Chapter 286 Daughters

• Amelia took the chance to look at him lovingly. “I love you, Edward. I love you even if you’re not the brother of Christopher. I’m not someone who loves someone for their money.” She looked down and put on a regretful look. “I was young and dumb, so I listened to the villagers and sold Grace’s children to the human traffickers. I’ve been haunted by it all these years. When I was in the Knight Residence, I groveled before her and let her do anything she wanted to do to me. I used up my savings just to get some news about Madam Hollie and her kids, but still she chased me away. I was blinded by rage, so I did that to her. I’ll surrender myself after the child is born, so don’t worry.” She wiped her tears and was about to leave.
• Edward pitied this gaunt, fragile woman, so he chased after her. “It’s late, so let me send you home.”
• Amelia smiled imperceptibly, for she knew Edward would take the bait. She had heard that Ellie had moved out from his house. Even though she failed to kill Grace, chasing Ellie away and making Edward sympathize with her was a good enough reward.
