Female Novel
Chapter 404 Rejection
Adeline seemed to lose focus momentarily. Then, she said, "Why do you want to know about this? Isn't it normal for friends tolose contact?"
“But you grew up together, and you must have a deeper relationship than most people. Something in particular must havehappened to make you suddenly break off contact with each other, right?”
Adeline smiled slightly. "You're overthinking this. It wasn't anything in particular. It was just that our paths in life diverged.
"She's now an internationally renowned designer who's in high demand. I'm just a single mother who was cheated on by ascumbag. I'm just scraping by with this bookstore.
"The two of us live in two completely different worlds. There's no need to bring up the past, is there?""Is that true?”
"Why should | lie to you?” Adeline looked perfectly calm.
She asked instead, "Why did you come to me? What's your purpose? | doubt it's that simple, is it?"
Grace voiced out her doubts. "Ms. Wentworth, | won't hide things from you. | suspect that the Jessica we're seeing now isn't thereal Jessica. Someone else has replaced her."
Adeline looked startled. It took her several seconds to pull herself together.
In disbelief, she said, "You must be joking! A person getting replaced by another person? That only happens in the movies. Howcould it happen in real life? Stop joking around with me."
Grace stated the evidence for her theory. "It does sound ridiculous, but no matter how much a person changes, their blood typewon't change. Their design style wouldn't change either."
"What are you trying to say?" Adeline sounded harried. She didn't seem to believe what Grace was saying.
However, Grace said, "Five years ago, Jessica was in a car accident that totally ruined her face. Due to this incident, herpersonality changed completely, and she broke off contact with you. Don't you think that it's strange?"
Adeline looked away and said, half to herself, "What's strange about that? She was in a car accident, and she went through atraumatizing experience. It's normal to change a little. There's no need to speculate too much about it."
“Really? Then let's make a bet."Adeline looked at Grace in confusion. "A bet? What kind of bet? What's there to bet on?”
"Ms. Wentworth, why don't you call Jessica right now and ask her about a secret that only the two of you know? See if she cananswer you and prove whether or not she's the real Jessica."
Adeline refused at once when she heard this.
"Ridiculous! What's there to sayabout things in the past? icosaying is compleésly prefoster us,Apyina latter what you say, | won'tbelieve it! If there isn't anything else, |would like you to leave!" Please readthe original content atNovelDrama.Org.
