My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 65

When Yvette was a little girl, she had drowned while playing in the village pond.

Why in the world would Jasper even know her at all?

He certainly wasn't related to Aunt Helen in any way. In the twenty years that Willow had lived with her, she'd never heard the Hughes name mentioned even once.

Jasper laid that bouquet of flowers back down upon the grave reverently, and didn't answer her question.

Meanwhile, Samantha's heart was racing wildly. She was absolutely terrified that Willow's inquiry would expose her own lies. "I told Mr Jasper about our Yvette," she answered for him. "He's a kind soul with a gentle heart, so he was moved to come here and pay a visit to her grave. So what?"

Willow frowned slightly, but didn't say anything out loud. So... it was Samantha who had told Jasper about Yvette...

Perhaps these two were close? Otherwise, why would Samantha tell an outsider about this chapter of their family history?

It would also explain why Jasper would come all this way to pay his respects to Samantha's cousin.
