Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 308

Helena was reminded of her life after she ran away from her marriage. It was a happy moment in her life, but remembering it made her sad as well.

“I know.” Elspeth knew her mother was just trying to protect her from the Jonesons. Michael was a… for a lack of a better word, twat. She knew that after meeting him so many times.

“You silly girl.” Helena smiled at her daughter and sighed. “Why did you seek me out? If you had just lived your own life, you would have married the man you love.”

Elspeth shook her head. “I can’t rest easy until I find you.”

Isabel was surprised she was invited. This was their reunion, and now that Elspeth had returned, there was no reason for her to stay. She was wondering where she should go next.
