Theo looked at me and finally nodded. "Of course. If Millicent Yard really is your mother, then this time, you can finally reveal the secrets of your past. It's great news."

Standing at the door, I felt uneasy and shook Theo's hand tightly.

Theo patted the back of my hand and signaled me not to be nervous. "It's okay, I'm here."

"Yeah." I nodded and followed Theo into the house.

Petra and Grayson were delighted to see us. They looked behind us and were disappointed when they did not see the children. "Why didn't you bring our grandchildren here?" I looked at Theo, and he reminded me with his eyes to speak.

Taking a deep breath, I said slowly, "Mom and Dad, I'm here this time because I have something important to confirm with you."
