisurely in the courtyard, admiring the view of the garden. I didn't venture into other parts of the yard without permission.

I felt Celine and Kenzie's venomous gazes following me the whole time.

I hadn't expected Atlas to spend over two hours with his grandpa in the room, which left Celine, who had been waiting outside, feeling restless.

There was no way she was in the mood to deal with me now. I was sure she was feeling guilty.
