......
There was complete silence.
Cindy's eyes were widened as she stared at Celeste in a daze.
After asking the question, Celeste also fell silent.
This topic was taboo.
This topic was forbidden in their house. Every time she mentioned this, she would get scolded.
Celeste had asked this question back when she was very small. Consequently, her aunt had refused to visit her for three months.
Her nanny had taken care of her during that period, and she was scared that her nanny would abandon her too.
When she was still living in Canada, she spent most of her time alone.
But now, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She had come clean with everything.
Now, this problem was presented and it had to be resolved.
Celeste only wanted to know the truth. She knew she probably looked crazy.
She didn't have such courage at any given moment.
Now, she had mustered up her courage.
She wanted to know the truth.
