Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 484

Manu's brother seemed unable to stomach his stepmother, and his comment was what anyone who knew both women would say. What surprised me, however, was their father's reaction, who appeared bothered by his son's words for some reason and reprimanded him.

"Don't talk nonsense, Cam! You've been overly impressed since Manu visited your house," his father scolded him, but this caught my interest.

"Impressed?" I asked, wanting them to elaborate. My instinct told me there was more to this.

"Cam hadn't seen Manu for a year since she came here. He only saw her again when she went to the city to tell him she was moving. But since then, he's been fixated on how much his sister has changed."

"When I met Manu, she was already like this. That change had already happened," I explained.

"Dad, you can't deny they look alike," Cam complained to his father.

"Keep your voice down, boy! I don't want your sister hearing this nonsense! I've told you before, you're just projecting her image onto Manu," his father admonished.

"And what about you? Are you going to keep denying that you were shocked too?" Cam challenged his father, who looked at him speechlessly.

"Now I'm curious. Who does she look like? I assumed she took after her mother since she doesn't resemble you, sir, though she looks a lot like her brother," I explained my impression to their father.

"Yes, but you know that Cam and Manu don't share the same mother, right?" Her father asked me, and I nodded.

"I'll show you, and you can judge for yourself." Cam took out his phone and showed me a photo of a beautiful woman who looked remarkably like Manu.

"Who is she?" I asked, finding this all rather strange, thinking she might be an aunt.

"Does she look like her or not?" Cam insisted.

"It's as if the woman in the photo were a slightly older version of Manu," I answered honestly.

"I told you, Dad! Are you going to say he's projecting too?" Cam said triumphantly.

"Cam, that's impossible! It's just a coincidence. You've been watching too many soap operas with your wife and coming up with impossible theories," the father looked at his son as if explaining the same thing for the thousandth time.

"The woman in the photo is my mother. She died when I was seven years old. She was pregnant with a girl and died during childbirth," Cam explained, and something clicked inside me.

"But my daughter also died during childbirth," the father explained, and I saw pain in his eyes. "I wasn't there. I had gone to a neighboring town on business and left my pregnant wife at the farm. Cam went with me because I had promised him a toy, and we were going to buy it that day."
