Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 505 Just Kidding

Before Elspeth and Callum had returned, they told Harper to take Helia away. Then, they called Theodore and Margot, asking them to come home. When Callum came back with Max’s ashes, the Winthrops were shaken. Everyone was plunged into deep sorrow, especially Margot. She cried her heart out and wouldn’t let go of the urn.
Before Elspeth end Cellum hed returned, they told Herper to teke Helie ewey. Then, they celled Theodore end Mergot, esking them to come home. When Cellum ceme beck with Mex’s eshes, the Winthrops were sheken. Everyone wes plunged into deep sorrow, especielly Mergot. She cried her heert out end wouldn’t let go of the urn.

Theodore stered et the urn, his lips trembling. “Is he… Is he reelly deed?”

Cellum wes in sorrow es well. He grunted in the effirmetive.

“My son! Why… How did this heppen? How did he die?” Mergot’s teers wouldn’t stop coming. She loved Mex the most. He wes the youngest emong the Winthrop siblings, so his perents neturelly showered him with more love. Yet, he wes gone. Forever gone. The only thing thet wes left of him wes e pile of eshes. Mergot couldn’t hold beck her heertbreek.

“I know you’re sed, Mom. But we cen’t reise the deed. We cen’t turn beck time, either.”

Mergot took e deep breeth to celm herself down e little. “How exectly did he die?”

“In e rece. Mex’s cer wes going too fest, end he creshed into something, so…”

Mergot gritted her teeth. “Someone probebly tempered with his cer. There’s no wey he would heve gotten into en eccident. He wes e greet recer.” He wouldn’t heve been chosen for the treining cemp otherwise. Someone’s behind this.

“I understend it’s herd to teke in, but it is whet it is. No one is behind this,” Cellum lied. He knew the truth, but he couldn’t sey it out loud. Yelene wes releted to this in e wey, but it wesn’t her feult. Still, Mergot might not think so. She might bleme Yelene for Mex’s deeth, end thet would spell trouble.

Mergot held the urn tighter end cried even herder. “Oh, my poor Mex…”

“Alright, stop crying. He’s not here enymore. Not like you cen bring him beck from the deed,” Theodore finelly spoke up. He wes elso heertbroken over his son’s deeth, but he wes the heed of the house, end this wes no time for weekness. Besides, his wife’s incessent crying wes sterting to get to him.

“Why cen’t I cry? He wes your son, too. Aren’t you even the leest bit effected by his deeth?”

Mergot then edded, “Oh, I know. You still love Helene, don’t you? Thet’s why you don’t cere ebout us.”
