The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 145: Chapter 143: Leaving

"All these years, you and your mom hid it well, didn’t you?"

The self-service barbecue restaurant was already quite crowded, and now the people at the neighboring table had started to look over at Elliana Lyle and the others.

Upon hearing this, a girl whispered to her friends, "Isn’t that Elliana Lyle? The one across from her must be the illegitimate daughter, right?"

The girl with chestnut-colored curly hair in a white dress quickly took out her phone, opened the camera, and began to secretly take pictures behind the cover of her friends.

...

After hearing what Emily Lyle said, Elliana Lyle was momentarily at a loss for words. She was initially shocked and angry, then tolerant, and now astonished.

Emily Lyle didn’t seem to have done anything wrong, yet she still couldn’t accept this fact. Ever since her mother died, she always thought her family was happy and that her parents both loved her.

But with her mother’s passing, it seemed like the family changed all of a sudden, and now a "sister" had appeared out of nowhere.

"I’m sorry, I’ll never look for dad again. After I graduate, I’ll leave South City, and I won’t come back to trouble you."

Emily Lyle clenched the chopsticks in her hand tightly, shaking all over. She began to regret meeting Shawn Lyle today; she had been avoiding this for so long...

Ever since she was a child, she lived with her grandmother, and when she was nine, after her grandmother passed away, she stayed with her rarely-seen mother.

Later, she met the father she had no recollection of, but her grandmother had told her before she died that she was an illegitimate child and had to live in the shadows, not to ruin someone else’s intact family.

But she also longed for a complete family. She had thought about competing with Elliana Lyle and sighed at how unfair life was, wondering why Elliana could enjoy a secure and complete family, while she had to stay hidden!

Yet she kept her grandmother’s words in mind, so she only dared to seek out Shawn Lyle on her birthday every year. After she started college, she persuaded her mother to remarry and embarked on a new life.

In fact, today was also her last meeting with Shawn Lyle. She planned to leave South City after graduating and never come back again.

"It doesn’t matter." As she said this, she was relieved, perhaps realizing something, or perhaps she had completely lost all feelings for this father.

Elliana Lyle slightly raised her head, held back the tears in her eyes, and said, "I’ll pretend I never saw you." With that, she got up and walked away without a moment of hesitation.

"Let’s go!" Luna also stood up and followed after Elliana Lyle.
