Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Her mother, Helena Joneson, used to be the most dazzling young lady in Blaydal. Before Margot was married, she was also a beauty from the same city. The two of them had a close relationship and often hung out together.

However, as time passed, they reached a point where they fell in love for the first time. Margot had a crush on Theodore, but he secretly had his eye on Helena. In contrast, Helena fell in love with the famous sculptor named Grover Lynwood. Due to their situation, a love quadrangle was formed.

As Margot reflected on the past, Elspeth noticed a hint of jealousy in her eyes. “You have no idea how many people fell head over heels for your mother back then. I assume 80 percent of the men in Blaydal had a crush on her, but your mother didn’t fancy any of them. Instead, she fell for your father, Grover, on an outing.”

As soon as the name ‘Grover’ was brought up, Margot sighed. “Sadly, your father was too poor for your grandfather’s liking. He wasn’t even able to pay a million for the bride-dowry.”

A million?! Elspeth gasped in shock. Who else besides those born with a silver spoon and those from wealthy families could afford to pay a one million bride dowry?

“Due to that, old Mr. Joneson wasn’t willing to marry your mother to your father. At the same time, Theodore proposed marriage to your mother, which made your grandfather realize how nice of a person he was. That’s how he agreed to Theodore’s proposal.”

Suddenly, Margot could not help clenching her teeth at the mention of that incident and continued, “He was really filthy rich back then—”

Elspeth chuckled dryly before asking, “What happened after that?”

“Something outrageous happened.” While recalling the incident, Margot’s expression soon became solemn.

“What happens?”

“Apart from your mother, the Jonesons had another daughter, but she was rather introverted and was raised at home. I saw her, and she was as lovely as your mother. However, your mother eloped with your father the day before the engagement. At that moment, Theodore’s twin brother, Thiago, was drunk and ran to the backyard of Joneson Residence.”
