UNTIL SAFE HAVEN OPENED HER MOUTH AND RUINED IT ALL.
She knew there was no point in lying to him anymore. He was wiser now and wouldnt believe if she were to say she were his also adopted mother. Besides whatever lie she told, something told her the man would know. He could sniff the fear in people and smell their feelings as well. There was obviously no hiding from him. "I am your mothers sister." She slowly said.
Silence.
Nicholas could not process well what she had just said. "My mothers sister?" He questions again and the old woman nods her head. Nicholas frowns his face. Was this woman taking advantage of the fact that he respects her to tell lies to him? "You dont even know my mother." He spat looking elsewhere.
He was feeling angry already but no matter how angry he was, the inner him didnt push him to hurt the old woman. It was as if they both knew just how important she was to him.
