Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Richard family secret

"To be honest, what happened that year was not only related to your mother but also to me and Isabella. There was another person, your uncle."

As soon as David said that, Stella was stunned.

She had an uncle? Why didn’t she know? Why hadn’t she seen her uncle before? Where had he gone?

"That’s what your uncle to you. He is back, isn’t he? He must hate me so much that he can’t wait for you to hate me too." Just as Stella was about to ask David about her uncle, he blurted out. She remembered that she was fibbing to him, so she just shut up.

"Your uncle was a famous heartthrob back then. Isabella liked him very much and chased after him all the time. I, on the other hand, liked your mother very much. Your mother and I fell in love with each other. We are very happy together. But Isabella and your uncle were very unfortunate. Your uncle had a car accident and was in the hospital. On the way to see your uncle, Isabella was r*ped by a hooligan in an alley. Later, she became pregnant, but she did not dare to tell your uncle. She could only find me and asked me to help her. I persuaded her to tell your uncle but she refused. She said that she was afraid that your uncle felt that she was ruined, so I took her to the hospital to get rid of the child. The doctor said that her condition was very special. If the child was gotten rid of, she would never be able to have another child again, and there would be a great impact on her body. Thus, I advised her to keep the child. She did not say anything. When she left the hospital, she happened to meet your mother and her friend who were there for a pregnancy test. When your mother saw me, she thought I had something to do with Isabella. She was very sad. Later, I explained the matter to her, and she forgave me. However, at that time, your uncle hated me so much that he decided not to go back to the Richard family. We were also afraid of mentioning the sad matters surrounding your uncle, so you have never known about his existence."

Stella felt that her view of life that day had been completely overturned. She had lived for more than 20 years, but she didn’t even know that she had an uncle. Oh my god, it was so unbelievable.

"Who knew that Isabella would say that she was pregnant with my child? Your uncle hated me so much that he stayed outside for a long time and never come home. Later, your mother gave birth to you. At that time, Isabella’s child was already born. Yes, it was Tristan. Later, everyone kept saying that he was a product of Isabella’s first love, but to be honest, he was not. Even Isabella didn’t know who Tristan’s father was."

It was a bolt from the blue sky, making Stella confused. Oh my, what on earth was this?

"To be honest, before your mother was pregnant, I made a mistake. Isabella found me and knelt on the ground. She apologized to me and said that she was sorry for me and she shouldn’t have ruined my reputation. Later, I drank too much of that day. She called me and said that Tristan had a fever and she couldn’t do anything about it. She kept crying on the phone, so I had no choice but to come to get her house. Unexpectedly, that night..."

Stella knew that Sophia’s birth was purely an accident.

"I was afraid that your mother would blame me, so I thought that she would never forgive me if I said that I had a child. I didn’t expect that after I had you, she found out that I had a relationship with Isabella and my relationship with your mother become weaker. Therefore, I seldom went home at that time, and I couldn’t watch you grow up. It was all my fault. It was I who ignored you."

It turned out that there was a reason why David didn’t go home before and why he didn’t care about her.

"Later, you grew up. I don’t know where your uncle found out that Isabella was pregnant with my daughter and caused trouble in our family. At that time, you were in kindergarten. Fortunately, you weren’t at home, otherwise, you would have been scared. He found your mother and told her about it. Then, he left the country in a range and never come back. Because of this, your mother fell sick and insisted on getting a divorce from me. You know what happened later." David said with a long sigh.

"How could it be like this..." Stella was also stunned. She had never thought that there would be so many things that she did not know about. She had always thought that things were as simple as David having an affair.

"Is your uncle back? Have you met him?" After a long time, David asked.

"No, I lied to you," Stella explained, a little embarrassed.

"Alas, child." David sighed and then burst into laughter. "After I said that, I felt relieved. To be honest, I didn’t know how to face you all these years, so I have been running away. I didn’t dare to face you because I thought you were still blaming me. I don’t think your mother ever forgave me. I feel sorry for you. I am very sorry!"

"It doesn’t matter. You should have told her earlier. She would have forgiven you and we wouldn’t have blamed you."

For so many years, she had been thinking about why David refused to treat her as a daughter. Until now, she finally understood that there weren’t any parents in the world who did not love their children. Sometimes, it was just their method was not appropriate. Both parents and children should tolerate each other and take care of each other. The most important thing was to live in harmony with each other in the family.
