Chapter 397
In response to my question. Emmett did not give a direct answer. He looked at the pouring rain outside and finally chose to sit inside the tent. Then, with a solemn expression, I said, “I looked a lot like Leland, so the person your relatives used to support was named Leland, and I would sometimes pretend to be him and go to your house. But when my grandparents noticed that I was different, I confessed, and they decided to secretly
take me in
My breathing became a little rapid, and suddenly I recalled some fragmented scenes.
That was when I was a child, a little boy secretly watching me. When I went to my grandparents’ house, he would secretly play with me. Later, he brought along a little girl and told me that this little girl was his true playmate.
Yes, that person must be Emmett. Grandpa and Grandma said not to let him appear in front of me, otherwise he was very worried about being discovered by his daughter.
“I remembered, and I immediately felt so foolish. You, the girl you used to bring with you when you were young, she was Maggie from the orphanage not far from our grandparents’ house, right?”
“Yes! At first, your grandparents thought I was Leland, the impoverished student sponsored by your parents. But after I confessed, they felt sorry for me, so they have been supporting both me and Maggie ever since!”
The raindrops pitter-pattered on the tent, masking the pounding of my heart at that moment.
At that time, I told my grandparents that I liked a little boy and I wanted him to be my brother. He should be Emmett.
I remember very clearly when the three of us played together, I asked Emmett if he would like to come to my house and be my brother.
Emmett said that he wouldn’t be with you unless you let me bring Maggie along, the three of us together. I can’t leave her behind.
I was very angry at that time, and I even threw a tantrum saying that Emmett didn’t like me. If that’s the case, then I won’t play with him anymore in the
future.
