Chapter 144

Brielle feared that if Mark kept letting his emotions get the better of him, he might just work himself into a frenzy. “Mark, I’m fine, really. Spencer and I might be engaged, but it’ll probably be called off soon. I don’t like him, so it’s not like I’m heartbroken.”

“Sweetheart, do you think I don’t know you? When you insisted on taking Lillian with you, it was because you cared too deeply. What Lillian did was like stabbing you in the heart. How could you not be hurt? Now, I almost wish you weren’t a Haywood, so you wouldn’t have to put up with their nonsense.”

Brielle fell silent, knowing that a person’s heart can only hold so much disappointment. She was like a sponge that had soaked up all the water it could; even if an ocean swept over it, not another drop could be absorbed. The process of soaking it all up had been painful, but now she was numb.

Outside the orphanage, another person arrived. It was Cameron. The atmosphere turned even more awkward. With the Haywood family scandal, he couldn’t keep playing possum and had to come, albeit reluctantly.

Cameron’s face was grim, and he deliberately avoided looking at Lillian. Heaven knows how devastated he felt seeing that video. He’d always seen Lillian as someone to walk through life with, and she had never outright rejected him, but then she had a fling with Spencer.

Cameron felt queasy, yet he couldn’t suppress the flicker of affection he still felt for her, so he’d been deliberately avoiding the issue. When he got the news, he still couldn’t help coming here. He was still worried about her. Years of affection weren’t shattered by just one video.
