Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 282

Enoch looked at her, a hint of irritation in his voice, "I shouldn't have come looking for you? But you..."

He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly in warning, "Why didn't you come to me first when something happened? If you had, I wouldn't have had to come looking for you so early in the morning."

Hearing his words, Drusilla couldn't help but let out a sarcastic chuckle, "Oh, what a hardship for you!"

Enoch pressed on, "Tell me, what happened last night?"

Drusilla met his gaze and decided to spill the beans about the previous night's ordeal. "Last night, Harlan came looking for me, so I went down to see what he wanted. You know we don't get along. Lilith's pregnant, and he's been strutting around like a peacock. I exchanged a few words with him. Then his mother showed up with yours in tow.

She didn't realize I was talking to her son and started accusing me of having an affair...

When she saw Harlan, she changed her tune, accusing me of seducing him. I showed her the texts he sent me, and she backed off.

Your mom said, in this house, it's either Harlan or me. With Lilith expecting, I was the one who had to leave. She didn't want to make a scene, worried it would upset Lilith."

Drusilla added with a wry smile, "I think she was right. I really shouldn't stay there any longer. Enoch, to me, you're... like a distant star. Being with you, I always felt inherently inferior, as if I was taking advantage of you. I'm not your equal! If two people aren't meant to be, it's probably for the best to keep their distance.

When we got married, I never imagined... things would turn out this way."

Back then, there were no feelings between them, and they had no reservations.

But being with him, his kindness was overwhelming!

It was hard for her to control her emotions.

For someone who's been in the dark for too long, even the slightest bit of light can be blinding.

The moment she felt his kindness, it was as if he had a grip on her heart.

...

As her feelings grew, she found herself at a loss on how to bridge the gap between them.

Hearing her story, Enoch glanced at her, "That's it?"
