182 When there's a Will, There's a Way

"Things?" she replied, "Like the wedding date?" she said with a wide attractive smile.

William nodded, "Right... but also some things that I need to tell you about me. Things that might make you upset..."

"Upset?" she frowned "like what?"

Her beautiful smile changed to a sad frown in a matter of seconds and Will internally kicked himself.

"Lina... Listen, so it's about Julie's mother."

"Jen?" she interrupted.

He flinched at the sound of the name, "Ahem, yes... So as you know, she passed away when Julie was four. However that was what her grandmother told Julie to ease the pain..."

"Ease the pain?" Lina repeated and Will could literally see the happiness drain from her face.

"Yes, It was what the Chang family told Julie to avoid her finding out that her mother abandoned her."

"I don't get it," Lina said looking disturbed, "Why would they say that? That's sick! People actually have parents who die! Why didn't you correct them?"
